Feature Request - Add json supplied content to the partial sample pages. about angular-seed HOT 5 CLOSED

I agree that the angular-seed should really include an angular resource. I'm trying to add a resource to the seed project right now, and I'm having quite a bit of trouble because the syntax used for the controllers doesn't match the documentation at http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/dev_guide.mvc.understanding_controller, and the services.js file is laid out differently as well. I'm not sure which is older, or if both are correct. Either way, I'd be nice to have a resource in the template!

If I'm not mistaken the syntax for the controllers follows the rules as described in the document you referenced. Notice the paragraph 'Setting up the initial state of a scope object':

Many of the examples in the documentation show the creation of functions in the global scope. This is only for demonstration purposes - in a real application you should use the .controller method of your Angular module for your application as follows:

var myApp = angular.module('myApp',[]);

myApp.controller('GreetingCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope) { $scope.greeting = 'Hola!'; }]);

If you're learning about Angular, and need to know about resources, and writing a service to access Restfull services have a look at 'Step 11' of the AngularJS tutorial. It provides code on how to achieve this:

@ekettoz —thanks for the info! I was definitely confused about the examples on those pages that use the global scope. Wrapping the controllers into a module definitely makes sense for a larger project. Once I realized that the ".controller" approach does dependency injection using the ['$scope', function($scope) {… syntax I was able to get my resources working. I'll check out that tutorial and make sure I'm doing it right, though!

Thanks—sorry to pollute this ticket with my problems ;-) I think it would definitely be helpful to throw this into the seed.

The aim is to keep angular-seed as lightweight as possible. Please use angular-phonecat for examples of more complex angular usage.
