I’ve recently been working on implementing an IHttpService that can work outside of a MonoBehaviour and call out to web services asynchronously. Rather than providing my IHttpService.JsonPost method with callbacks I decided to have it return a Promise, the code for which I took from this Real Serious Games GitHub repository.

The directive ng-bind will escape HTML to avoid data acting maliciously. If you want to output html you need to use ng-bind-html <div ng-bind-html=”someHtmlBody”/> The important step to getting this working is to ensure the script angular-sanitize.js is referenced on your page, and it is specified as a dependency when creating a module…. var app …
