In this lab we will explore promise patterns in Angular, using $q
and $http
requests.
Your goal is build a user-friendly dashboard that can fetch and display the raw JSON any given API endpoint.
A random delay of up to 9 seconds is in place on all $http request!
Clone this repo.
Install the budo development server:
npm install budo -g
To run the server, make sure you're inside the application directory, then run:
budo --open
The homepage is broken. Your goal is to get the dasboard API interface working!
You may code in:
js/api_dashboard_controller.js
index.html
In js/api_dashboard_controller.js
you can modify the global variable FAIL_RATE
to be 50
, for a 50% chance that your http requests will fail / be rejected.
FAIL_RATE = 50 // 50% percent chance requests will fail
User Interface Improvements:
- Can you clear the input field
- Can you submit on
enter
? - Don't make me wait for API calls!
- Display "pending...", a load bar, or a spinny-wheel so that I know the app still works.
- Make sure the user never sees
{{ ... }}
rendered anywhere in the html.
- Promises in Javascript
- Promises in jQuery
- Promises in Angular
- Angular $http module reference
