Notify when unread mail through office 365 app(ionic mobile app)

Question

I am creating an ionic mobile application which will notify the user of the app when they have some unread mail from their office 365 account. I have spent hours on this piece of code trying to figure out where it is going wrong. if anyone can find a reason why this piece of code isn't working, that would be much appreciated. Thank you.

(function () {
'use strict';

angular.module('app365').controller('homeCtrl', ['$scope', '$stateParams', '$ionicLoading', '$ionicPopup', 'app365api', homeCtrl]);

function homeCtrl($scope, $stateParams, $ionicLoading, $ionicPopup, app365api) {
    var vm = this;
    var outlookClient;

    // Get mail list.
    function getMails() {
        var filterQuery = '';

        // Get all mails flagged as important.
        if (typeof $stateParams.important != 'undefined') {
            getImpMails();
            return;
        }

        // Get all unread mails.
        if (typeof $stateParams.unread != 'undefined') {
            filterQuery = 'IsRead eq false';
        }

        NProgress.start();
        // Fetch Inbox folder
        outlookClient.me.folders.getFolder("Inbox").messages.getMessages().filter(filterQuery).fetch()
            .then(function (mails) {
                // Get current page. Use getNextPage() to fetch next set of mails.
                vm.mails = mails.currentPage;
                $scope.$apply();
                NProgress.done();
            });
    };
    if ($scope.result() == null) {
        null;
    } else {
        $ionicPlatform.ready(function () {

            $ionicPopup.confirm({
                title: "You have unread mail",
            })
            .then(function (result) {
                if (!result) {
                    ionic.Platform.exitApp();
                }
            });
        }

    )
    }
}
}

)

Error: [ng:areq] Argument 'homeCtrl' is not a function, got undefined

This is the error I receive even though homeCtrl is a function and had already been referenced.

You are missing the () at very end that invoke your IIFE. Therefore the controller is not being registered since the function never runs.

Change

(function() {
    'use strict';

    angular.module('app365').controller('homeCtrl', ['$scope', '$stateParams', '$ionicLoading', '$ionicPopup', 'app365api', homeCtrl]);

    function homeCtrl($scope, $stateParams, $ionicLoading, $ionicPopup, app365api) {
      // code removed for clarity

    }
  }
)

To

(function() {
    'use strict';

    angular.module('app365').controller('homeCtrl', ['$scope', '$stateParams', '$ionicLoading', '$ionicPopup', 'app365api', homeCtrl]);

    function homeCtrl($scope, $stateParams, $ionicLoading, $ionicPopup, app365api) {
      // code removed for clarity

    }
})();
//^^ missing braces

Thank you, this has now gotten past the error. Next step is trying to get this to work — Caolán McKeown, Mar 14 '16 at 11:59
