looking to save a service or factory as a variable

I seem to be at a standstill when it comes to finding a solution for my mvc.NET / angularjs project.

So far, I believe I've done a good job abstracting the view to use a controller that matches the type name of the specific controller.cs class:

<body ng-controller="@Model.ControllerType.Name">
...
</body>

Here is an example of the controller:

superSiteApp.controller("MediaController", ["$scope", "$window", "SubNavFactory", function ($scope, $window, SubNavFactory) {
         ...
});

While this approach has been successful, I have encountered difficulties with subnav-related tasks recently. For one section, I had to manually handle it (since it's not a service) by setting up a factory:

var superSiteApp = angular.module('superSiteApp', []);
superSiteApp.factory("SubNavFactory", ["subNavCollectionWrapper", function (subNavCollectionWrapper) {
    return {
        get: function() {
            return subNavCollectionWrapper.get();
        }
    };
}]);

Later on, I integrated it like this:

@section AdditionalHeaderLinks
{
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        superSiteApp.value("subNavCollectionWrapper", {
            get: function() {
                return @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model.Menus[1].Links));
            }
        });
    </script>
}   

This part functions well, but now I need to make a call to the API.

My idea is something along the lines of:

superSiteApp.service("SubNavFactoryUri", ["$http", "uri", function ($http, uri){
    return $http.get(uri);
}]);

However, this is where I am stuck. In my new View.chtml file, I'm unsure how to establish that connection.

@section AdditionalHeaderLinks
{
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        superSiteApp.value("subNavCollectionWrapper",  /* struggling here */);
    </script>
} 

I can't seem to figure out how to reference the service and pass it in. While I could create a custom function class, I wanted to utilize angularjs.

Perhaps my approach is incorrect, but it's all I could come up with. Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Answer №1

After some careful consideration, I decided to switch things up by implementing a factory instead of using the value() method. Although there are still a few kinks to iron out, breaking it down just made everything click for me.

This is where I'm at right now:

// Continuing with the previous approach for hard coded elements
superSiteApp.factory("SubNavFactory", ["subNavCollectionWrapper", function(subNavCollectionWrapper) {
    return {
        "get": function () {
            return subNavCollectionWrapper.get();
        }
    };
}]);

// Introducing the new concept from above
superSiteApp.service("SubNavServiceUri", ["$http", function($http) {
    return { 
        get: function(uri) { 
            return $http.get(uri); 
        }
    };
}]);


// Bringing them together. I will utilize the get(action) method to access the item
superSiteApp.factory("SubNavFactories", ["SubNavFactory", "SubNavServiceUri", function(SubNavFactory, SubNavServiceUri) {
        return {
            "ActionName1": {
                "get": function () {
                    return SubNavServiceUri.get("/the/rest/api");
                }
            },
            "ActionName1": SubNavFactory,
            "get" : function(action) {
                return this[action].get();
            }
        };
    }
]);
