retrieve json data using GET in angularjs - json

Question

I've got some data stored in a nosql database that I'm able to see in when accessing localhost:3000/countries.
I'm trying to use this factory in order to get the data which is in json.
.factory('countries', ['$http', '$q',
function($http, $q) {
var countries = {
get: function() {
return $q(function(resolve, reject) {
$http({
method: 'GET',
url: '/countries'
}).then(function(response) {
resolve(response.data);
}, function(error) {
reject(error);
});
});
};
return countries;
}
]);
And then I'm attempting to use this controller to send that data to the appropriate url to be displayed but it isn't working as I expected it to.
.controller('CountriesCtrl', function($scope, countries) {
console.log(countries);
countries.get(function(countries) {
$scope.countries = countries;
});
})
Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!

This is what I use currently in my project that uses Mongodb
cmsApp.factory("tasks", ["$resource", function($resource) {
return $resource("/tasks/", {}, {
save: {
method: 'POST',
isArray: true
},
'delete': {
method: 'DELETE',
isArray: true
}
});
}]);
Then in the Controller(make sure to inject it to controller!):
$scope.tasks = tasks.query();
.query() selects all of the data while .get() gets on by Id

You should inject your factory into your controller, something like this:
.controller('CountriesCtrl', function($scope, devices) {
console.log(countries);
countries.get(function(data) {
$scope.data = data;
});
})

You should inject service 'devices' instead of it's internal variable 'countries'.
.controller('CountriesCtrl', function($scope, devices) {
console.log(devices);
devices.get().then(function(countries) {
$scope.countries = countries;
});
});
