http post with json file and nested array Angularjs

Question

I have an app that has the ability to get and post through http with a model of a relational database. I am able to display my data and the JSON data looks like this on http://localhost/**/api/complaint:

{
"CHECKLISTs": [{
    "COMP_ID": 1,
    "IntOIMRec": "No"
}],
"COMP_ID": 1,
"FileNum": "case1"
}

using angular:

<tr data-ng-repeat="complaint in complaints">
<td><strong data-ng-hide="complaint.editMode">{{ complaint.FileNum }}</strong></td>
<td>
<p data-ng-hide="complaint.editMode">{{ complaint.CHECKLISTs[0].IntIAB}}</p>
<input data-ng-show="complaint.editMode" type="text" data-ng-model="customer.Status" />
</tr>

I am also able to http post with this controller:

//Insert complaint
$scope.add = function () {
    $scope.loading = true;
    $http.post('/api/Complaint/', this.newcomplaint).success(function (data) {
        alert("Added Successfully!!");
        $scope.addMode = false;
        $scope.complaints.push(data);
        $scope.loading = false;
    }).error(function (data) {
        $scope.error = "An Error has occured while Adding complaint! " + data;
        $scope.loading = false;
    });
};

But when I add the Checklists[0] to my form to add it, it will not add a new record. My code for the form to add a new record looiks like this:

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-12">
        <strong class="error">{{ error }}</strong>
        <p data-ng-hide="addMode"><a data-ng-click="toggleAdd()" href="javascript:;" class="btn btn-primary">Add New</a></p>
        <form name="addComplant" data-ng-show="addMode" style="width:600px;margin:0px auto;">
            <div class="form-group">
                <label for="cid" class="col-sm-2 control-label">ID:</label>
                <div class="col-sm-10">
                    <input type="text" class="form-control" id="cid" placeholder="please enter id" data-ng-model="newcomplaint.FileNum" required />
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="form-group">
                <label for="cname" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Name:</label>
                <div class="col-sm-10">
                    <input type="text" class="form-control" id="cname" placeholder="please enter your name" data-ng-model="newcomplaint.CHECKLISTs[0].IntIAB" />
                </div>
            </div>

            <br />
            <div class="form-group">
                <div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
                    <input type="submit" value="Add" data-ng-click="add()" class="btn btn-primary" />
                    <input type="button" value="Cancel" data-ng-click="toggleAdd()" class="btn btn-primary" />
                </div>
            </div>
            <br />
        </form>
    </div>
</div>

my console.log output:

console.log

Can someone tell me if I can display it using angular http.get and http.post, why can't I add into checklists field when it is clearly in the JSON file and it displays just fine? The error i get is [object object] ?

Thank you

Answer 1

Just by looking at your code, it seems that you're pushing into $scope.complaints, instead of $scope.complaint.CHECKLISTs

Do you have an ng-repeat somewhere?

Answer 2

Change $scope.complaints.push(data); to $scope.newcomplaint = data. Or if complaints really should be an array, then you need an ng-repeat on your form
