AngularJS Http

This lesson is part of AngularJS · All levels

Summary

Service $http uses AngularJS to communicate with servers, both GET and POST. Because AngularJS follows a promise pattern, responses are handled in the success/error (former) or .then/.catch (modern application) blocks. When receiving server data, the response is usually placed on $scope to keep the display updated.

Key points

$http.get and $http.post are the most common methods
Respons are promises and dealt with with .then and .catch
The response data is usually stored in $scope for updated display
Note the JSON data form returned by the server
