How to use HTTP.GET in AngularJS correctly? In specific, for an external API call?

Question

I have the following code in the controller.js,

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

myApp.service(\'dataService\', function($http) {
delete $http.def         


        

Answer 1

When calling a promise defined in a service or in a factory make sure to use service as I could not get response from a promise defined in a factory. This is how I call a promise defined in a service.

myApp.service('serverOperations', function($http) {
        this.get_data = function(user) {
          return $http.post('http://localhost/serverOperations.php?action=get_data', user);
        };
})


myApp.controller('loginCtrl', function($http, $q, serverOperations, user) {        
    serverOperations.get_data(user)
        .then( function(response) {
            console.log(response.data);
            }
        );
})
