AngularJS and Spark Post request problem (The requested route has not been mapped in Spark)

[Mirco]

Hi there,

I'm a bit stuck and hopefully somebody can help. I'm trying to implement a simple CRUD application with Spark and AngularJS.

On the server side I've several endpoints set up like this:

post(API_CONTEXT + "/users,", "application/json", (Request request, Response response) -> {
    userService.createNewUser(request.body());
    response.status(201);
    return response;
}, new JsonTransformer());

get(API_CONTEXT + "/users/:id", "application/json", (Request request, Response response) -> {
    return userService.findById(request.params(":id"));
}, new JsonTransformer());

get(API_CONTEXT + "/users", "application/json", (Request request, Response response)
        -> userService.findAll(), new JsonTransformer());

put(API_CONTEXT + "/users/:id", "application/json", (Request request, Response response)
        -> userService.update(request.params(":id"), request.body()), new JsonTransformer());

Doing a get request from Angular works fine:

resourceProvider.User.query(function (data) {
  $scope.users = data;
});

But a post request as follows, always fails:

resourceProvider.User.save($scope.user, function(data) {
  console.log("user saved: " + angular.fromJson(data));
});

I would be grateful for any hints / help.

I would suggest to use postman extension on chrome to double check your API regardless of the client (angular).

Can you share the source code of a standalone app showing the issue? Both server and client: I might be able to help out.

Hi Christian,

that would be awesome.

I created a sample Spark application. See. https://github.com/m1rc0/Testing
It's stupid but the problem persists. I tried Postman and have the same results.

I'm somewhat embarrassed right now. But the "error" was simply a copy and paste failure on my side. I forgot an "," in my routes.

Nevertheless thank you very very much

Not an issue. "Shift" happens sometimes too.

I did not get to see your reply in time and you already removed the github repo.

Yet please note that in your small snippets in the original post, I can at least say it's not enough to write 'application/json' and use JsonTransformer to ensure true json output.

You need to have response.type("application/json") inside your routes.
