Jason - I am now using Restangular and like it so far. It didn't resolve my issue but it does offer a way better experience when communicating with my API.
Eric - Yes the issue was because my controller was resolving before the API call came back. I ended up integrating a really good solution I found on Stackoverflow. I am using Django as my backend framework with Django Rest Framework. This solution allows for me to create groups in Django and utilize those groups as roles inside my site. So far it is working extremely well. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22537311/angular-ui-router-login-authentication On Saturday, June 21, 2014 3:28:40 PM UTC-6, Jason Girdner wrote: > > Ok I am beating my head into the wall trying to figure out why my service > is returning a undefined value on page load.
