My awesome rest services with promises written in plain old JS.

Rest.js

angular.module('AppName').service('Rest', function($http, $q, $httpParamSerializer){
    this.get(rUrl, rParams) {
		if (!rParams) {
			rParams = false;
		} else {
			rParams = this.$httpParamSerializer(rParams);
		}
		var deferred = this.$q.defer();
		this.$http.get(rUrl, rParams, {
			headers: {
				'Content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8'
			}
		})
		.success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
			deferred.resolve(data);
		})
		.error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
			console.log('Failed to Get Data from: ' + rUrl);
		});
		
		return deferred.promise;
	}

	this.post(rUrl, rParams) {
		if (!rParams) {
			rParams = false;
		} else {
			rParams = this.$httpParamSerializer(rParams);
		}
		var deferred = this.$q.defer();
		this.$http.post(rUrl, rParams, {
			headers: {
				'Content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=utf-8'
			}
		})
		.success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
			deferred.resolve(data);
		})
		.error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
			console.log('Failed to Get Data from: ' + rUrl);
		});

		return deferred.promise;
	}
});

// HOW TO USE
// 1. Inject dependency into controller
// 2. Call Rest.get() or Rest.post()
//    a. First param is the URL to send request
//    b. Second param is the Data to send in the request
// 3. Call .then to get response
//  
// EXAMPLE
// app.controller('HomeController', function(Rest){
//     Rest.get('http://google.com').then(function(response){
//         console.log(response); // This will be the HTML for Google
//     });
//     Rest.post('http://google.com', {'param1':'test'}).then(function(response){
//         console.log(response);
//     });
// });
