I am trying to find the remainder of a factory return. I keep getting null even though the obj is returning a number. Is there a way to convert the return to a true number?
Setting up module with route provider
var emanuel = angular.module('emanuel', []).config(function($routeProvider){
$routeProvider.when('/weekday-morning', {
templateUrl: 'content/weekday-morning.html',
controller: 'WeekdayMorning'
});
$routeProvider.otherwise ({redirectTo: '/home' });
});
the factory that receives date (mm/dd/yyyy) string and parses it against a JSON calendar
emanuel.factory('DayService', function($http, $q, $window){
var obj = {};
obj.oscWeek = function(d){
//receives a date format mm/dd/yyyy
var promise = $q.defer();
$http.get('content/calendar.json').success(function(data) {
var temp ='';
for (var i=0; i<data.calendar.seasons.season.length; i++){
//iterates through the end dates of all seasons to find current season
var day = new Date(d).getTime();
var end = new Date(data.calendar.seasons.season[i].end);
end.setHours(23,59);
//$window.alert(end);
end = end.getTime();
var diff = end - day;
diff = diff /(1000*60*60*24);
//$window.alert(diff);
if (parseFloat(diff) > 0){
// upon finding current season, find the time lapse since the start of the season
var start = new Date(data.calendar.seasons.season[i].start);
//$window.alert(start);
start = start.getTime();
var startDiff = day - start;
// converts time lapse into whole weeks
var week = parseInt(startDiff /(1000*60*60*24*7))+1;
promise.resolve(week);
break;
}
}
});
return promise.promise;
}
return obj;
});
The controller that receives the obj return. temp returns 1 but temp%2 returns Null.
emanuel.controller('WeekdayMorning', function($scope, DayService){
$scope.display = function(d) {
var date;
if(d=='today'){
date = new Date();
} else {
date = $scope.date;
}
var temp = DayService.oscWeek(date);
$scope.week = temp;
$scope.modulo = temp%2;
}
});
Your service method returns a promise. The modulo operator doesn't apply to a promise. You should have this in your controller:
temp.then(function(week) {
$scope.week = week;
$scope.modulo = week % 2;
});
