Two way databinding not working in angularjs

I am trying to have one very simple CRUD app. It involves one form with single text box. and all the entries posted through box shall display in a grid below text box.

All is well but somehow grid doesn't update with new entry unless page is refreshed. I am using loopback api running on localhost:3000 and my angular app on localhost:9000. Database is MySQL.

Same code works as expected if I am using MEAN stack. Now we have to support mySQL and decoupled API from my application. This is controller. 

    angular.module('dashboardApp')
      .controller('StateCtrl', function ($scope, $http) {
         $scope.formData = {};
         $scope.baseUrl = '//localhost:3000/api/v1/states';

         $http.get($scope.baseUrl).success(function(states) {
           $scope.states = states;
         });

        $scope.create = function() {
          $http.post($scope.baseUrl, $scope.formData)
            .success(function(states) {
              $scope.states = states;
            })
            .error(function(states) {
              console.log('Error: ' + states);
           });
        };
     });

This is view.

    <form class="form-inline" role="form" data-ng-submit="create()">
      <div class="form-group">
        <label class="sr-only" for="name">State</label>
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" placeholder="Enter state"  ng-model="formData.name">
     </div>
     <button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Enter</button>
    </form>

    <table class="table table-striped">
  <tr ng-repeat="state in states">
        <td>{{state.name}}</td>
  </tr>
    </table>

Any help is appreciated. just a note: I've tried using services/resources as well instead of $http.

I think the problem here is that $http.get is returning an array and $http.post in the $scope.create function is returning a single object.

  1. You have to push the returned object into the $scope.states array. Or ..

  2. Return an array from the $http.post request and assign it to $scope.states

    angular.module('dashboardApp') .controller('StateCtrl', function ($scope, $http) { $scope.formData = {}; $scope.baseUrl = '//localhost:3000/api/v1/states';

     $http.get($scope.baseUrl).success(function(states) {
   $scope.states = states; // this returns an array
 });

$scope.create = function() {
  $http.post($scope.baseUrl, $scope.formData)
    .success(function(states) {
      //$scope.states = states; // this return an object
      // Do this
      $scope.states.push(states);
    })
    .error(function(states) {
      console.log('Error: ' + states);
   });
};

    });

NB: Or you could just return the whole array on $http.post

I concur with @Maurice that you might be running into a cross domain issue you have two ports involved 9000 and 3000. If the data you are expecting back is in json you can try adding this your url

$scope.jsonpUrl = $scope.baseUrl+"?callback=JSON_CALLBACK";

$http.jsonp($scope.jsonpUrl)
.success(function(states) {
    $scope.states = states;
})
.error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
    // called asynchronously if an error occurs
    // or server returns response with an error status.
    console.log("Error:", data);
});

Give it a try and let us know. Cheers

As you are doing Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) is the API service adding the required HTTP Access-Control-Allow-Origin header? If not the response will be blocked by the browser. Adding an error callback to your $http.get() should also help detect what is wrong.
