Your script file should have the following contents:
(function() { var app = angular.module("SimpleAngularApp", []); var MainController = function($scope, $http) { var onUserComplete = function(response) { $scope.user = response.data; }; var onError = function(reason) { $scope.error = "Could not fetch the user"; } $http.get('https://api.github.com/users/berendjdejong') .then(onUserComplete, onError); }; app.controller("MainController", ["$scope", "$http", MainController]); }());
Then for your html file, which should include the script above and the Angular.js script, the contents should be:
{{user.login}}
{{error}}
Some important things to note:
- The html tag contains an attribute with the name of your angular module SimpleAngularApp
- The anonymous function is called immediately with a so called IIFE to setup the controller
- The body tag has an attribute ng-controller that references the controller added to the module
