Angular.js pass data from async service to scope

Question

I have a service like

app.factory(\'geolocation\', function ($rootScope, cordovaReady) {
    return {
        getCurrentPosition: cordovaReady(function (onSu         


        

Answer 1

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the presented solution won't work completely anymore, since newer Angular versions (>1.2!?) do no longer unwrap $q promises automatically.

Thus:

$scope.city = geolocation.getCurrentCity();

will always be a promise. So you will always have to use:

geolocation.getCurrentCity().then(function(city) {
    $scope.city = city;
}
