declaring a promise in angularJS with named success/error callbacks

Question

I am trying to do something very similar to the $http service. From my understanding $http return a promise object.

When using it the syntax is :

$http(.

You need to use the $q service and create and return your own promise in GetUserProfile:

function GetUserProfile() {
    var deferred = $q.defer();
    var promise = deferred.promise;

    // success condition
    if (!true) {
        deferred.resolve('data');
    // error condition
    } else {
        deferred.reject('error');
    }

    promise.success = function(fn) {
        promise.then(fn);
        return promise;
    }

    promise.error = function(fn) {
        promise.then(null, fn);
        return promise;
    }

    return promise;
}

GetUserProfile()
    .success(function(data) {
        console.log(data);
    })
    .error(function(error) {
        console.error(error);
    });
