After spending several days analyzing this issue, I have come to the realization that my understanding of AngularJS is still new. Therefore, I am seeking assistance from the community here. The problem I am facing pertains to saving a new topic on a forum that I am currently developing: My controller
module.controller('newTopicController', ['$scope', '$http', 'dataService', function ($scope, $http, $window, dataService) {
$scope.newTopic = {};
$scope.save = function () {
dataService.addTopic($scope.newTopic)
.then(function () {
$window.location = "/#";
},
function () {
alert("couldnt save topic");
});
};
}]);
And my factory:
module.factory("dataService", function ($http, $q) {
var _topics = [];
var _isInit = false;
var _isReady = function () {
return _isInit;
};
var _getTopics = function () {
var deferred = $q.defer();
$http.get("/api/topics?withReplies=true")
.then(function (result) {
angular.copy(result.data, _topics);
_isInit = true;
deferred.resolve();
},
function () {
deferred.reject();
});
return deferred.promise;
};
var _addTopic = function (newTopic) {
var deferred = $q.defer();
$http.post("/api/topics", newTopic)
.then(function (result) {
var createdTopic = result.data;
_topics.splice(0, 0, createdTopic);
deferred.resolve(createdTopic);
},
function () {
deferred.reject();
});
return deferred.promise;
};
return {
topics: _topics,
getTopics: _getTopics,
addTopic: _addTopic,
isReady: _isReady
};
});
Upon attempting to add a topic to the forum, I encountered an error message stating "TypeError: Cannot read property 'addTopic' of undefined" in the controller, specifically where dataService.addTopic($scope.newTopic) is called.
I'm also utilizing another controller that interacts with the same factory, but it shouldn't be causing any issues, correct?
Thank you for your assistance.
