Getting this error:

angular.min.js:122 TypeError: $http.get(...).success is not a function at getUserInfo (app.js:7) at new (app.js:12) at Object.invoke (angular.min.js:43) at Q.instance (angular.min.js:93) at p (angular.min.js:68) at g (angular.min.js:60) at g (angular.min.js:61) at g (angular.min.js:61) at angular.min.js:60 at angular.min.js:21

Here is my code:

var gitHub = angular.module('gitHub', []);

gitHub.controller('mainController', ['$scope', '$http', function($scope, $http) {

    var $scope.user = '';
    function getUserInfo($scope, $http){ 
        $http.get('https://api.github.com/users')
            .success(function (result) {
                $scope.user = result;
                console.log(result);
            });
    };
    getUserInfo($scope, $http);
}]);

and here is the html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="gitHub">
<head>
    <title>Github Users Directory</title>
    <script src="angular.min.js"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <div ng-controller="mainController">
        <div>
            <h1>GitHub Users</h1>
            Who do you want to search for?<input type="text" name="FindHim" ng-model="queryName" />
            <button ng-click="getUserInfo()">Search</button>
        </div>
        <div>
            {{ user }}
        </div>

    </div>
</body>
</html>

The .success and .error methods are deprecated and have been removed from AngularJS 1.6. Use the standard .then method instead.

$http.get('https://api.github.com/users')
  .then(function (response) {

    var data = response.data;
    var status = response.status;
    var statusText = response.statusText;
    var headers = response.headers;
    var config = response.config;

    $scope.user = data;
    console.log(data);
});

Deprecation Notice

The $http legacy promise methods .success and .error have been deprecated and will be removed in v1.6.0. Use the standard .then method instead.
