parseHttpError

Simple function that you can use on $http.error() function callbacks to parse any errors into a consistent object that has a consistent structure with a message, isCallbackError and status property.

The function will attempt to deserialize any JSON content in the message and look for a message or Message property to assign to the message parameter.

ww.angular.parseHttpError(args)

Return Value

Error object with this structure:

{ 
    message: "",  
    isCallbackError: true, // identifier
    status: 500,           // http error code
}

Parameters

args
The args collection that was passed to the $http.error() function. Typically this means you pass arguments to the function.

Remarks

You can use this function as part of an $http callback:

return $http.get(service.baseUrl + "albums/")
    .success(function(data) {
        service.albums = data;
    })
    .error(function() {
        var error = ww.angular.parseHttpError(arguments);
                    
        // assign to model or whatever else you need to do
        vm.error.message = error.message;
        vm.error.icon = "warning";
});

and you should always be guaranteed to get a message property back regardless of what type of Http error occurred (including connection errors).
