How can i set default param in ngResource to be POST - angularjs

Question

I have a simple AJAX request that needs a csrf token for every call and i define it like so:
app.factory('auth', ['$resource', '$cookies', function($resource, $cookies){
var getCsrf = function() {
//get csrf token from cookie
};
return {
login: $resource('auth/login', {}, {
'q' : {
method: 'POST',
params: {csrf_token: getCsrf()}
}
}),
// ... some more requests
};
}]);
As i understood it you can specify the default url parameters as second param of the $resource()-call, in my case the empty object {}. Apparently the data i set in the configurations object under params: ... also gets send via GET and not with the specified POST-method.
One way would be to manually put the csrf_token in where i make the call to the api-function, but i'd like to keep it clean. Is there a way to tell angular what method to use for the default params? So i could simply use ..
auth.login.q(email, password, ...).then( ... );
.. without having to implement the csrf-getter function into all my calls. Also i am relatively new to AngularJS so a simple answer would be great!

There is an easy way to this in angular:
set the xsrf cookie name and header name defaults in the config module.
app.config(['$httpProvider', function($httpProvider) {
// response cookie name
$httpProvider.defaults.xsrfCookieName = 'csrf_cookie';
// request header name where the value of the cookie get set
$httpProvider.defaults.xsrfHeaderName = 'HTTP_X_XSRF_TOKEN';
// to set ajax request header
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.common = { 'X-Requested-With' : 'XMLHttpRequest'};
}
