In angular $http service, How can I catch the “status” of error?

Question

I\'m reading a book called, \"Pro Angular JS\". However, I have a question about how to catch a status of error.

What I coded is :

$http.get(dataUrl)

Since $http.get returns a 'promise' with the extra convenience methods success and error (which just wrap the result of then) you should be able to use (regardless of your Angular version):

$http.get('/someUrl')
    .then(function success(response) {
        console.log('succeeded', response); // supposed to have: data, status, headers, config, statusText
    }, function error(response) {
        console.log('failed', response); // supposed to have: data, status, headers, config, statusText
    })

Not strictly an answer to the question, but if you're getting bitten by the "my version of Angular is different than the docs" issue you can always dump all of the arguments, even if you don't know the appropriate method signature:

$http.get('/someUrl')
  .success(function(data, foo, bar) {
    console.log(arguments); // includes data, status, etc including unlisted ones if present
  })
  .error(function(baz, foo, bar, idontknow) {
    console.log(arguments); // includes data, status, etc including unlisted ones if present
  });

Then, based on whatever you find, you can 'fix' the function arguments to match.
