How to update controller variable in service angularJS

Question

This is my controller.

sampleApp.controller('SupplierController', ['$scope', '$http', 'SupplierService', function ($scope, $http, SupplierService){

    $scope.Suppliers = [];

    $scope.getSuppliers = function() {
        SupplierService.getSuppliers().then(function(data) {
            $scope.Suppliers = data;
        });
    };

    $scope.editSupplier = function(supplier) {
        SupplierService.editSupplier(supplier);
        editMode = false;
    };

    $scope.getSuppliers();

}]);

This is my service.

sampleApp.factory('SupplierService', function($http, $q) {

    var SupplierService =  {};
    var SupplierList = [];

    SupplierService.getSuppliers = function() {

        var Info = {};
        Info.Action = "GET";
        Info = JSON.stringify (Info);

        var req = {
        url: SupplierURL,
        method: 'POST',
        headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
        data: Info
        };

        if ( SupplierList.length === 0 )
        {
            return $http(req).then(function (response) {
                SupplierList = response.data
                return response.data;
            });
        }
        else
        {
           var deferred = $q.defer();
           deferred.resolve(SupplierList);
           return deferred.promise;
        }
    };


    SupplierService.addNewSupplier = function(supplier)  {
        var Info = {};
        Info.Action = "ADD";
        Info.SupplierName = supplier.name;
        Info.SupplierMobile = supplier.mobile;
        Info = JSON.stringify (Info);

        var req = {
            url: SupplierURL,
            method: 'POST',
            headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
            data: Info
        };

        $http(req)
        .success(function(data) {
            alert ('Supplier update is successful.');
        })  
        .error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
            alert ('Supplier update error.');
        });
    };      
    SupplierService.editSupplier = function(supplier)  {
        var Info = {};
        Info.Action = "UPDATE";
        Info.SupplierID = supplier.id;
        Info.SupplierName = supplier.name;
        Info.SupplierMobile = supplier.mobile;
        Info = JSON.stringify (Info);

        var req = {
            url: SupplierURL,
            method: 'POST',
            headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
            data: Info
        };

        $http(req)
        .success(function(data) {
            alert ('Supplier update is successful.');
        })
        .error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
            alert ('Supplier update error.');
        });
    };

    return SupplierService;
});

What i want is, only when http call for editSupplier is successful then only i want this line to be executed.

editMode = false;

Currently above line is in $scope.editSupplier function. so irrespective of success or failure it is getting called. How to move this line to service??

Any better approach will be highly appreciated.

The easiest way, based on your current setup, would be to return $http(req) (as that is a promise). So the end of editSupplier would say:

return $http(req);

And in your controller, you could do:

SupplierService.editSupplier(supplier).success(function(response) {
  editMode = false;
});

You could additionally chain the .error handler if you have something specific to do in the case of an error.

@tandrewnichols stole my initial answer so I'll offer the alternative.:p

Move editMode into the service and use a getter to check the value of editMode. Also, are you intending to make editMode a global variable in your application?
