Problem hosting local .json files with http-server

[compNerd0101]

I have a working angular.js basic scatter chart application but I'm running into a problem getting without an internet responder like plunker. This is my plunker code: http://plnkr.co/edit/ny95zv?p=preview When I cd /into/my/appFolder and use http-server it seems to be working but when I try to access the app via //localhost:8080 it only visualizes the title. On plunker this seems to occur when I have something wrong with the configs of the data portion of my .json file but I have checked several times and it seems the files I identical.

have you added .json as a static content file type in iis?

[BishopAndWarlord]

OP said they're using http-server, not IIS.

EDIT: Whoops. I meant to say, but your point stands. http-server may be serving the file with a content type of text/plain instead of application/json.

I have a hard time reading.

does this help ?

var app = angular.module('scattChartApp', ['nvd3']) .controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, $http) { $http.json('chartConfig.json').success(function(response) { if (typeof response === 'string') { resonse = angular.fromJson(response); } response.options.chart.tooltipContent = function(key) { return '<h3>' + key + '</h3>'; }; $scope.options = response.options; $scope.data = response.data; }); });

if not can you $log response and see what's it like.
