I have the following which works fine, drawing info from a RESTful api feed
app.controller('servicesController', ['$scope', '$location', '$http', '$interval',
function($scope, $location, $http, $interval) {
var getData = function() {
// Initialize $scope using the value of the model attribute, e.g.,
$scope.url = "https://(remote link to JSON api)";
$http.get($scope.url).success(function(data) {
$scope.listOfServices = data.runningServices; // get data from json
});
};
getData();
$interval(getData(), 10000);
}
]);
$http.get($scope.url).success(function(data) {
$scope.listOfServices = data.runningServices; // get data from json
$scope.apply(); //I also tried $scope.runningServices.apply()
});
$scope.apply
is not your problem, the scope will be digested automatically at the end of the $http
request and $interval
. Certain actions automatically "inform" Angular that the scope may have changed and trigger a digest; only if you're writing "non-Angular" code may you have to explicitly trigger a scope digest, since otherwise Angular wouldn't notice any changes.
No, your issue is that you're calling getData()
, and then have its return value (undefined
) execute every ten seconds. Which is obviously nonsense. You just want to pass the function itself to $interval
:
$interval(getData, 10000);
// look ma, ^^^^^, no parentheses
