angular — accessing data of multiple http calls – how to resolve the promises

You can use $q’s function ‘all’:

function giftControler ($scope, $http, $q) {
  var names = $http.get("names.json"),
      naughty = $http.get("naughty.json"),
      nice = $http.get("nice.json");
  $q.all([names, naughty,nice]).then(function(arrayOfResults) { 
      ... This callback would be called when all promised would be resolved
    });

This way is little bit cleaner.
