Not pulling json data

ng-repeat was working correctly until I moved my array to a json file and wrote a service request as shown in the video. Please help.

angular.module("todoListApp", [])
.controller("mainCtrl",function($scope, dataService){


    dataService.getTodos(function(response){
        console.log(response.data);
        $scope.todos = response.data;

        });

})
.service('dataService', function($http){

    this.getTodos = function(callback){
        $http.get('mock/todos.json')
        .then(callback)
        };
});

Is this a specific treehouse challenge? Did you put it in the above directory and what are some of the errors you see in the console if any?

Cheers, Andi

Hi Andi, thanks for your reply, I messed up this question when I was asking it. The problem was that I couldn't reference the json file while it was static and not on a server, it had to be hosted for the .services directive to work... I appreciate all the help I have got through this. Its a good feeling when people are willing to help you :)
