I am working on an Employee controller that includes properties such as Id, Name, and Specification. I have created an Employee service which makes an ajax call to retrieve a list of employees. However, every time I make the call, I receive an empty response in the User field. Upon debugging the code, I discovered that the success function is called first before the actual ajax call is made. Interestingly, when I make the ajax call without using the service, everything works as expected.
angular.module('EmployeeServiceModule', [])
.service('EmployeeSer', ['$http',function ($http) {
this.Users = '';
this.errors = '';
this.SearchEmployee = function () {
// Ajax call
$http({
method: 'GET',
url: '/Home/GetEmployeeList',
params: { filterData: 'Test' },
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' }
}).then(onSuccess, onError);
var onSuccess = function (response) {
this.userUsers = response.data;
this.errors = '';
};
var onError = function (reason) {
this.userUsers = reason;
this.errors = "Error in retrieving data.";
};
return this.Users;
}
}]);
angular.module('Employee', ['EmployeeServiceModule'])
.controller('EmployeeController', ['EmployeeSer', '$scope', '$http', function (EmployeeSer, $scope, $http) {
this.Id = '';
this.name = '';
this.expertise = '';
$scope.repoSortOrder = 'id';
$scope.filterField = '';
// Call to service
this.GetAllEmployee = function () {
// Initiates the AJAX call
$scope.User = EmployeeSer.SearchEmployee();
// Returns the promise - Contains result once request completes
return true;
};
this.AddEmployee = function () {
var empData = {
Id: $("#txtId").val(),
Name: $("#txtName").val(),
Expertise: $("#expertise").val()
};
$http({
method: 'POST',
url: '/Home/Create',
params: JSON.stringify(empData),
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' }
}).then(onSuccess, onError);
// Returns the promise - Contains result once request completes
return true;
};
var onSuccess = function (response) {
$scope.user = response.data;
$scope.error = '';
};
var onError = function (reason) {
$scope.error = "Error in retrieving data.";
};
}]);
