AngularJS connecting to Arrest-MySQL not working for PUT and POST

[roestigraben]

Hello,

Iam learning AngularJS and started to do an application (really more following a tutorial) that implements CRUD services. So, I have seen Arrest-MySQL and was happy to see a simple yet powerful REST API easy to use. The GET methods were uo and running quite quickly, as well as the DELETE operations. Then problems started with PUT. As PUT did not work, I tried to try with POST first, but here I got into problems.

Maybe somebody can give the fight hints on how to proceed. (I must say that I am not at all an expert in php)

In order to understand better, I did try to interface with the API with the help of a REST Console (Actually I tried with REST Console 4.0.2 and Simple Rest Console) Funnily, PUT was working great, but POST did not on both :-(

I past hereunder the network activity on PUT and POST. Several difference are notable The RequestURL, the PUT, the request payload are differnet to a certain extent.

MAny thanks for any help Peter

PUT coming from my AngularJS App. There is a response saying code 200: success, but the database is not updated.

Maybe you've abandoned this (it's been a while!) but as I'm facing similar issues, thought I'd mention one point: I believe it's useful to look at the actual JSON response returned, not just the HTTP response (which is 200 in your case above).

I get a 200, but looking at the content of the response, I get what's shown in the README.md, as:

{ "error": { "message": "No Content", "code": 204 } }

I'm no PHP guru myself, but am trying to figure out what's going wrong... no break-through so far though!

Sorry - just saw the discussion at the end of #1 where you seem to have found the cause of the problem

Hi Neil,

Hi Peter,

If you could give details that would be really helpful - of course, only when it suits and things are less busy for you!

Many thanks, Neil

PUT and POST are different from GET and DELETE as they move actual data from the application to the database. AngularJS and jQuery Ajax are different in that AngularJS uses JSON dataformat while jQuery uses like the concatenation of the key=value pairs as id=33&title=myTitle&.......

For those two methods I finally use the $http service rather than $resource.

I also force the headers to be specifically like below headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'}

the code to add a new record is then

var CreateCtrl = function ($scope, $location, $http, Todo) { $scope.save = function(){ // use a variable dataConstruct to construct the payload var dataConstruct = ('name=' + $scope.item.name + '&provider=' + $scope.item.provider + '&technology=' + $scope.item.technology); //console.log(dataConstruct); $http({method: 'POST', url: 'api/allIP', data: dataConstruct, headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'} }). success(function(data, status) { $scope.status = status; $scope.data = data; $location.path('/'); }). error(function(data, status) { $scope.data = data || "Request failed"; $scope.status = status; }); }; };

I hope this brings you one step forward
