I've been trying for a while to get the data from this call, but it always returns "undefined"
httpCall = function(sTformName) {
let sURL = "https://urlthisone/api/",
response;
$http.get(sURL)
.success(function(data) {
response = data;
});
}
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
You can return and resolve the promise...
httpCall = function(sTformName) {
let sURL = 'https://urlthisone/api/',
return $http.get(sURL);
}
httpCall('myForm').then(response => {
console.log(response.data);
});
$http.get is an asynchronous call and must be handled accordingly, in this case, by resolving the returned Promise
httpCall takes a parameter named sTformName. I'd imagine this means something to you...You're making an async call, and it will not return a value. It calls success and inside success you need to use a callback method in order to get the value you want, and work with it.
function doSomethingWithTheData(data) {
// process the data here.
}
httpCall = function(sTformName, callback) {
let sURL = "https://urlthisone/api/",
response;
$http.get(sURL)
.success(function(data) {
callback(data); // here's where we call the callback
});
}
// call it with the callback
httpCall(fornName, doSomethingWithTheData);
.success method is deprecated and removed from version 1.6.
Please, see documentation - https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/service/$http#get
According to it, if you use angular.js 1.4.3+, $http.get(sURL) returns promise. So you need $http.get(sURL).then(...)
Also, see $http.get(...).success is not a function might will help
undefined. That's the way JavaScript works.
