An ajax service free of all the angular http hassles (implements promises jquery style)

gistfile1.js

$provide.factory('$ajax', function ($rootScope) {
    return function (options, callbacks, ctx) {

      if(typeof(callbacks) === 'function') {
        callbacks = { success: callbacks, error: function (data) { console.log(data) } };
      }

      options.success = function (data) { 
        ctx ? callbacks.success.call(ctx, data) : callbacks.success(data);
        $rootScope.$digest();
      };

      options.error = function (res) {
        console.log(res);
        var data = JSON.parse(res.responseText);
        //console.log(data, res);
        ctx ? callbacks.error.call(ctx, data) : callbacks.error(data);

        if(res.status === 403 || res.status === 401) {
          $rootScope.$broadcast('auth-failed');
        }
      };

      options.data = options.data || {};
      options.type = options.type || 'GET';
      options.dataType = options.dataType || 'json';

      return jQuery.ajax(options);
    };
  });
