I'm encountering an issue trying to load a json file on a website where the file doesn't load if the url is missing the file extension.
eventsApp.factory('eventData', function($http, $q) {
return {
getEvent: function() {
var deferred = $q.defer();
$http({method: 'GET', url: 'data/event/1.json'}).
success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
deferred.resolve(data);
}).
error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
deferred.reject(status);
});
return deferred.promise;
}
};
});
In the code above, removing the ".json" extension causes the file to fail loading. This issue is becoming challenging as I am exploring the use of the $resource object in AngularJS and facing errors because I cannot specify the file extension when using this object.
When attempting the following approach:
eventsApp.factory('eventData', function($resource) {
var resource = $resource('/data/event/:id', {id: '@id'}, {"getAll": {method: "GET", isArray:true, params: {something: "foo"}}});
return {
getEvent: function() {
return resource.get({id:1});
},
save: function(event) {
event.id = 999;
return resource.save(event);
}
};
});
The JSON file fails to load, leaving me uncertain if there's a way to define the extension without affecting the ":id" variable.
I see two possible solutions to this problem. Either a) I need to correct something in my system to allow loading files without specifying an extension (indicating a potential system configuration error), or b) there might be a JavaScript workaround to add an extension without impacting the ":id" variable.
Any insights on how to tackle this challenge?
