Synchronous call using angular js

Question

I would like to make a synchronous call to server using angular. Something similar to below jquery functionality.

var response = $.ajax(
        {
            type: "POST",
            url: "url",
            data: "data",
            async: false,
        }).responseText;

Thanks

Angular doesn't have any functions included which are synchronous. You'll have to write something custom with XHR or you'll have to just use a promise. Any reason why you can't use a promise? Angular does have a service called $q which can help you with promises. The default $http service returns a promise.
