I have a simple controller, like:
function MyController($scope, $http) {
...
$http.post(url).success(function(data) {
console.log(data)
});
}
MyController.$inject = ['$scope', '$http'];
Everything works as expected, but I have a problem. The returning JSON is commented with /** */ for security reasons. With jQuery I have extended the $.ajax object to remove this comments and then parse the result. I would like to achieve the same with Angular and somehow tell $http to remove the comments from each response too. I want to do this for my whole application and avoid typing always the same.
Any ideas how I can do that?
You're going to want to transform all your $http responses. I haven't done this before, but the relevant documentation is below.
Transforming Requests and Responses
Both requests and responses can be transformed using transform functions. By default, Angular applies these transformations:
Request transformations:
- if the data property of the request config object contains an object, serialize it into JSON format.
Response transformations:
- if XSRF prefix is detected, strip it (see Security Considerations section below)
- if json response is detected, deserialize it using a JSON parser
To override these transformation locally, specify transform functions as transformRequest and/or transformResponse properties of the config object. To globally override the default transforms, override the $httpProvider.defaults.transformRequest and $httpProvider.defaults.transformResponse properties of the $httpProvider.
Read more in the $http service documentation.
You may wish to switch from wrapping your JSON responses in /** */ to that which is already supported out of the box by $http. Instead, prefix your JSON responses with )]}',\n.
e.g. If your JSON response is:
['one','two']
then, instead of returning:
/**['one','two']*/
simply return:
)]}',
['one','two']
