Trying to figure out how to post input data with Angular, but struggling to extract the data from the input fields.
Below is the HTML code:
<div ng-controller="Test">
<div class="container">
<div class="col-sm-9 col-sm-offset-2">
<div class="page-header"><h1>Testing</h1></div>
<form name="userForm" ng-submit="submitForm(userForm.$valid)" novalidate> <!-- novalidate prevents HTML5 validation since we will be validating ourselves -->
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{'has-error' : userForm.name.$invalid && !userForm.name.$pristine, 'has-success' : userForm.name.$valid }">
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" class="form-control" ng-model="name" required>
<p ng-show="userForm.name.$invalid && !userForm.name.$pristine" class="help-block">Invalid name</p>
</div>
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{'has-error' : userForm.username.$invalid && !userForm.username.$pristine, 'has-success' : userForm.username.$valid && !userForm.username.$pristine}">
<label>Username</label>
<input type="text" name="username" class="form-control" ng-model="user.username" ng-minlength="3" ng-maxlength="8">
<p ng-show="userForm.username.$error.minlength" class="help-block">Too short</p>
<p ng-show="userForm.username.$error.maxlength" class="help-block">Too long</p>
</div>
<div class="form-group" ng-class="{'has-error' : userForm.email.$invalid && !userForm.email.$pristine, 'has-success' : userForm.email.$valid && !userForm.email.$pristine}">
<label>Email</label>
<input type="email" name="email" class="form-control" ng-model="email">
<p ng-show="userForm.email.$invalid && !userForm.email.$pristine" class="help-block">Enter a valid email</p>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Add</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is the controller snippet:
as.controller('Test', function($scope, $http, $rootScope)
{
$scope.submitForm = function(isValid) {
if(isValid)
{
$http.post($rootScope.appUrl + '/nao/test', {"data": $scope.userForm})
.success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
console.log(data);
}).error(function(data, status) {
});
}
};
});
After clicking the button, a POST request is sent, but the data being transmitted appears as follows:
{"data":{"name":{},"username":{},"email":{}}}
How can I retrieve the data from all input fields? Should I reference userForm in the controller as I currently do?
