After Angular.js $http request, call complete function regardless of success or failure of promise

Question

How can I ensure that the complete() function will run regardless of the outcome of the $http call using the promise API provided with Angular.js?

$         


        

Answer 1

It depends on what you would like to do, but for clean-up logic and similar you may also use finally() to run either on fulfillment or rejection of your promise:

promise.finally(function () {
    // Do something regardless of outcome.
});

Please note that although finally() is supported by $q (and some other libraries) is not part of the official draft.
