AngularJS app.controller syntax error?

Question

I am applying code to my project run by this guy https://github.com/simpulton/angular-photo-slider/blob/master/js/app.js. He has a little syntax error already, and the console tells you about it, but after I fixed it the console just gives the vague "SyntaxError: syntax error" message. Here's what I've been trying to do:

var app = angular.module('LOC Search', ['ngAnimate']);

app.controller('locListCtrl', ['$scope', function ($scope, $http)) {
$http.jsonp('http://loc.gov/pictures/collections?fo=json&callback=process=JSON_CALLBACK').success(function(data) {

$scope.slides = data.collections;

}
}]);

Does anyone have any suggestions? Also, different version of AngularJS will produce different results... Not sure which one to use with this particular example. THANKS!

You have double parentheses at places and some are missing.

Try this:

var app = angular.module('LOC Search', ['ngAnimate']);

app.controller('locListCtrl', ['$scope', '$http', function ($scope, $http) {
    $http.jsonp('http://loc.gov/pictures/collections?fo=json&callback=process=JSON_CALLBACK').success(function(data) {

        $scope.slides = data.collections;

    });
}]);

you forgot to inject the $http service.

try:

app.controller('locListCtrl', ['$scope', '$http', function ($scope, $http) {
   ...

or you can also do:

app.controller('locListCtrl', function ($scope, $http) {
    ...

but the second one is much less recommended, because the code won't work if you minify the code.
