Delay an angular.js $http service

Question

I have some angular factories for making ajax calls towards legacy ASP.NET .asmx web services like so:

module.factory(\'productService\', [\"$http\",
function ($

If you are using a service that returns a promise, then inside you should put a return before the $timeout as well because that returns just another promise.

return dataService.loadSavedItem({
    save_id: item.save_id,
    context: item.context
}).then(function (data) {
    // timeout returns a promise
    return $timeout(function () {
        return data;
    },2000);
});

Hope it helps someone!
