.success removed in Angular 1.6 - breaks oauth-ng

[jwmapana]

You get this error:

$http.get(...).success is not a function

Alfsig fixed this in the PR #145 , but it seems that nobody cares.

[jwmapana]

I care! Sorry I didn't see this.

[salcedogeiner]

how i can update this fixed???

[afredericks]

Was this ever fixed?

[jwmapana]

Luwangel says yes. It's been a while. I ended up going a different path with oauth.

[afredericks]

@jwmapana -- what path did you end up taking? I am trying to get oauth working with an angularjs client, I tried using this library but there seems to be too many issues with the latest version of angularjs.

I found a nice workable answer here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18218293/angularjs-oauth/23490076

It's the solution that starts with "Here is a simple example using just redirects with angular js".

My login page has a controller with the login button tied to this function:

$scope.login_oauth2 = function() {

  var absolute_url = $location.absUrl();
  // I like to use a globalFactory that is included in every controller instead of touching $rootScope, for the most part:
  globalFactory.redirect_uri = absolute_url.replace('/#/login', ''); 
  var url_split1 = absolute_url.split('//');
  var url_split2 = url_split1[1].split('/');
  var url_split3 = url_split2[0];

	var scope="email";
	var redirect_uri=globalFactory.redirect_uri;
	var response_type="token";
	var url = "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth?scope=" + scope + "&client_id=" + client_id + "&redirect_uri=" + redirect_uri + "&response_type=" + response_type;
  // console.log('redirect url: ', url);
	window.location.replace(url); //this is where it goes to google oauth and gets the accessToken
};

====================
I retrieve the accessToken by creating a controller with no view in a controller called 'accessToken'

app.controller('accessToken', function ($location,$rootScope,globalFactory) {
var hash, splitted, params, param, key, value, authorized;

hash = $location.path().substr(1);

splitted = hash.split('&');
params = {};

for (var i = 0; i < splitted.length; i++) {
param = splitted[i].split('=');
key = param[0];
value = param[1];
params[key] = value;
$rootScope.accesstoken=params;
}

$location.path("/login"); //this can go to any route you want of course

});

and then put in a route like this, so when the site returns from google with a token, it processes it in the accessToken route:
$routeProvider
.when('/access_token=:accessToken', { //of course this is just one of the routes...
template: '',
controller: 'accessToken'
})

What happens is, your login view and controller sends the user to google oauth, they authenticate, and google oauth returns to your site with the access token, so your router takes you to this controller, which parses out the results. You can do pretty much whatever you want with it from there. I hope that helps.
