Angular post request not working not working

Here is my module:

angular.module('ngDetails', ['])
.constant('API', 'http://myserver.com/dir/api')
.controller('carDetails', carDetails)

Here is my controller:

function carDetails($scope, CarDetailService) {
  CarDetailService.getCar().success(function(details) {

    $scope.details = details;

    carID = $scope.details['ID'];

    $scope.approve = function($scope, $http, API, Message) {
      $http.post( API + '/car/' + carID , { Message: Message } ).
      success(function(data) {
        $scope.approve = data;
      })
    }

  });

Here is my HTML:

<div ng-controller="carDetails">
  <textarea placeholder="Message" ng-model="Message"></textarea>
  <button ng-click="approve()">Approve</button>
</div>

What I am trying to do is send a post request to my API that sends with it a message that a user puts in inside of a textarea box before they hit the "approve" button. But when I hit the "approve" button I get an error saying - " Cannot read property 'post' of undefined at m.$scope.approve ". How can I fix this issue?

Thanks in advance.

When you are working with the angular services or your own build services and you want to use them in controller on services you need to inject them

 $scope.approve = function($scope, $http, API, Message) {
      $http.post( API + '/car/' + carID , { Message: Message } ).//$http?
      success(function(data) {
        $scope.approve = data;
      })

Inject like this

function carDetails($scope, CarDetailService,$http) {
  CarDetailService.getCar().success(function(details) {

    $scope.details = details;

    carID = $scope.details['ID'];

    $scope.approve = function($scope, $http, API, Message) {
      $http.post( API + '/car/' + carID , { Message: Message } ).
      success(function(data) {
        $scope.approve = data;
      })
    }

  });

Thats because you need to require the DI items on your constructor , and not in the approve function.

  function carDetails($scope, CarDetailService, $http, API, Message) {
  CarDetailService.getCar().success(function(details) {

    $scope.details = details;

    carID = $scope.details['ID'];

    $scope.approve = function() {
      $http.post( API + '/car/' + carID , { Message: Message } ).
      success(function(data) {
        $scope.approve = data;
      })
    }

  });
