Get result of rest request instead of response?

Question

I have the following function in my controller.

RestRequestsSrvc.getUserDetail()
  .then(
    function (response) {
      $scope.user.userDetail = response;
    },
    function (error) {
      // TODO
    });

If I type

console.log(RestRequestsSrvc.getUserDetail());

the console logs a promise. I want to set a variable the the response. How can I modify my code so that I get the response instead of a promise?

Answer 1

Return a promise because your request is async.

You should wait the response,

Putting the console.log inside the callback function should print your info.

RestRequestsSrvc.getUserDetail()
  .then(
    function (response) {
      $scope.user.userDetail = response;
      console.log(response);
    },
    function (error) {
      // TODO
    });
