我可以从AngularJS调用Django管理器方法吗？

Question

Is it possible to call Django Manager Methods from AngularJS?

For example like this factory PUT method called in AngularJS:

var app = angular.module('app', ['ngResource', 'ngRoute']);
// Some APIs expect a PUT request in the format URL/object/ID
// Here we are creating an 'update' method
app.factory('Notes', ['$resource', function($resource) {
return $resource('/notes/:id', null,
    {
        'update': { method:'PUT' }
    });
}]);
// snipped ...
Notes.update({ id:$id }, note);

But for Django's get_or_create for example?

So instead of this in Django:

obj, created = MyObject.objects.get_or_create(**kwargs)

I'd like to do something like:

app.factory('Notes', ['$resource', function($resource) {
return $resource('/notes/:id', null,
    {
        'get_or_create': // some code here but do not know what??
    });
}]);
// snipped ...
Notes.get_or_update({ id:$id }, note);

I'd like to do this because I have written a good deal of custom Django Managers and would like to use AngularJS for the UI, but don't want to re-write them all if necessary.

Thanks

The point is that Angular is a client-side framework, and Django is server side. The only way they can communicate is via HTTP, which means that if you want Angular to call a Django manager method, you need to expose that via a URL connected to a view. As the comments say, one way to do that is via Django REST framework, but if that's overkill for your use case you can always write the views yourself.
