I'm currently trying to make the API call work and want to see if it has managed to return the API data from the external source.
How do I print an output to the console from the app.js file, so that in this case I can see whether the API call has been returned?/is there a better way of doing this that I'm missing?
Should I be using $http or $resource?
Current code: js/app.js
var app = angular.module('imageViewer', ['ng', 'ngResource']);
function AppGallery($scope, $http) {
$http.jsonp('https://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?').success(function (data) {
$scope.data = data;
log(data);
});
};
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="imageViewer">
<head>
<title>Photo Viewer</title>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.12/angular.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.12/angular-resource.js"></script>
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="AppGallery">
{{data}}
</body>
</html>
This actually works a bit differently. You will have to define the callback function jsonFlickrFeed. Check the code below.
You will notice two things here:-
var app = angular.module('imageViewer', ['ng', 'ngResource']);
app.controller('AppGallery',[ '$scope','$http', function AppGallery($scope, $http) {
$http.jsonp('https://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?format=json').success(function (data) {
});
jsonFlickrFeed = function(data){
$scope.data = data;
console.log(data);
}
}]);

<html ng-app="imageViewer">
<head>
<title>Photo Viewer</title>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.12/angular.js"></script>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.12/angular-resource.js"></script>
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="AppGallery">
{{data}}
</body>
</html>

If you're using jQuery you can use jQuery.getJSON instead. More details regarding jQuery.getJSON .
