Looking to incorporate AngularJS smart table into my website, I've reviewed the documentation on smart table but am struggling with understanding how the app.factory functions here. Specifically, I'm interested in learning how to implement the createRandomItem function for data stored in my MongoDB database.
app.factory('Resource', ['$q', '$filter', '$timeout', function ($q, $filter, $timeout) {
//service for communicating with the server
var randomsItems = [];
function createRandomItem(id) {
var heroes = ['Batman', 'Superman', 'Robin', 'Thor', 'Hulk', 'Niki Larson', 'Stark', 'Bob Leponge'];
return {
id: id,
name: heroes[Math.floor(Math.random() * 7)],
age: Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000),
saved: Math.floor(Math.random() * 10000)
};
}
for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
randomsItems.push(createRandomItem(i));
}
//simulation of server call
function getPage(start, number, params) {
var deferred = $q.defer();
var filtered = params.search.predicateObject ? $filter('filter')(randomsItems, params.search.predicateObject) : randomsItems;
if (params.sort.predicate) {
filtered = $filter('orderBy')(filtered, params.sort.predicate, params.sort.reverse);
}
var result = filtered.slice(start, start + number);
$timeout(function () {
deferred.resolve({
data: result,
numberOfPages: Math.ceil(filtered.length / number)
});
}, 1500);
return deferred.promise;
}
return {
getPage: getPage
};
}]);
