Get Data From Laravel Route with Angularjs

I am trying to get the data from my laravel Route with Angular

URL: http://test.dev/todos/show/141

    Route::get('todos/show/{id?}', function($id=null)
      {
         $users = DB::table('customers')->where('id', $id)->get();
         return $users;});

Angular 

     <script type="">
            function SimpleController($scope, $http)  {
                $http.get('/todos/show/{id}').success(function(data){
                $scope.customers = data;
            })} 
     </script>


     <div class="container">
    <h3>Adding a Simple Controller</h3>
    <ul>
        <li ng-repeat="cust in customers | filter:name ">
            @{{ cust.customerName }} - @{{ cust.customerNumber }}
        </li>

I get nothing back, unless I manually add the id 141 to to my query ->where('id', 141). Could someone please tell me a method I could user to do this? Do I have to use $resource? Thanks

Hi Isaiah,

You have a couple of issues to solve before your request will work and they are as follows.

  1. In your ajax request you're not passing a valid id, instead you just have {id} which will be parsed as a string
  2. Your request isn't returning a JSON response which is the most common data type to return from a request

JavaScript

// You need to pass the id here so that your backend request handler can remain dynamic
$http.get('/todos/show/141').success(function(data) {
  $scope.customers = data;
});

PHP

<?php

Route::get('todos/show/{id?}', function($id = null)
{
  $users = DB::table('customers')->where('id', $id)->get();
  return json_encode($users);
});

Hope that helps.
