Angularjs service callback to update scope of controller

Question

A service with a 3rd party library callback function:

mbAppModule.service(\'aService\', function ($http) {
    this.data={\"somedata\":0};
    var m3rdPartLib=\         


        

Answer 1

If you´re using scope in your service then it is a good indicator that you´re breaking SRP cause your service should only retrieve data to your controller. My suggestion is that you could do something like this.

mbAppModule.service('aService', ["$http", "$rootScope", function ($http, $rootScope) {
  this.data = {
    "somedata": 0
  };
  var m3rdPartLib = "init"; // init    
  this.GetPartLib = function () { 
    return m3rdPartLib;
  }
}]);

mbAppModule.controller({
  MController: function ($scope, $http, mService) {
  this.GetPartLib = function (){ 
    mService.on('timeupdate', function() {
     this.data.somedata=1;
    });
  }
});
