Extending Umbraco and using the API

Umbraco 7

Hello,

Does anyone know how you get an entity by a UDI in an angular controller?

I'm currently using this, but it only seems to work for the conventional integer Id.

                            entityResource.getByIds(ids, "Document").then(function (medias) {

                            _.each(medias, function (media, i) {

                                //only show non-trashed items
                                if (media.parentId >= -1) {
                                    $scope.images.push(media);
                                    $scope.ids.push(media.id);
                                }
                            });

                            $scope.sync();
                        });

I need to pass in a list of UDI's to get around a Courier issue.

Thanks

Paul

Hi Paul.

We had the exact same issue. Because Umbraco Cloud creates new id's on media files, when transfered.

So all our custom grid editors, where we use the media picker, took the wrong images.

But we found out that you also can get media by udi's.
```
var udi1 = "umb://media/8bc1618636a744dda98bc29df4d7ae56";
var udi2 = "umb://media/da98bc29df4d7ae568bc1618636a744d";

entityResource.getByIds([udi1,udi2], "Media").then(function (medias)
```
