I have a REST API that read/save data from a MongoDB database. The application I use retrieves a form and create an object (a job) from it, then save it to the DB. After the form, I have a button which click event triggers the saving function of my controller, then redirects to another url.
Once I click on the button, I am said that the job has well been added to the DB but the application is jammed and the redirection is never called. However, if I reload my application, I can see that the new "job" has well been added to the DB. What's wrong with this ??? Thanks !
Here is my code:
Sample html(jade) code:
button.btn.btn-large.btn-primary(type='submit', ng:click="save()") Create
Controller of the angular module:
function myJobOfferListCtrl($scope, $location, myJobs) {
$scope.save = function() {
var newJob = new myJobs($scope.job);
newJob.$save(function(err) {
if(err)
console.log('Impossible to create new job');
else {
console.log('Ready to redirect');
$location.path('/offers');
}
});
};
}
Configuration of the angular module:
var myApp = angular.module('appProfile', ['ngResource']);
myApp.factory('myJobs',['$resource', function($resource) {
return $resource('/api/allMyPostedJobs',
{},
{
save: {
method: 'POST'
}
});
}]);
The routing in my nodejs application :
app.post('/job', pass.ensureAuthenticated, jobOffers_routes.create);
And finally the controller of my REST API:
exports.create = function(req, res) {
var user = req.user;
var job = new Job({ user: user,
title: req.body.title,
description: req.body.description,
salary: req.body.salary,
dueDate: new Date(req.body.dueDate),
category: req.body.category});
job.save(function(err) {
if(err) {
console.log(err);
res.redirect('/home');
}
else {
console.log('New job for user: ' + user.username + " has been posted."); //<--- Message displayed in the log
//res.redirect('/offers'); //<---- triggered but never render
res.send(JSON.stringify(job));
}
});
};
