When you return promise, this means your request didn't finished yet. If you want to have the data, then you should have a return inside then:
function (){
....
var promise = $http.get(...)
promise.then (...){
//get info needed to return promise
return data;
}
}
Or you should just have this:
function getSmth(){
....
return $http.get(...)
}
and in the page were you call the above function to use the promise:
getSmth().then (...){
//this will be executed when the response is returned
}
Hope this helps.
That's the way promises work - your function gets returned right away, and you attach a callback to it via .then
function someFunc() {
return $http
.get(...)
.then(function() {
...
return data;
});
}
someFunc()
.then(function(data) {
/* to be executed after your promise.then() inside someFunc */
});
