Post angularjs form to nodejs Express ( Bad request) - angularjs

Question

im new in angularJs, im trying to make a basic login with angularJS and nodejs ( server side), i dont care about security for now im just trying to learn how to post. so i made a login form and a controller with angular :
My Login Form :
<div class="col-md-4">
<h1>Login</h2>
<form class="form" >
<div class="form-group">
<label>Username</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" ng-model="login.mail" required>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Password</label>
<input type="password" class="form-control" ng-model="login.password" required>
</div>
<div>
<button type="text" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="login()">Login</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
then my router & controller Angularjs :
'use strict';
angular.module('login', ['ngRoute'])
.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/login', {
templateUrl: 'views/login.html',
controller: 'loginCtrl'
});
}])
.controller('loginCtrl', ['$scope', '$http', function ($scope, $http) {
$scope.login = function() {
$http.post('/api/users/login', $scope.login).success(function (response) {
console.log(response);
// refresh();
});
};
}]);
and Server side i have that :
router.post('/login/', function(req, res) {
// here "/login/" means "/users/login" ( in index of controllers)
console.log(req.body.mail);
var usermail = req.body.mail;
var pass = req.body.password;
console.log(usermail + pass);
User.find({mail: usermail}, function(err, user) {
if (err) {
res.send(err);
console.log("ça marche pas")
} else {
res.json( user );
console.log(user);
}
})
});
server side : it works ( when i use DHC chrome extension to Post) but when im using angularjs view i got that error :
POST http://localhost:3000/api/users/login 400 (Bad Request)
Please help me to solve that, i think i missed something. Thank you in advance.

I think you are sending your login function as in below line:
$http.post('/api/users/login', $scope.login)
You probably want to pass a parameter in your login function that can be sent to server as below:
$scope.login = function(loginData) {
$http.post('/api/users/login', loginData).success(function (response)
Update
You are assigning your form values to $scope.login. If you would create a separate variable for it, for example loginForm, you can send this as valid JSON to your API:
<div class="col-md-4">
<h1>Login</h2>
<form class="form" >
<div class="form-group">
<label>Username</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" ng-model="loginForm.mail" required>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Password</label>
<input type="password" class="form-control" ng-model="loginData.password" required>
</div>
<div>
<button type="text" class="btn btn-default" ng-click="login(loginData)">Login</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
And .js:
.controller('loginCtrl', ['$scope', '$http', function ($scope, $http) {
$scope.loginForm = {
mail: '',
password: ''
};
$scope.login = function(loginData) {
// Check what this prints out:
console.log(loginData);
$http.post('/api/users/login', loginData).success(function (response) {
console.log(response);
// refresh();
});
};
}]);
