ng-lodash with restangular

[steel119]

Hi,

Is it possible to use restangular with ngLodash. I tried using it but its giving me an error?
Uncaught Error: [$injector:modulerr]

Thanks!!

Did anyone got a chance to look at this?

restangular uses lodash by default, but it uses lodash 3.10 and not the latest one.

Latest version of lodash has changed around a few things such as _.contains is now _.includes and has other things applied such as _.slice etc.

I feel like restangular is discontinued somehow the repo hasn't been updated since June.

btw here is restangulars bower file under dependencies you can clearly see that restangular requires lodash in order to go ahead.

Restangular should specify lodash correctly (in accordance with SemVer) in its package.json file.

My question is not about the latest issue that we are facing because of lodash upgrade to 4.0.0.
We have an angularized version of lodash known as ngLodash. I tried using restangular using ngLodash but i am facing error while doing so. Is there a way to run restangular using ngLodash?

@dalgard lodash is specified in the package.json: https://github.com/mgonto/restangular/blob/master/package.json#L32

@steel119 I don't know how exactly ngLodash would work with Restangular. Restangular references Lodash directly on window, but there's been added support for for modules, so maybe there's a way to hook into that?
There's also been some talk of removing lodash.
Anyhow, this seems like a reasonable thing to support, so I'd love to hear your thoughts on it/see a PR for it.

If there is a specific need for a particular version of lodash then the package.json file should have that expected version in the file.

ALSO (important)
If the project has a requirement that the lodash exists before it is loaded then it should require that dependency, so that it actually works and correctly loads its own dependencies in such a way as not to cause errors.

var _ = require('loadash'); somewhere 

right now - requiring restangular just generates the following error:

You might be using an older version of Restangular. There are a couple commits to master that aren't in a release that fix this. See also #1397. Try using the version of Restangular on master for right now until 1.5.3 is released.

Should not restangular have lodash injected as a factory or such?
I want to make a angular wrapper factory around lodash as explained here http://www.jvandemo.com/how-to-properly-integrate-non-angularjs-libraries-in-your-angularjs-application/

But it will break due to restangulars dep on lodash "$window._"

Any ways to fix that?
