Then Inject the swapi Service Into Your Components

controller usage:

angular.module('myApp')
.controller('starshipsController', function($scope, swapi) {
  swapi.starships.all()
  .then(function(starships) {
    $scope.starships = starships;
  });
});

route resolve usage:

angular.module('myApp')
.config(function($routeProvider) {
  $routeProvider
   .when('/starships', {
      templateUrl: 'starships.html',
      controller: 'starshipsController',
      resolve: {
        starships: function(swapi) {
          return swapi.starships.all();
        }
      }
    }
  });
});

Use It

ne-swapi provides one general purpose helper method:

• swapi.get(url) gets the resource(s) at the given url

and the following 5 helper methods for each of the SWAPI endpoints (films, people, planets, species, starships, vehicles):

• .all() returns a promise that resolves to all resources (not paginated)
  • sample: swapi.films.all()
• .id(id) returns a promise that resolves to a specific resource (defaults to 1)
  • sample: swapi.people.id(5)
• .get() returns a promise that resolves to the first page of resources
  • sample: swapi.planets.get()
• .page(page) returns a promise that resolves to the nth page of resources (defaults to 1)
  • sample: swapi.species.page(3)
• .schema() returns a promise that resolves to the resource schema
  • sample: swapi.starships.schema()

More Samples

swapi.get(url)

A wrapper for $http.get.

swapi.get('http://swapi.co/api/people/1/')
.then(function(person) {
  $scope.person = person; // {"name": "Luke Skywalker", "height": "172", ...}
});

swapi.vehicles.all()

swapi.vehicles.all()
.then(function(allVehicles) {
  $scope.vehicles = allVehicles; // {"count": 39, "results": [{"name": "Sand Crawler", ...} ...] ...}
});

swapi.films.id()

swapi.films.id(3)
.then(function(film) {
  $scope.film = film; // {"title": "Return of the Jedi", "episode_id": 6, ...}
});

swapi.people.get()

swapi.people.get()
.then(function(people) {
  $scope.people = people; // {"count": 82, "next": "http://swapi.co/api/people/?page=2", ...}
});

swapi.people.page()

swapi.people.page(3)
.then(function(people) {
  $scope.people = people; // {"count": 82, "next": "http://swapi.co/api/people/?page=4", ...}
});

swapi.species.schema()

swapi.species.schema()
.then(function(speciesSchema) {
  $scope.schema = speciesSchema; // {"required": ["name", "height", "mass", ...] ...}
});

chaining

since all methods return promises, you can chain calls:

swapi.films.id(2)
.then(function(film) {
  return swapi.get(film.characters[0]);
})
.then(function(person) {
  return swapi.get(person.vehicles[1]);
})
.then(function(vehicle) {
  $scope.vehicle = vehicle;
})
.catch(function(error) {
  //any error in the chain will fall through to here and skip subsequent .then calls
})
