$timeout not defined error in AngularJS app

Question

I have the following code:

app.factory(\'Position\', [\'$timeout\', function() {

    var position = {
        latitude: 44,
        longitude: 26
    };

           


        

Answer 1

You did not inject $timeout. It should be as follows.

app.factory('Position', ['$timeout', function($timeout) {
    ...
}]);

Declaration this way ensures that services are correctly identified when your JavaScript code gets minified. For further information on how this helps minification, see A Note on Minification and Declaring AngularJS Modules For Minification

If minification is not in your plans (e.g for quick test), you can simply go with

app.factory('Position', function($timeout) {
    ...
});
