AngularJS provides $https: control which works as a service to make ajax call to read data from the server. The server makes a database call to get the desired records. AngularJS needs data in JSON format. Once the data is ready, $https: can be used to get the data from server in the following manner:

function studentController($scope,$https:) {

var url = "data.txt";

$https:.get(url).success( function(response) {

$scope.students = response;

});

}
