Processing $http response in service

Question

I recently posted a detailed description of the issue I am facing here at SO. As I couldn\'t send an actual $http request, I used timeout to simulate asynchrono

I've read http://markdalgleish.com/2013/06/using-promises-in-angularjs-views/ [AngularJS allows us to streamline our controller logic by placing a promise directly on the scope, rather than manually handing the resolved value in a success callback.]

so simply and handy :)

var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
            app.factory('Data', function($http,$q) {
                return {
                    getData : function(){
                        var deferred = $q.defer();
                        var promise = $http.get('./largeLoad').success(function (response) {
                            deferred.resolve(response);
                        });
                        // Return the promise to the controller
                        return deferred.promise; 
                    }
                }
            });
            app.controller('FetchCtrl',function($scope,Data){
                $scope.items = Data.getData();
            });

Hope this help
