AngularJS is new to me (and difficult). So I would like to learn how to debug. Currently I'm following a course and messed something up. Would like to know how to interpret the console error and solve the bug.
index.html
<head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.0.5/angular.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<script src="script.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="MainController">
<h1>{{message}}</h1>
{{ username }}
<form action="searchUser" ng-submit="search(username)">
<input type="search"
required placeholder="Username to find"
ng-model="username"/>
<input type="submit" value="search">
</form>
<div>
<p>Username found: {{user.name + error}}</p>
<img ng-src="http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/{{user.gravatar_id}}" title="{{user.name}}"/>
</div>
</body>
</html>
script.js
(function() {
var app = angular.module("githubViewer", []);
var MainController = function($scope, $http) {
var onUserComplete = function(response) {
$scope.user = response.data;
};
var onError = function(reason) {
$scope.error = "could not fetch data";
};
$scope.search = function(username) {
$http.get("https://api.github.com/users/" + username)
.then(onUserComplete, onError);
};
$scope.username = "angular";
$scope.message = "GitHub Viewer"; };
app.controller("MainController", MainController);
}());
The console only says
searchUser:1 GET http://run.plnkr.co/lZX5It1qGRq2JGHL/searchUser? 404 (Not Found)
Any help would be appreciated.
In your form,
actionyou have written this<form action="searchUser"What this does is it will try to submit to a url with currentHostName\searchUser, so in this case your are testing on plunker hence the plunker url.
You can change the url where the form is submitted. Incase you want to search ajax wise then you dont even need to specify the action part. You can let your service/factory make that call for you.
