javascript - TypeError: Cannot read property 'get' of undefined

Question

$http.get('/contactList').
success(function(data){
    console.log('got http get');
}).
error(function(data) {
    $scope.error = true;
    $scope.data = data;
    return 'error name';
});

I have an error with just this section of code. I am trying to use the $http.get function with Angular JS. Am I doing something wrong?

I keep getting an error.

As other commenters said you should look at your controller declaration, you need to 'inject' the $http service:

angular.module('myApp')
.controller('messageController', ['$scope', '$http', function($scope, $http){
  $http.get()
  .success()
  .error();
}]);
