Can't get result data with $http angularjs

Question

I\'m trying to use $http, but why it return null result?

angular.module(\'myApp\')
.factory(\'sender\', function($http) {
    var newData = null;
    $http.get(\

As YardenST said, $http is asynchronous so you need to make sure that all functions or display logic that are dependent on the data that is returned by your $http.get(), gets handle accordingly. One way to accomplish this is to make use of the "promise" that $http returns:

Plunkr Demo

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);

myApp.factory('AvengersService', function ($http) {

    var AvengersService = {
        getCast: function () {
            // $http returns a 'promise'
            return $http.get("avengers.json").then(function (response) {
                return response.data;
            });
        }
    };

    return AvengersService;
});


myApp.controller('AvengersCtrl', function($scope, $http, $log, AvengersService) {
    // Assign service to scope if you'd like to be able call it from your view also
    $scope.avengers = AvengersService;

    // Call the async method and then do stuff with what is returned inside the function
    AvengersService.getCast().then(function (asyncCastData) {
            $scope.avengers.cast = asyncCastData;
    });

    // We can also use $watch to keep an eye out for when $scope.avengers.cast gets populated
    $scope.$watch('avengers.cast', function (cast) {
        // When $scope.avengers.cast has data, then run these functions
        if (angular.isDefined(cast)) {          
            $log.info("$scope.avengers.cast has data");
        }
    });
});
