Create a function with angularJS - angularjs

Question

I am very new on the forum and also with AngularJS.
I am trying to send a request to a REST server. I used this function
$scope.submitForm = function() {
var url = 'http://localhost:8080/Server/config/start';
var request = $http({
method: 'POST',
url: url,
params: {
name: 'test'
}
});
request.success(
function() {
//alert('it succeeded');
}
);
request.error(
function() {
// alert('it didnt work');
}
);
};
The code is not working properly on the server side because of some serialization stuff. I found a post on the forum that suggests using this function instead
$http({
method: 'POST',
url: url,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
},
transformRequest: function(obj) {
var str = [];
for (var p in obj)
str.push(encodeURIComponent(p) + "=" + encodeURIComponent(obj[p]));
return str.join("&");
},
data: {
username: $scope.userName,
password: $scope.password
}
}).success(function() {});
I am not sure how to use this function with my code, I tried this code
$scope.submitForm = function() {
var url = 'http://localhost:8080/Server/config/start';
var request = $http({
method: 'POST',
url: url,
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
},
transformRequest: function(obj) {
var str = [];
for (var p in obj)
str.push(encodeURIComponent(p) + "=" + encodeURIComponent(obj[p]));
return str.join("&");
},
data: {
name: 'test'
}
}).success(function() {});
but I get an error due to the }); . Can someone help me to format and fix the code?

$scope.submitForm = function() {
var url = 'http://localhost:8080/Server/config/start';
var request = $http({
method: 'POST',
url: url,
headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'},
transformRequest: function(obj) {
var str = [];
for(var p in obj)
str.push(encodeURIComponent(p) + "=" + encodeURIComponent(obj[p]));
return str.join("&");
},
data: {name: 'test'}}).success(function () {});
} // you need a '}' here.
also you can try the post method of $http this way.
$http.post('url', data)
.success(function(data, status, headers) { //success callback })
.error(function(data, status, headers) { //error callback });
