Using jQuery's $.ajax within an angularJS controller

Question

How can I use jQuery\'s $.ajax() function inside an angularJS controller (instead of angularJS built-in $http) so that the $scope values can be accessed from a view/template

Answer 1

Because using jQuery ajax is out of the world of angular, you need to wrap your $scope assignment inside of

$scope.$apply(function(){
    $scope.user = data;
});

Angular's $http comes pre-built with the digest cycle triggering mechanism.
