Using MongoDB with Restangular - angularjs

Question

I'm new with MEAN and now I have a problem which I can't solve. On server side for providing a REST API with express I'm using library node-restful. So there I have this schema Sport.js:
var mongoose = require('mongoose');
// create a schema
var SportSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
name: {
type: String,
required: true
}
});
// export the model schema
module.exports = SportSchema;
and controller SportController.js
var restful = require('node-restful');
module.exports = function (app, route) {
// setup the controller for REST
var rest = restful.model(
'sport',
app.models.sport
).methods(['get', 'put', 'post', 'delete']);
// register the endpoint with the application
rest.register(app, route);
// return middleware
return function (req, res, next) {
next();
};
};
On the client side I'm using library restangular as AngularJS service to handle Rest API Restful Resources. Here is controller main.js which use it:
angular.module('clientApp')
.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope, Sport) {
$scope.sports = Sport.getList().$object;
console.log($scope);
});
In Firebug I see that object $scope so that works fine and also I can use object $scope.sports in my template. But what I want here is using mongoosejs' commands, for example
angular.module('clientApp')
.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope, Sport) {
// find each sport with a name matching 'Run'
Sport.findOne({ 'name': 'Run' }, function (err, sport) {
if (err) return handleError(err);
console.log(sport.name); // <-- does not work
});
$scope.sports = Sport.getList().$object;
//console.log($scope);
});
Is it possible to do it? I'm really new in MEAN so I apologize if I'm doing something totally wrong.

Answer 1

So you have a functional MongoDB and you now just want to list a sport that contains 'Run'?
Put a ng-model in the html element that is supposed to do something with the output. Say you want to list all the sports containing run in a list:
<any-html ng-model="findonly.name" value="Run">
Or perhaps as a modifiable box:
<input ng-model="searchSport.name" placeholder="Search for sports by name">
Which you can then use as an Angular filter
<table> <th>...</th>
<tr ng-repeat="Sport in sports" | filter:searchSport.name:strict"> <td> {{Sport.name}}
</td></tr></table>
or in case of the first example use
filter:findonly.name:strict"
