slow connection: Cannot read property '0' of undefined (scope.newFilm = scope.films[0]) #8
Description
on your code from video 33 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ob9E1-TFUBs) , if i throttle Chrome to 2G (450kb/s), an error gets thrown from nextfilm.directive.js
TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined
scope.newFilm = scope.films[0];
presumably then, this hasn't run from upcomingfilms.controller.js
$scope.films = allMovies;
is this an inherent issue to Angular? i wasn't sure why you have a 300ms timeout on functions. I assume it's related to everything running correctly in order.
is there a way to make one dependent on the other to avoid this error?
i console logged the various functions and it comes out like in this order, presumably meaning the nextfilm 300ms timeout is firing before the promise completes
MCU.directive.maincontent
MCU.directive.maincontent.link
MCU.directive:nextfilm
MCU.service:phasesService
MCU.controller:upcomingfilmsController
MCU.service:phasesService.getPhases
MCU.directive:nextfilm.link
MCU.directive.maincontent.link.timeout
MCU.directive:nextfilm.link.timeout // allMovies not set yet so errors...
TypeError: Cannot read property '0' of undefined
MCU.service:phasesService.getJson->deferred resolve
MCU.controller:upcomingfilmsController.promise.then
MCU.controller:upcomingfilmsController.allMoviesthanks

rather than put a timeout in the link function, this seems to work as an alternative to avoid the error
I'm pretty new to angular, so I'm not sure if this is the best approach
thanks
