Redirecting to another page prevents functions from returning their values

Leave a Comment

I have a Login page and if user logs in I want to redirect the user to another HTML page where I will list users tasks that I get from server.

The problem is:

Even though the functions I wrote works properly and backend API returns the values I want (I can see the value details on Console) when I use redirect code $window.location.href = '../Kullanici/userPanel.html the page redirects immedietly after login and for some reason I can't use the values returned by functions after redirection. Not only that I can't see the details of the value returned on console log anymore.

And here is my code for it:

Controller:

app.controller('myCtrl', ['$scope', '$http', '$window','$mdToast', 'userTaskList',     function ($scope, $http, $window, $mdToast, userTaskList) {         $scope.siteLogin = function () {              var userName = $scope.panel.loginUserName;             var password = $scope.panel.loginPassword;             var loginMember = { //JSON data from login form                 K_ADI: $scope.panel.loginUserName,                 PAROLA: $scope.panel.loginPassword             };             $http({                 method: 'POST',                 url: 'http://localhost:5169/api/Kullanicilar/KullaniciDogrula',                 headers: {                     'Content-Type': 'application/json'                 },                 data: loginMember              }).then(function successCallback(response) {                  console.log("message sent", response);                 $scope.data = response.data.error.data;                 if ($scope.data === true) {//if username and password is correct                      console.log("User exists");                     userTaskList.showActiveTasks(userName)                         .then(function (activeTaskResponse) {                             var activeTasks = activeTaskResponse;                             console.log("Active tasks (controller): ", activeTaskResponse);                              userTaskList.showFinishedTasks(userName)                                 .then(function (finishedTaskResponse) {                                     var finishedTasks = finishedTaskResponse;                                     console.log("Finished tasks(controller): ", finishedTaskResponse);                                     $scope.getMessage();                                     $window.location.href = '../Kullanici/userPanel.html';                                 }, function (err) {                                     console.log(err);                                 });                          }, function (err) {                             console.log(err);                         });                  }              }, function errorCallback(response) {                 console.log("Couldn't send", response);             });         } 

So what causes this problem and how can I fix it?

Edit: I nested .then parts but it doesnt work properly and gives This value was just evaluated now warning. So I stil can't use data on the redirected HTML page.

I also removed the factory since it makes the code look really messy and its probably not the source of the problem.

I would have nested the your two functions inside the first promise, then redirect once all of them are done. Something like

app.controller('myCtrl', ['$scope', '$http', '$window','$mdToast', 'userTaskList',   function ($scope, $http, $window, $mdToast, userTaskList) {     $scope.siteLogin = function () {          var userName = $scope.panel.loginUserName;         var password = $scope.panel.loginPassword;         var loginMember = { //JSON data from login form             K_ADI: $scope.panel.loginUserName,             PAROLA: $scope.panel.loginPassword         };          $http({             method: 'POST',             url: 'http://localhost:5169/api/Kullanicilar/KullaniciDogrula',             headers: {                 'Content-Type': 'application/json'             },             data: loginMember          }).then(function successCallback(response) {              console.log("message sent", response);             $scope.data = response.data.error.data;             if ($scope.data === true) {//if username and password is correct                  console.log("User exists");                 userTaskList.showActiveTasks(userName)                     .then(function (res) {                         var activeTasks = res;                         console.log("Active tasks (controller): ", res);                          userTaskList.showFinishedTasks(userName)                         .then(function (res) {                             var finishedTasks = res;                             console.log("Finished tasks(controller): ", res);                             $scope.getMessage();                              $window.location.href = '../Kullanici/userPanel.html';                         }, function (err) {                             console.log(err);                         });                      }, function (err) {                         console.log(err);                     });              } else { //if username or password is wrong                 $mdToast.show(                     $mdToast.simple()                         .textContent('Username or Password is wrong')                         .position('right')                         .hideDelay(3000)                             );                   }          }, function errorCallback(response) {             console.log("Couldn't send", response);         });                }    } ]);

Oh I injected ngRoute to my AngularJS module but haven't use it yet.

Using $window.location.href kills the app and loads the other page, losing $rootScope, $scope, and all service data.

Re-factor your code to use a router and store the data in a service:

$routeProvider  .when('/userPanel' , {      templateUrl: 'partials/userPanel.html',      controller: panelController }) 
 panelService.set(data);  $location.path("/userPanel.html");      

OR use localStorage to store the data:

 localStorage.setItem('panelData', JSON.stringify(data));  $window.location.href = '../Kullanici/userPanel.html'; 

Data stored in a service will survive route changes (which destroy $scope). Data stored in localStorage will survive page changes (which destroy apps).


The code can be simplified

This will solve the problem of having the page wait for the data before changing the route.

Since the getMessages function makes an HTTP request it needs to be modified to return a promise:

$scope.getMessages = getMessages; function getMessages() {     return $http({         method: 'GET',         url: 'http://localhost:5169/api/chat/chatCek'     }).then(function successCallback(res) {         console.log("Mesajlar", res);         $scope.messages = res.data.error.data;         return res.data.error.data;     }, function errorCallback(res) {         console.log("Hata", res);         throw res;     }); } 

Then to delay the changing of the route until the getMessages data returns from the server, chain from the getMessages promise:

$http({     method: 'POST',     url: 'http://localhost:5169/api/Kullanicilar/KullaniciDogrula',     data: loginMember }).   then(function successCallback(response) {     console.log("message sent", response);     $scope.data = response.data.error.data;     if ($scope.data !== true) { throw "user error" };     //username and password is correct     console.log("User exists");     return userTaskList.showActiveTasks(userName); }).   then(function (activeTaskResponse) {     var activeTasks = activeTaskResponse;     console.log("Active tasks (controller): ", activeTaskResponse);     return userTaskList.showFinishedTasks(userName) }).   then(function (finishedTaskResponse) {     var finishedTasks = finishedTaskResponse;     console.log("Finished tasks(controller): ", finishedTaskResponse);     //CHAIN from getMessages promise     return $scope.getMessages(); }).   then(function(data) {     console.log(data);     //SAVE data before changing route     panelService.set(data);     $location.path( "/userPanel" );     //OR STORE data before changing app     //localStorage.setItem('panelData', JSON.stringify(data));                  //$window.location.href = '../Kullanici/userPanel.html'; }).   catch(function (response) {     console.log("Couldn't send", response);     throw response; });
