angularjs-factory

I'm trying to send a parameter to an angularjs service. Here is my service code : angular.module('skyBiometryServices', ['ngResource']) .factory('Facedetect', function( $resource ) { return $resource('skyBiometry/facedetect', {}, { query: { method : 'GET', params : {imageUrl: "http://cdn1-public.ladmedia.fr/var/public/storage/images/dossiers/presidentielles-2012/les-news-sur-les-presidentielles-2012/exclu-public-cauet-pour-ces-presidentielles-personne-ne-me-fait-rever-209063/2064021-1-fre-FR/Exclu-Public-Cauet-Pour-ces-presidentielles-personne-ne-me-fait-rever-!_portrait_w674.jpg"}, isArray:

I've been doing a lot of work on Angular.js and overall I find it to be an interesting and powerful framework. I know there have been a lot of discussions on Services vs. Factories vs. Providers vs. Values, but I am still pretty confused about what a Factory is. Factory has been defined in other StackOverflow discussions as the following: Factories Syntax: module.factory( 'factoryName', function ); Result: When declaring factoryName as an injectable argument you will be provided with the value that is returned by invoking the function reference passed to module.factory. I find this explanation

My factory looks like: 'use strict'; angular.module('myApp') .factory('httpInterceptor',['$q','$location', '$rootScope', function($q, $location, $rootScope){ return { response: function(response) { if(response.success === false) { console.log("Redirecting"); $location.path('/login'); return $q.reject(response); } return response || $q.when(response); } } }]); It spits out the log, but doesn't change the path. What can I do to make this happen? The documentation for $location says: Note that the setters don't update window.location immediately. Instead, the $location service is aware of the

I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out why I'm getting the Unknown provider error in Angular. I've checked every other question I could find on the subject and most suggest an error in dependency injection. However, it doesn't seem to me like I'm forgetting to inject anything. I've been trying to get the resolve property to work like this post by Misko . I'm able to console log out the employee data after it's resolved, but then I get the Unknown provider error, which prevents the data from being shown on the page. Here is my router: "use strict"; var app = angular.module('app',[

Please bear with me here. I know there are other answers such as: AngularJS: Service vs provider vs factory However I still can't figure out when you'd use service over factory. From what I can tell factory is commonly used to create "common" functions that can be called by multiple Controllers: Creating common controller functions The Angular docs seem to prefer factory over service. They even refer to "service" when they use factory which is even more confusing! http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/dev_guide.services.creating_services So when would one use service? Is there something that is only
