In my Angular file, I am attempting to access a database using $http and then store the retrieved data in a $scope variable for display on the webpage. However, I am encountering difficulties with $q.defer not running as expected. When I check the console.log() inside the $http function, it displays an object containing the database response data. But when I call the function, it only logs Object {then: function}. The actual data is within this object but seems to be accessed through Object.$$v, which I am unsure about.
var app = angular.module("app", []);
app.factory('portfolioFactory', function ($http, $q) {
var obj = {};
obj.getResponse = function(){
var deferred = $q.defer();
$http.get('./../includes/portfolio/db_access.php').success(function(data){
deferred.resolve(data);
console.log(data);
});
return deferred.promise;
}
return obj;
});
app.controller("PortfolioCtrl", function($scope, portfolioFactory) {
$scope.PortfolioItems = portfolioFactory.getResponse();
console.log($scope.PortfolioItems);
});
