Angular with WP API

I wanted to be able to use the WP API to show my latest posts on an external site, and here’s how I did it using Angular. You need:

A WordPress site with the latest version of the WP API Plugin (I am using 2.0 Beta 4.0) from Github (use develop branch)
A copy of Angular

html:

  Latest 10 Posts from big-andy.co.uk

js:

var app = angular.module('app', []);

// filter to convert html to trusted html.
app.filter('to_trusted', ['$sce', function($sce){
  return function(text) {
    return $sce.trustAsHtml(text);
  };
}]);

// Add a controller
app.controller( 'AppCtrl', ['$scope', '$http', function( $scope, $http ) {
  // Load posts from the WordPress API
  $http({
    cache: true,
    method: 'GET',
    url: 'https://big-andy.co.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/posts',
    params: {
      'filter[posts_per_page]' : 10
    },
  }).
  success( function( data, status, headers, config ) {
    $scope.posts = data;
  });
}]);
