Tweaking $http response without a response interceptor (AngularJS)

sample.js

function makeRequest(){
  // var config = {...}
  var query = $http(config);
  query.then(function onSuccessIntermediate(response) {
      // When this HTTP response comes back, we will use this function to tweak any data
      var deferred = $q.defer();
      var promise = deferred.promise;
  
      // $http has a success and error helper function, so we need to make this promise look the same.
      promise.success = function(fn) {
          promise.then(function(response) {
              fn(response.data, response.status, response.headers, config);
          });
          return promise;
      };
  
      promise.error = function(fn) {
          promise.then(null, function(response) {
              fn(response.data, response.status, response.headers, config);
          });
          return promise;
      };
  
      if (angular.isObject(response) && angular.isObject(response.data)) {
          // Modify response.data, then resolve
          // response.data.touched = 1;
          deferred.resolve(response);
      }
  
      return promise;
  });
  
  return query;
}

/*
  This can be used just like $http:
  makeRequest()
    .success(function(data){})
    .error(function(data){});
