I want to call .get in Angular factory. Can I please have any help why mydata is staying empty. I can see in console that json is loading but mydata variable has no value:

.factory('People', function($http) { $http.get("http://www.example.com/service_2.php").success(function(response) { var mydata = response;});

What does console.log(response) give you? – camden_kid Mar 2 '15 at 20:16
    
Thanks for your help. Yes it logs the record but if i send JSON statically then controller shows right values and with above returned response as 'null'. – Sam222 Mar 2 '15 at 21:01
    
Controller is: .controller('MContactCtrl', function($scope, People) { $scope.values = alert(People.all()); }) and all function: return { all: function() { return mydata; – Sam222 Mar 2 '15 at 21:05

The code snippet is good but maybe you should try making mydata a global variable. that is, declare it outside the inner function and set it to null. So, upon the complete execution of the $http.get, echo mydata on a new line.

It shows JSON when i check in console but my controller stays empty and no results though if i put same JSON inside array statically it works. – Sam222 Mar 3 '15 at 14:01
