Replace static content with JSON Request

1

I have this code below that works perfectly and I want to replace the var events with a JSON request, I’ve tried tons of examples online and can’t figure it out. The remote example JSON url is http://appserver.falconinet.com/events.lasso and it spits out JSON and has the allow origin set to all.

    .factory('Events', function() {
  // Might use a resource here that returns a JSON array

  // Some fake testing data
  var events = [{
    id: 0,
    title: 'Swing Dance Party',
    subtitle: 'Lets Get Dancing!',
    when: 'Thursday, Feb 19, 2015 (6:30-9PM)',
    picture: 'http://goldsea.com/Text/images/8198.jpg',
    desc: 'Dance, dance, dance and enjoy mixed drinks, wine, or 40 beers on tap. Krista Mccart & Steve Davis will be doing a short 30 minute class for first time beginners at 6:30 and the dance starts at 7:00. The dance and lesson are free!!!'
  }, {
    id: 1,
    title: 'St. Patricks Day Party',
    subtitle: 'with Special Guest The Menders',
    when: 'Saturday, March 14th (9PM)',
    picture: 'img/menders.png',
    desc: 'Based out of Gastonia, NC, The Menders have been blending influences such as the Beatles, Jack White, The Doors, and Ryan Adams into a folk-laced garage rock sound. Since 2011, they\'ve been honing their craft around NC at venues such as Double Door Inn, The Visulite, The Milestone, Tremont Music Hall, and Snug Harbor.

  }];

  return {
    all: function() {
      return events;
    },
    remove: function(event) {
      events.splice(events.indexOf(event), 1);
    },
    get: function(eventId) {
      for (var i = 0; i < events.length; i++) {
        if (events[i].id === parseInt(eventId)) {
          return events[i];
        }
      }
      return null;
    }
  }
})

I’ve tried this, but I get an error…

.factory('Events', function() {
  // Might use a resource here that returns a JSON array

  // Some fake testing data
  var events = [];
    
    	return {
		getEvents: function(){
			return $http.get("http://appserver.falconinet.com/events.lasso").then(function(response){
				events = response;
				return events;
			});
		},
		getEvents: function(index){
			return events[index];
		}
	}

ERROR: TypeError: Events.all is not a function

.factory('Events', ['$rootScope','$http', '$q' ,
    function($rootScope,$http, $q) {
     return {
        getData: function() {
            var defer = $q.defer();
            $http.get('http://appserver.falconinet.com/events.lasso', { cache: 'true'})
            .success(function(data) {
              defer.resolve(data);
            })
            .error(function(data) {
            //error
            }
            });

           return defer.promise;
             }

}])

This is what i used…! even i got it from somewhere…!! you can try !! i fetched data from php file though…

tried that doesnt work at all…

5

in what way you called the getData function in Controller ? just to be sure… check whether the service was added to conroller

6

the code you tried before is like this…(your secnd code with http get)

.factory('Events', function() {

It should be

.factory('Events', function($http) {

since you using $http.get
