Angular Module 'cordovaHTTP' is not available - angularjs

Question

I am running Ionic and trying to use cordovaHTTP for SSL pinning. I followed the instructions on the the github but I get the error that the module isn't there.
My index.html
<script src="lib/ionic/js/ionic.bundle.js"></script>
<script src="cordova.js"></script>
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
<script src="js/controllers.js"></script>
<script src="js/services.js"></script>
My app.js:
angular.module('starter', ['ionic', 'starter.controllers', 'starter.services', 'cordovaHTTP'])
In services.js:
angular.module('starter.services', [])
.service('MyService', function(cordovaHTTP) {
cordovaHTTP.enableSSLPinning(true, function() {
console.log('successful ssl pin');
cordovaHTTP.useBasicAuth("user", "pass", function() {
console.log('successful basic auth!');
cordovaHTTP.get(url, function(response) {
console.log(response.status);
}, function(response) {
console.error(response.error);
});
}, function() {
console.log('error basic auth');
});
}, function(){
console.log('error ssl pin');
});
});
This results in the error:
Uncaught Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module starter due to:
Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module cordovaHTTP due to:
Error: [$injector:nomod] Module 'cordovaHTTP' is not available! You either misspelled the module name or forgot to load it. If registering a module ensure that you specify the dependencies as the second argument.
I have tried messing with this countless times but no dice. Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

Actually I think you're initializing your module multiple times. In angular factories / services are singleton. Your code look like something this
angular.module('starter', ['ionic', 'MyService', 'cordovaHTTP']) //setters for a module
Please make sure you're injecting right service or factory name. You should change your service declaration way too, like below
angular.module('starter') //Don't use [] it is only getter of above initialized module
.service('MyService', function(cordovaHTTP){
//Code
});
Also please don't forget to load app.js at last. Hope it may help you.

I found the solution from github issues.
Make sure that you load the angular js files after cordova js files in index.html.
Here's my index.html:
<script src="lib/ionic/js/ionic.bundle.js"></script>
<script src="lib/jquery/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="lib/ngCordova/dist/ng-cordova.min.js"></script>
<!-- cordova script (this will be a 404 during development) -->
<script src="cordova.js"></script>
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
<script src="js/controllers.js"></script>
<script src="js/routes.js"></script>
<script src="js/directives.js"></script>
<script src="js/services.js"></script>
Is angular defined?
cordova-HTTP will only instantiate the cordovaHTTP module if angular is defined otherwise it will fall back to window.cordovaHTTP.
You could use this this:
document.addEventListener("deviceready", function () {
console.log(window.cordovaHTTP);
console.log(window.CordovaHttpPlugin); // For some version it's instantiated in this name if angular is not defined.
}, false);
Manually bootstrap your AngularJS app instead of using the ng-app attribute.
Code:
<script>
angular.element(document).ready(function() {
document.addEventListener("deviceready", function () {
console.log(window.cordovaHTTP);
console.log(window.CordovaHttpPlugin); // For some version it's instantiated in this name if angular is not defined.
angular.bootstrap(document, ['MyAppName']);
}, false);
});
</script>
When using it in your controller or service, do not need to add the $.
Just use it like this:
angular.module('MyAppName.services', [])
.service('MyService', ['cordovaHTTP', function(cordovaHTTP){
// Your codes are here.
}]);
