While following the MEAN Stack tutorial on this website, I decided to modify my code to utilize Controller as instead of using $scope as demonstrated in their examples.
I am encountering an issue with the upvote functionality. Whenever I click to upvote a post, the number of upvotes does not increase, and I'm unsure of what might be causing this problem.
Could anyone provide assistance in resolving this issue? Below is the code snippet for reference:
index.html
<html>
<head>
<title>My Angular App!</title>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.10/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-app="flapperNews" ng-controller="MainCtrl as main">
<div ng-repeat="post in main.posts | orderBy: '-upvotes'">
<span ng-click="incrementUpvotes(post)">^</span>
{{ post.title }} - upvotes: {{ post.upvotes }}
</div>
<form ng-submit="main.addPost()">
<input type="text" ng-model="main.title"></input>
<button type="submit">Add Post</button>
</form>
</body>
</html>
app.js
/*global angular*/
/*jslint white:true*/
angular
.module('flapperNews', [])
.controller('MainCtrl', function(){
'use strict';
var main = this;
main.posts = [
{title: 'post 1', upvotes: 5},
{title: 'post 2', upvotes: 2},
{title: 'post 3', upvotes: 15},
{title: 'post 4', upvotes: 9},
{title: 'post 5', upvotes: 4}
];
main.addPost = function(){
if(!main.title || main.title === '') {return;}
main.posts.push({title: main.title, upvotes: 0});
main.title = '';
};
main.incrementUpvotes = function(post) {
post.upvotes += 1;
};
});
