How to simply return a pre-resolved promise in AngularJS

Resolved promise:

return $q.when( someValue );    // angularjs 1.2+
return $q.resolve( someValue ); // angularjs 1.4+, alias to `when` to match ES6

Rejected promise:

return $q.reject( someValue );

Here s the correct code for your service   myApp service  userService         http     q     rootScope     location   function  http   q   rootScope   location         var user           access  false             var me   this       this initialized   false      this isAuthenticated   function            var deferred    q defer          user             first name   First           last name   Last           email   email address com           access   institution                 deferred resolve user         me initialized   true         return deferred promise                   Then you controller should align accordingly   myApp run       rootScope    userService   function  rootScope  userService        return userService isAuthenticated   then function user          if  user               You have access to the object you passed in the service  not to the response             You should either put response data on the user or use a different property          return  rootScope  broadcast  login   user email             else           return userService logout                              Few points to note about the service    Expose in a service only what needs to be exposed  User should be kept internally and be accessed by getters only  When in functions  use  me  which is the service to avoid edge cases of this with javascript  I guessed what initialized was meant to do  feel free to correct me if I guessed wrong

For shorter JavaScript-Code use this   myApp service  userService         q   function  q        this initialized    q when        this user           access  false            this isAuthenticated   function           this user             first name   First           last name   Last           email   email address com           access   institution                 return this initialized                   You know that you loose the binding to userService user by overwriting it with a new object instead of setting only the objects properties   Here is what I mean as a example of my plnkr co example code  Working example  http   plnkr co edit zXVcmRKT1TmiBCDL4GsC p preview    angular module  myApp       service  userService           http     q     rootScope     location   function   http   q   rootScope   location        this initialized    q when null       this user             access  false            this isAuthenticated   function              this user first name    First           this user last name    Last           this user email    email address com           this user access    institution           return this initialized               angular module  myApp   controller  myCtrl      scope    userService   function   scope  userService         scope user   userService user       scope callUserService   function              userService isAuthenticated   then function                   scope thencalled   true
