    <p>After much reading, it seems that the recommended way to call a web service from an AngularJS controller is to use a factory and return a promise from that. </p> <p>Here I have a simple factory which calls a sample API.</p> <pre><code>myApp.factory('MyFactory', ['$http',function($http) { var people = { requestPeople: function(x) { var url = 'js/test.json'; return $http.get(url); } }; return people; }]); </code></pre> <p>And this is how I call it in the controller</p> <pre><code>myApp.controller('MyCtrl1', ['$scope', 'MyFactory', function ($scope, MyFactory) { MyFactory.requestPeople(22).then(function(result) { $scope.peopleList = result; }); }]); </code></pre> <p>While it works fine, I would like to be able to mock the <code>result</code> that is passed in when <code>then</code> is called. Is this possible? </p> <p>My attempt so far has produced nothing. This is my attempt:</p> <pre><code>//Fake service var mockService = { requestPeople: function () { return { then: function () { return {"one":"three"}; } } } }; //Some setup beforeEach(module('myApp.controllers')); var ctrl, scope; beforeEach(inject(function ($rootScope, $controller) { scope = $rootScope.$new(); ctrl = $controller('MyCtrl1', { $scope: scope, MyFactory: mockService }); })); //Test it('Event Types Empty should default to false', inject(function () { expect(scope.peopleList.one).toBe('three'); })); </code></pre> <p>The error that I get when running this in karma runner, is</p> <p>TypeError: 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'scope.peopleList.one')</p> <p>How can I get this test working with my mocked data?</p>

    1. COI've read about it, but my controller doesn't take a $http. Can you elaborate on what you mean?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
