I have a $http.post call but the callback function does not get called. I have the exact same code for another call and that one works. Can you see any issues with the following code.
var data = {entityIds: $scope.allEntityIds, accountIds: $scope.accountIds};
$http.post("http://localhost:8080/psi4web/rest/social/posts", data,
{params: {filter: $scope.filters,
pageNum: $scope.pageNum, pageSize: $scope.pageSize}})
.then(function(res) {$log.info("test me")}, onError);
For debugging purposes, I added an inline function inside then() as shown above and that doesnt work either. I made sure that the data is being returned by the backend.
Thanks.
Just a few minor details that are keeping you from having success. Corrected code below.
var data = {entityIds: $scope.allEntityIds, accountIds: $scope.accountIds};
var myPost = $http.post("http://localhost:8080/psi4web/rest/social/posts", data, {params: {filter: $scope.filters, pageNum: $scope.pageNum, pageSize: $scope.pageSize}});
myPost.then(function(res){
$log.info("test me");
}, function(){
onError();
});
Figured it out. The issue was that I had one .jsp page load the other while this http call was being processed and that was wiping out the $scope in my .js script which was being shared by both the jsp pages. Basically, my structure of files and loading things wasn't right (being a newbie to angularjs)
You may have forgotten to inject the dependency on $q which is responsible for providing $promise

Been wrestling with API stuff all day, and decided to use Restanglar. Really having issues getting the data out, and into $scope.
I understand that it won't just be the JSON that is returned from the API, and has a bunch of other internal methods etc. But when I get the data out, I can see it buried somewhere in the debugging with console.log, but I can't seem to get it into $scope to use it in my view which was working fine previously.
How can I get that data out into my $scope, and therefore my view?
Model
angular.module('horse', ['restangular'])
.config(function(RestangularProvider) {
RestangularProvider.setBaseUrl('http://url/api');
RestangularProvider.setResponseInterceptor(
function(data, operation, what) {
if (operation == 'getList') {
return data[what];
}
return data;
});
});
Controller
angular
.module('horse')
.controller("IndexController", function ($scope, Restangular) {
$scope.horse = null;
$scope.showSpinner = true;
Restangular.all('horse').getList().then(function(horse) {
$scope.horse = horse;
console.log($scope.horse);
});
});
API response
{"error":false,"horse":[{"id":"1","name":"horse 2"},{"id":"2","name":"horse 2"}]}
Edit 1
Restangular response
[Object, Object, route: "horse", getRestangularUrl: function, getRequestedUrl: function, addRestangularMethod: function, clone: function…]
Edit 2
I have also tried this - https://github.com/mgonto/restangular#using-values-directly-in-templates
$scope.horse = Restangular.all('horse').getList().$object;
Which just results in an empty array being output. I have also tried removing the setResponseInterceptor and modifying the structure of the api to result the data array directly without the meta stuff (error, etc), no joy :(
The data seems to be coming through. I notice you're using Steroids, have you checked the markup and not just the console?
Make sure you set the scope spinner to false, to ensure that the spinner is hidden when the data comes through.
$scope.ShowSpinner = false;
Assuming that what you have shown as "API response" is what's getting outputted from the console.log in your controller, it seems that all you need to do is set your scope model the the property "horse" in the response data like this:
$scope.horse = horse.horse;
Since that reads pretty oddly, you should change the param name of the .then callback to data, which would be a much more agnostic and standard param name. If you make that change you can set your horse data to your scope model from inside your callback like this:
$scope.horse = data.horse;
If I misunderstood your question let me know. Hope this is helpful.
I'm trying to test some services that receive some modifications. Some of them are using $http service, and only one of them is populating an unknown - and a not understandable - issue.
Let me expose.
it('must reject the promise with an explanation if the required path is not found', function() {
$httpBackend.whenGET('http://localhost/testok').respond(function () {
return [200, mockedRemoteResponse, {}];
});
var promise = apiDataExtractor.extractRemoteData('ok', 'toto');
$httpBackend.flush();
});
Running this code throught Jasmine, we got this:
I do not have ANY idea of what appends. I try to change injection order, try to erase and rewrite my test, there is something here I'm missing.
Can anyone help?
The error you are seeing is probably due to a call to $http.get with undefined as the url (you might have forgotten to provide parameters to $http.get() inside apiDataExtractor.extractRemoteData?)
Try debugging your code and see what are the parameters you are giving the $http.get method.
I am trying to make Breeze.JS to make use of angular's http service for ajax calls. I followed the the docs (http://www.breezejs.com/documentation/customizing-ajax) and applied it. However it doesn't work.
Further more when I checked breeze source code I saw the following:
fn.executeQuery = function (mappingContext) {
var deferred = Q.defer();
var url = mappingContext.getUrl();
OData.read({
requestUri: url,
headers: { "DataServiceVersion": "2.0" }
},
function (data, response) {
var inlineCount;
if (data.__count) {
// OData can return data.__count as a string
inlineCount = parseInt(data.__count, 10);
}
return deferred.resolve({ results: data.results, inlineCount: inlineCount });
},
function (error) {
return deferred.reject(createError(error, url));
}
);
return deferred.promise;
};
It simply calls OData.read without doing anything about http service. Thus OData makes use of builtin ajax. I don't understand with above code, how it is possible to customize ajax of Breeeze.JS
The problem is that the Breeze OData path does NOT use the Breeze Ajax adapter. Changing the Breeze Ajax Adapter (as the "Breeze Angular Service" does) won't help.
At the moment, both the "OData" and "webApiOData" DataService Adapters delegate to the 3rd party datajs library for AJAX services (and for other OData-related support).
You could replace its odata.defaultHttpClient with a version of your own based on $http. That's not a trivial task. Look here for the source code; it's roughly 160 lines.
I suppose we could write one. It hasn't been a priority.
Until somebody does it or we abandon datajs (not soon if ever), you're stuck with the datajs ajax.
Sorry about that.
p.s. Just about everyone who talks to OData data sources uses the datajs library. Maybe you can talk to the authors of that library and try to get them to support$http.
Quick and dirty hack to simulate $http service
I ran into this issue today. Since the external datajs AJAX methods are used rather than Angular's $http service (as explained by Ward), Breeze queries do not trigger a digest and the models do not get updated.
As with any external-to-angular changes, the simple solution is to wrap any assignments from your queries in a $scope.$apply() function. However, this will quickly clutter up your app so it's a bad idea.
I came up with a quick and dirty hack that so far seems to work well:
I have a dataContextservice which encapsulates all my Breeze queries and exposes methods like getCustomers(), getProducts() etc (inspired by the example on the Breeze site).
When any of these data-access methods completes (ie the promise resolves), I call a triggerAngularDigest() method.
This method simple calls $rootScope.$apply() inside a $timeout().
The $timeout() causes Angular to run the digest on the next tick, i.e. after the data from your Breeze query has been assigned to your models.
All your models update just like when you use $http, no need to call $apply() in your controllers.
Simplified version:
function dataContext($rootScope, $timeout, breeze) {
// config of entity manager etc snipped
return {
getCustomers: function () {
return breeze.EntityQuery.from('Customers')
.using(manager)
.execute()
.then(function(data) {
triggerAngularDigest(); // <-- this is the key
return data;
});
}
};
function triggerAngularDigest() {
$timeout(function() {
$rootScope.$apply();
}, 0);
}
}
myApp.factory('dataContext', dataContext);
Then:
// some controller in your app
dataContext.getCustomers().then(function(data) {
scope.customers = data;
});
I am using AngularJS Services in my application to retrieve data from the backend, and I would like to make a loading mask, so the loading mask will start just before sending the request. but how can I know when the request ends?
For example I defined my servive as:
angular.module('myServices', ['ngResource'])
.factory('Clients', function ($resource) {
return $resource('getclients');
})
.factory('ClientsDetails', function ($resource) {
return $resource('getclient/:cltId');
})
So I use them in my controller as:
$scope.list = Clients.query();
and
$scope.datails = ClientsDetails.get({
date:$scope.selectedId
});
So the question would be, how to know when the query and get requests ends?
Edit:
As a side note in this question I've been using using angularjs 1.0.7
In AngularJS 1.2 automatic unwrapping of promises is no longer supported unless you turn on a special feature for it (and no telling for how long that will be available).
So that means if you write a line like this:
$scope.someVariable = $http.get("some url");
When you try to use someVariable in your view code (for example, "{{ someVariable }}") it won't work anymore. Instead attach functions to the promise you get back from the get() function like dawuut showed and perform your scope assignment within the success function:
$http.get("some url").then(function successFunction(result) {
$scope.someVariable = result;
console.log(result);
});
I know you probably have your $http.get() wrapped inside of a service or factory of some sort, but you've probably been passing the promise you got from using $http out of the functions on that wrapper so this applies just the same there.
My old blog post on AngularJS promises is fairly popular, it's just not yet updated with the info that you can't do direct assignment of promises to $scope anymore and expect it to work well for you: http://johnmunsch.com/2013/07/17/angularjs-services-and-promises/
You can use promises to manage it, something like :
Clients.query().then(function (res) {
// Content loaded
console.log(res);
}, function (err) {
// Error
console.log(err);
});
Another way (much robust and 'best practice') is to make Angular intercepting your requests automatically by using interceptor (see doc here : http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.$http).
This can help too : Showing Spinner GIF during $http request in angular
As left in a comment by Pointy I solved my problem giving a second parameter to the get function as following:
$scope.datails = ClientsDetails.get({
date:$scope.selectedId
}, function(){
// do my stuff here
});
When I instantiate the following code in an AngularJS app, I get weird data in the transformResponse function (bottom of code). I'm not calling the $resource function from any controller, just loading the script in a browser. The data variable (see code) contains the HTML of the current partial, when loading the app.
This seems odd. Is this the way it's supposed to be?
var buddyServices = angular
.module('buddyServices', ['ng','ngResource'])
.factory('Buddy',
function ($resource) { console.log('resource');
return $resource('http://webservice.buddyplatform.com/v1/:service',
{service:'', BuddyApplicationName: 'xxx',
BuddyApplicationPassword: 'yyy'}
);
}
)
.config(function($httpProvider){
delete $httpProvider.defaults.headers.common['X-Requested-With'];
$httpProvider.defaults.transformResponse = function(data) {
console.log(data);
return 'TEST: '+data;
};
});
=== EDIT ===
It just daunted on me: $httpProvider handles all http requests, so a page load is one of those. I'm guessing a bit now, but it seems probable. So, the question then becomes: Is there an "easy" way to constrain the data in the code above to only those requests performed by my service?
transformResponse takes another parameter headersGetter. You can use this to get the headers send with the response. Look for Content-Type header header. It should contain application/json
