How do I return data from a $http.get() inside a factory in angularjs

Question

I\'m having a lot of trouble with this and I can\'t seem to find anything here on SO or Google that helps me spot what I\'m doing wrong

Answer 1

Use defer:

obj.getResponse = function(){                 
    var temp = {};
    var defer = $q.defer();
    $http.get('hello.php').success(function(data){
            alert(data);
            temp =data;
            defer.resolve(data);

    });
    return defer.promise;
}
