So I keep getting this ReferenceError: $http is not defined, even though I have included $http in the controller, which seems to be the most common cause of this error message. I've tried also passing $http into the function itself, but that doesn't solve it.
I feel like I am missing something SUPER obvious, so any help would be much appreciated, thank you!
I've included the entire script, just for clarity's sake. You can see the post request towards the end of the script, inside the finaliseDay function.
Thanks!
Here is the error:

Here is the HTML first

And here is the JS:
//Goalzy.js
angular.module('goalzy', [])
.config(['$httpProvider', function($httpProvider) {
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.post['Content-Type'] = 'application/json; charset=utf-8';
});
.controller('TodoController', ['$scope','$http', function($scope, $http) {
$scope.todos = [];
$scope.historicalDailyPercentages = [];
$scope.addTodo = function() {
if ($scope.todoText != "") {
if ($scope.todos.length < 3) {
$scope.todos.push({text:$scope.todoText, done:false});
$scope.todoText = '';
//Save to DB
}
else {
alert("You can only have 3 todos per day!");
$scope.todoText = '';
}
} else {
alert("you must write something");
}
};
$scope.remaining = function() {
var count = 0;
angular.forEach($scope.todos, function(todo) {
count += todo.done ? 0 : 1;
});
return count;
};
$scope.percentComplete = function() {
var countCompleted = 0;
angular.forEach($scope.todos, function(todo) {
countCompleted += todo.done ? 1 : 0; //Simply calculates how many tasks have been completed
console.log(countCompleted);
});
var totalCount = $scope.todos.length;
var percentComplete = countCompleted / totalCount * 100;
return percentComplete;
}
$scope.finaliseDay = function(percentComplete) {
alert("You're finalising this day with a percentage of: " + percentComplete);
var today = new Date();
var alreadyPresent = $scope.historicalDailyPercentages.some(function (item) {
return item.date.getFullYear() === today.getFullYear() &&
item.date.getMonth() === today.getMonth() &&
item.date.getDate() === today.getDate();
});
//Confirm that nothing has alreayd been posted for today
if (!alreadyPresent) {
$scope.historicalDailyPercentages.push({
percent: percentComplete,
date: today
});
// Simple POST request example (passing data) :
$http.post('/api/postDailyPercentage.php', {msg:'hello word!'}).
success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
// this callback will be called asynchronously
// when the response is available
console.log("data" + data);
}).
error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
// called asynchronously if an error occurs
// or server returns response with an error status.
console.log("data" + data);
});
}
else {
alert("You're all set for today - see you tomorrow!");
}
console.log($scope.historicalDailyPercentages);
}
}]);
Provider won't be available inside controller with suffix 'Provider', you can do access them by provider name only here it would be $http only, also remove ;
after config initialization
$httpProvider setting should be done inside the angular config phase
CODE
angular.module('goalzy', [])
.config(['$httpProvider', function($httpProvider) {
$httpProvider.defaults.headers.post['Content-Type'] = 'application/json; charset=utf-8';
}]);
.controller('TodoController', ['$scope', '$http', function($scope, $http) {
//controller code here
}]);
Note: For sure you should remove $httpProvider.defaults.headers.post['Content-Type'] = 'application/json; charset=utf-8'; line from controller
