injecting $http into angular “usestrict” service

Question

I'm trying to inject $http into my angular service, which is called from my controller to populate data from our API. I continue to hit this error:

Error: [$injector:strictdi] Infoservice is not using explicit annotation and cannot be invoked in strict mode http://errors.angularjs.org/1.5.7/ $injector/strictdi?p0=Infoservice

below is the service which is defined as strict. How can I properly inject $http?

The service must remain strict.

 'use strict'; angular.module('bitsGantt') .service('Infoservice', function Infoservice($http) { return { getSampleData: function() { // $http({ // method: 'GET', // URL: // }) return [ // Order is optional. If not specified it will be assigned automatically {name: 'Milestones', height: '3em', sortable: false, drawTask: false, classes: 'gantt-row-milestone', color: '#45607D', tasks: [ // Dates can be specified as string, timestamp or javascript date object.

Answer 1

Try wrapping your function inside an array, and declare $http as the first element of that array, so it looks like this:

'use strict';

angular.module('bitsGantt')
    .service('Infoservice', ['$http', function Infoservice($http) {
        return {
            getSampleData: function() {
                // $http({
                //  method: 'GET',
                //  URL: 
                // })
                return [
                        // Order is optional. If not specified it will be assigned automatically
                        {name: 'Milestones', height: '3em', sortable: false, drawTask: false, classes: 'gantt-row-milestone', color: '#45607D', tasks: [
