I'm trying to load some JSON and store it using $rootScope so that it persists between controllers. When I run my app I get the following error:
TypeError: Cannot call method 'get' of undefined
The get method was working perfectly until I tried to introduce $rootScope... any ideas?
My service looks like this:
1 /**
2 * Service to get the quiz data from a JSON source
3 */
4 app.factory('quizService', ['$rootScope', function ($scope, $rootScope, $http) {
5 var promise;
6 var service = {
7 getQuiz: function($scope, $http) {
8 if ( !promise ) {
9 promise = $http.get('QuizFileName.quiz').then(function (response) {
10 return response.data;
11 });
12 }
13 return promise;
14 }
15 };
16 return service;
17 }]);
My controller looks like this:
7 // Get Quiz data from service
8 quizService.getQuiz().then(function(data) {
9 $scope.quiz = data;
10
11 // Redirect to scores if already completed this
12 if($scope.quiz.complete === true) {
13 $location.path('scores');
14 }
15 });
OK, Reboog711 put me on the right track, I needed to modify my factory definition to include $http, I had previously tried to do this, but mistakenly put it together like this:
'$rootScope, $http'
Don't do this, it's bad and wrong! But Reboog711's answer also gave me errors because I think you can't use $scope in the way we both thought.
The correct (or working) solution was:
app.factory('quizService', ['$rootScope', '$http', function ($rootScope, $http) {
I hope this helps other newcomers to Angular. Many thanks to all who replied with their comments. I really respect this community for its great attitude to helping others :)
