I am new to AngularJS and find it very interesting, but I am a bit unclear about the following situation.

app.factory('deleteFac', function($http){



var factory = {}; 



factory.edit = function(id){

  $http.get('?controller=store&action=getDetail&id=' + id).

    success(function(data, status){

        /** 

        got an error on the following 

        when i use return data; and i get data undefined 

        in the controller which i get it because its doing a ajax call

        you don't get data until the call first.

        **/

        $scope.detail = data;

      })

    }



return factory;

})

I am getting error when I assign to $scope and use return data, is there anyway I can assign the return data to the $scope?

You don't typically use $scope inside a factory, service or provider. Usually, you would return the promise (returned by $http) and then handle the promise in a controller (where you do have $scope).

factory.edit = function(id){

    return $http.get('?controller=store&action=getDetail&id=' + id);

}

Controller function:

$scope.edit = function(id) {



    deleteFac.edit(id).then(function(response) {

        $scope.something = response.model;

    });

}
