AngularJS service for Star Wars API

An AngularJS service wrapping Stars Wars API (swapi.co), inspired by SWAPI-Wrapper by Raymond Camden.

The service is completly promise oriented and offers access to swapi.co from AngularJS applications.

The xyz.angular.swapi modules comes with one angular constant swapiEndpoints, used internally by the main service swapiService.

To use the service just import the module in your AngularJS application and inject the swapiService whre required.

In your javascript:

// include the module
angular.module('myStarWarsApp', ['xyz.angular.swapi']).

controller('jediController', ['swapiService', 
  function($scope, swapiService) {
    // get luke skywalker data
    swapiService.peope('1').
    then(function(lukeData){
      $scope.luke = lukeData;
    });
  }
])

Inside your view template:

<ul>
  <li>Name: {{luke.name}}</li>
  <li>Eyes color: {{luke.eye_color}}</li>
  <li>Skin color: {{luke.skin_color}}</li>
</ul>

Installation

The module can be installed from bower:

$ bower install xyz-angular-swapi --save

from npm:

$ npm install xyz-angular-swapi --save

or downloading directly the minified version.
