Im trying to get data in a Json format from a remote WS using Angular and im having some trouble. The data comes from the web service correctly but i cant use it inside the controller. Why is that? Angular Code:
var booksJson;
var app = angular.module('booksInventoryApp',[]);
// get data from the WS
app.run(function ($http) {
$http.get("https://SOME_API_PATH").success(function (data) {
booksJson = data;
console.log(data); //Working
});
});
app.controller('booksCtrl', function ($scope) {
$scope.data = booksJson;
console.log($scope.data); //NOT WORKING
});
HTML:
<section ng-controller="booksCtrl">
<h2 ng-repeat="book in data">{{book.name}}</h2>
</section>
You should put your $http.get inside your controller.
Also, the web service returns an object not an array. So your ng-repeat should be something like this: book in data.books
Here is a working example:
var app = angular.module('booksInventoryApp', []);
app.controller('booksCtrl', function($scope, $http) {
$http.get("https://whispering-woodland-9020.herokuapp.com/getAllBooks")
.then(function(response) {
$scope.data = response.data;
});
});

<article ng-app="booksInventoryApp">
<section ng-controller="booksCtrl">
<h2 ng-repeat="book in data.books">{{book.name}}</h2>
</section>
