Paginator module for AngularJS, in combination with Laravel's paginator class

paginator.js

/**
 * Paginator
 * 
 * The paginator can be used within any controller to easily set up
 * some pagination options, including number of pages, page navigation
 * and more. It is built to work with Laravel's own pagination library,
 * which returns data in a particular format.
 *
 * Usage:
 * Before you can use paginator, make sure you specify the URLs to your pagination 
 * templates, like so. In this example, I will assume that App is your angular application instance:
 * 
 * App.value('paginator.config', {
 *     templates: {
 *	       info: '/partials/pagination/info.html',
 *         pagination: '/partials/pagination/pagination.html'
 *     }
 * });
 *
 * Example:
 * Inside your controller, add the following.  The first argument is your scope variable.
 * Second argument is the name of the service/module you'll be using to fetch the data. Third
 * is the name of the $scope.params.property that you want to store the data on, and 4th is the callback
 * method, if needed, for doing data transformations.
 *
 *  Paginate($scope, Category, 'categories');
 *
 * @param object $scope
 * @param object Service - The Service to use. This could be the actual service (Such as User, in which
 *                         case Paginator will assume the method "get"), or a custom method for the service,
 *                         such as User.retrieve.
 * @param string records - Name of the records variable to set the data to on $scope
 * @param function callback - For when the paginator makes queries,
 *		can allow the developer to customize the data's format
