MongooseJS Update API - angularjs

Question

I am having a 404 issue with my NodeJS API. I don't know if I am quite doing it right, I tried referring to documentation, and I feel like it's close.
MongoDB Schema
var User = mongoose.Schema({
local: {
email: String,
password: String,
handle: String,
pic: {data: Buffer, contentType: String}
}
});
NodeJS UPDATE API
app.post('/api/users', function(req, res, user) {
User.update({email : user.email,
password : user.password,
handle : user.handle,
pic : user.pic},
{$set: {
email : req.body.email,
password : req.body.email,
handle : req.body.handle,
pic : req.body.pic,
done : false
}
}, function(err, users) {
if(err) {
res.send(err);
}
res.redirect('/profile');
});
});
Controller POST API call
$scope.editProfile = function() {
$http.post('/api/users', $scope.editFormData)
.success(function(data) {
console.log(data);
})
.error(function(data) {
console.log('Error: ' + data);
});
};
Any suggestions?

You are not doing a post call correct. You can't pass your post object in the URL. Your node post should look like this.
app.post('/api', upload.array(), function(req, res) {
var body = req.body; //body will be your post object
});
For a post to work you need to make sure you have the proper things added to your Node Project. The above example is using ExpressJS with require('body-parser') and require('multer'). The example you are showing will never show as a true path. For reference here is how you would do a get in node.
app.get('/getcall/*', function(){
// the * denotes any singleton parameter you wanted to pass in.
})
Here are the references I use in all my node projects. These are the basics.
var express = require('express'),
bodyParser = require('body-parser'),
multer = require('multer'),
helmet = require('helmet'),
upload = multer(),
path = require('path'),
request = require('request'),
app = express(),
http = require('http');
Also as for your angular call an $http.post looks like this and you should be using .then instead of .success.
$http.post('/api', $scope.editFormData)
.then(function successCallback(resp) {
console.log(resp.data)
}, function errorCallback(resp) {
console.log(resp)
});
