Hey there. I need to know how retrieve informations from the web in form of JSON object. The similar thing I found on the web was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCnGSOaaZFo.
Basically, he takes fresh news from the “freshly pressed” on wordpress (a collection of posts chosen by the wordpress staff) and displays it on the app.
I need to do a similar thing, as I said: display in a tab page of my app the information i put onto that JSON file that stays on my server.
How can I do it? Comparing my app (a standard basic tabs app with some static informations) to the one i found, I have 3 separate files for app, controller and services; instead he has only one. With this little change (I’m weak, I admit it), I can’t adapt his functions, which he retrieves informations from the wordpress json, to mines.
EDIT: Ok, thanks to the comment and some research we got it. Now the problem
is that every time I go on the “page” with the news, they should be
updated. How can I make it updates every time I go in there?
You’ll need a way of converting wordpress content into JSON format that your app can consume. Wordpress has a plugin for that: https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-api/
Have a controller (in the controller.js) that uses the $http service like below (untested code - i trimmed this from mine)
.controller(‘ViewPosts’, function($scope, $http) {
// Define function
$scope.loadPosts = function(){
$http({
method: ‘JSONP’,
url: ‘URL_PROVIDED_BY_WORDPRESS_JSON_PLUGIN’
}).success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
// data contains the response
// status is the HTTP status
console.log(data);
$scope.post = data.post;
// $scope.post = $scope.post.id
// headers is the header getter function
// config is the object that was used to create the HTTP request
}).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
console.log(status);
// alert(status);
});
}
$scope.loadPosts();
})
Thank you for the reply, @semoju. I will try this in the very moment I stop posting on forum.
But I also searched for on stackoverflow and found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16930473/angularjs-factory-http-get-json-file.
Basically, in my factory method, I do the same things, but I cannot reach the server. That’s my code: .factory('Advices', function($http) { var advices = null; $http.get('http://myurl.myext/myfile.json').success(function (data) { advices = data; }).error(function(error) { console.log('error'); //even if there i print the error it prints nothing });
Well I tried it. REALLY don’t know how it gives me 404 error!
Then I thought that the url can be wrong: should I include the http:// or just // or what?
