This is my factory service and it is fetching data from a web service
var customersFactory = function ($http) {
var customer = [];
var getCustomersURL = "http://localhost:50340/Services/CustomerService.asmx/GetCustomers";
customer.XMLtoJSON = function (data) {
data = data.replace('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>', ''); ;
data = data.replace('<string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">', '').replace('</string>', '');
return $.parseJSON(data);
};
customer.GetCustomers = function () {
$http.post(getCustomersURL).success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
return customer.XMLtoJSON(data);
}).error(function (ata, status, headers, config) { });
};
return customer;
};
app.factory('customersFactory', customersFactory);
Now, this is being used in my controller
app.controller("CustomersController", function ($scope, customersFactory) {
var service = [];
service = customersFactory.GetCustomers();
$scope.Customers = service;
if ((typeof (service) != 'undefined') && service.length > 0) {
service.then(function (result) {
$scope.Customers = result;
});
}
});
The value of service is always undefined or empty. Data is not being passed from factory to controller. Im calling a simple web service, no fancy APIs or WCF.
It there was some static/dummy data, its working fine. The controller is fetching the data and is being displayed.
Where am I doing wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
What I have tried:
I'm a newbie to AnuglarJS and was struggling to get the dynamic binding of data but if I put some static/dummy data, it works.
So, where am I messing up? What else is missing in the code.
