javascript - How to submit a sucessful post request using the MEAN stack? -

ok, i'm using yeoman scaffold project. in end want learn scaffold crud. i'm getting stuck on post request. i've picked angular-fullstack generator because i'm comfortable normal angular-generator.

my post request attempts being hulled 400 error while trying submit new object things collection. i'm pretty lost, need see completed code of post request using folder structure.

update: 400 error gone however, req.body.

update2: working answers both in code , answer.

so, using angular-fullstack generator of yeoman, how make post request create awesomething in thing collection of mongo db.

i'm surely missing think of pieces needed make post request successful presented below. direction appreciated.

app/views/partials/main.html

<div class="row marketing">   <div ng-repeat="thing in awesomethings">       <h4>{{thing.name}}</h4>       <p>{{thing.info}}</p>   </div> </div>     <form ng-submit="addawesome()">         <input type="text" ng-model="tempawesome.name">         <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="add"> </form> 

app/scripts/controllers/main.html

$scope.name = []; $http.get('/api/awesomethings').success(function(awesomethings) {       $scope.awesomethings = awesomethings;     }); $scope.addawesome = function() {       $http.post('/api/awesomethings', $scope.tempawesome).success(function(postdata) {         $scope.awesomethings = postdata;        }).error(function(postdata, status){           console.log(postdata);           $scope.status = status;           console.log(status);       });      }; 

lib/routes.js

  app.route('/api/awesomethings')     .get(api.awesomethings)     .post(api.create); 

lib/controllers/api.js

mongoose.model('thing', thingschema);    exports.create = function (req, res) {    var awesomething = new thing(req.body);   awesomething.save(function(err) {      if (err) return res.json(400, err);    });   }; 

lib/models/thing.js

var thingschema = new schema({   name: string,   info: string,   awesomeness: number }); 

i have hunch mongoose blocking because submission isnt matching schema? ? other thoughts?

edit

ok 1 last suggestion based on looking @ other code have. try post instead

$http.post('/api/awesomethings' { name : $scope.name }) 

edit based on code change

change ng-model in form to.

<input type="text" ng-model="name"> 

i think line failing

var awesomething = new thing(req.body); 

what think happening sending object looks in body

{ tempthing: "sometext" } 

when mongoose tries create object dosen't have property called tempthing bails out. can overridden setting {strict:false} on schema if but, if intention set name form start change tempthing name.

old answer

i think /lib/routes.js has typo. have ';' after .get(api.awesomethings)

that's causing .post(api.awesomethings) ignored. remove semicolon , start working.
