$timeout not defined error in AngularJS app

rated 0 times [ 45] [ 4] / answers: 1 / hits: 47649 / 11 Years ago, wed, september 25, 2013, 12:00:00

I have the following code:

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



    var position = {

        latitude: 44,

        longitude: 26

    };



    console.log(Timeout started);



    $timeout(function() {

        position.latitude += 15;

        position.longitude += 15;

    }, 2000);



    return position;

}]);

And I get $timeout not defined in Javascript console. Am I not injecting the dependency of the service correctly ?

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) {

    ...

});
