Angulajs wait till REST API returns data - angularjs

Question

I am using Trello API, which does not return promise. It has callback functions. I want to write a wrapper to it, which will wait till callback is executed and return the data.
I have written below code :
function getLoggedInMember() {
var deferred = $q.defer();
Trello.members.get("me", deferred.resolve);
deferred.promise.then(function (user) {
return user;
});
}
This function is in my Member Service. Below is my routeConfig :
angular.module('trelloDashboard').config(['$routeProvider', function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'Views/Login.html',
controller: 'LoginController'
})
.when('/Dashboard', {
templateUrl: 'Views/Dashboard.html',
controller: 'DashboardController',
resolve: {
user: function (MemberService) {
return MemberService.getLoggedInMember();
}
}
});}]);
This is obviously not working. Is there a way to achieve what I am trying to do here?
Thank you.

Answer 1

Try adding
deferred.promise.then(function (user) {
return user;
},function(error){
console.log("Error");
console.log(error);
//ur return statement
});

Answer 2

Not tested, but try:
.when('/Dashboard', {
templateUrl: 'Views/Dashboard.html',
controller: 'DashboardController',
resolve: {
user: MemberService.getLoggedInMember
}
But your getLoggedInMember function should return a promise.
According to angular docs:
resolve - {Object.=} - An optional map of dependencies which should be injected into the controller. If any of these dependencies are promises, the router will wait for them all to be resolved or one to be rejected before the controller is instantiated. If all the promises are resolved successfully, the values of the resolved promises are injected and $routeChangeSuccess event is fired. If any of the promises are rejected the $routeChangeError event is fired.

Here is what worked!
function getLoggedInMember() {
var deferred = $q.defer();
Trello.members.get("me", function(user){ deferred.resolve(user); });
return deferred.promise;
}
No change was needed in route config.
