Angular - Pass input value to factory $http query parameter - angularjs

Question

I have created a factory to run an $http GET method. I need to add an input value to the URL pulling in the JSON but I'm having trouble passing it from the controller. I can see that the URL is being created correctly, I am just missing the "query" parameter from the form input field.
Here is my HTML block:
<input type="string" class="form-control" ng-model="getMovie.title">
Here is my factory and controller:
var app = angular.module('app', []);
app.factory("getMovie", ['$http',function($http){
var obj = {};
var url = "https://api.nytimes.com/svc/movies/v2/reviews/search.json";
obj.getMovieInfo = function(){
return $http({
url: url,
method: "GET",
params:{
query: this.title, // This is the value I need
api_key: "68094e1974e7984c256beb1653319915:3:33678189",
callback: "JSON_CALLBACK"
},
headers: {
"Content-Type" : "application/json"
}
}).then(function successCallback(response) {
this.movieReviews = response.data.results;
}, function errorCallback(response) {
console.log("Nothing to see here...");
});
}
return obj;
}]);
app.controller('moviesCtrl', ["$scope", "getMovie", function($scope, getMovie){
$scope.findMovie = function(){
getMovie.getMovieInfo().then(function(response){
$scope.results = response;
});
}
}]);
Thanks!

You can send the title as parameter to the factory method.
<input type="string" class="form-control" ng-model="title">
var app = angular.module('app', []);
app.factory("getMovie", ['$http',function($http){
var obj = {};
var url = "https://api.nytimes.com/svc/movies/v2/reviews/search.json";
obj.getMovieInfo = function(title){
return $http({
url: url,
method: "GET",
params:{
query: title, // This is the value I need
api_key: "68094e1974e7984c256beb1653319915:3:33678189",
callback: "JSON_CALLBACK"
},
headers: {
"Content-Type" : "application/json"
}
}).then(function successCallback(response) {
this.movieReviews = response.data.results;
}, function errorCallback(response) {
console.log("Nothing to see here...");
});
}
return obj;
}]);
app.controller('moviesCtrl', ["$scope", "getMovie", function($scope, getMovie){
$scope.findMovie = function() {
getMovie.getMovieInfo($scope.title).then(function(response){
$scope.results = response;
});
}
}]);

I recommend you dont use this . If you want use controllerAs syntax , use like this . You can see more in here
https://github.com/johnpapa/angular-styleguide/tree/master/a1#controllers
app.factory("getMovie", ['$http',function($http){
var vm = this
vm.getMovie ={};
And in ajax
return $http({
url: url,
method: "GET",
params:{
query: vm.getMovie, // This is the value I need
api_key: "68094e1974e7984c256beb1653319915:3:33678189",
callback: "JSON_CALLBACK"
},
headers: {
"Content-Type" : "application/json"
}
}).then(function successCallback(response) {
vm.movieReviews = response.data.results;
}, function errorCallback(response) {
console.log("Nothing to see here...");
});
}
return obj;
}]);
