Hi R,
Perhaps you meant to use a service rather than a factory (i.e.
.service('faqlistService',[function(){ ...)
In your example, your factory doesn't return anything - i.e. it returns
undefined - which is why you are getting the undefined value in $scope.list
Here is a simple plnkr <http://plnkr.co/edit/89Sblk?p=preview> illustrating
the difference. Bottom line - a service is "new'd" when it is created, a
factory returns the object it creates.
Another good write up on the
differences:
