Can't post to mongo/express api - angularjs

Question

I'm trying to add to my mongodb database through my angular 2 frontend but It doesn't seem that the post is going through. I use morgan to log all requests and it shows nothing, then I don't see anything in my database.
my api route:
// add venue
router.post('/add_venue', (req, res, next) => {
let newVenue = new Venue({
_id: req.body._id,
name: req.body.name,
street: req.body.street,
city: req.body.city,
state:req.body.state,
zipcode:req.body.zipcode,
busy:req.body.busy
});
Venue.addVenue(newVenue, (err, venue) => {
if(err){
res.json({success: false, msg:'Failed to add venue'});
} else {
res.json({success: true, msg:'User registered'});
}
});
});
router.get('/venue/:id', (req, res, next) =>{
let venueID = req.params.id;
Venue.findById(venueID, (err, user) => {
if(err) throw err;
if(!venueID){
return res.json({success: false, msg: 'Venue not found'});
}
I haven't tried the get request yet. Here my model:
const mongoose = require('mongoose');
const bcrypt = require('bcryptjs');
const config = require('../config/database');
const VenueSchema = mongoose.Schema({
_id:{
type:String,
required:true
},
name:{
type:String,
required:true
},
street:{
type:String,
required:true
},
city:{
type:String,
required:true
},
state:{
type:String,
required:true
},
zipcode:{
type:String,
required:true
},
busy:{
type:Boolean,
},
});
const Venue = module.exports = mongoose.model('Venues', VenueSchema);
module.exports.addVenue = function(newVenue, callback){
newVenue.save(callback);
}
and here's the service i'm using on the front-end. I'm getting no errors with angular 2, it's all just through the back-end.
#Injectable()
export class VenueService{
constructor(private http:Http){
}
getVenue(id){
var headers = new Headers();
return this.http.get('//ec2 instance/venues/venues'+ id)
.map(res => res.json());
}
addV
enue(newVenue){
var headers = new Headers;
headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json');
return this.http.post('(I'm using an ec2 address)/venues/venues', newVenue, {headers:headers})
.map(res => res.json());
}}
I'm using vscode, and I'm fairly new to javascript. Is there something I missed here?

Answer 1

Try using following way
JS
var newVenue = {
data: 'something'
};
$http.post('http://url/data', newVenue, {
headers: headers
})
.then(res => console.log(res.data());
This way you can see what is coming response or test your rest apis/calls from Postman rest client app
