Ch 12 Sample Code

How does it happen that the model shows "Title" and "Id" but the code sample shows several cases of lower case for the first letter?

This is the sample code:

Code:

<div ng-controller="ListController" class="row">
    <div class="span6">       
        <table class="table table-striped">
            <tr ng-repeat="movie in movies">
                <td>
                    {{movie.title}} id = {{movie.id}}
                </td>
                <td>
                    <button class="btn" ng-click="delete(movie)">Delete</button>
                    <a href="#/details/{{movie.id}}" class="btn">Details</a> 
                </td>
            </tr>    
        </table>        
        <button class="btn" ng-click="create()">Create</button>
    </div>
    <div class="span6">
        <div >
            <div ng-include="'/Client/views/edit.html'"></div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

(I added the "id = {{movie.id}}" for a test)

If I try to use lower case for the first letter of the data fields, my code fails?

This is my code:

Code:

<div ng-controller="ListController" class="row">
    <div class="span6">
        <table class="table table-striped">
            <tr ng-repeat="movie in movies">
                <td>
                    {{movie.Title}} id= {{movie.Id}}
                </td>
                <td>
                   
                    <button class="btn" ng-click="delete(movie)">Delete</button>
                    <a href="#/details/{{movie.Id}}" class="btn">Details</a>

                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
        <button class="btn" ng-click="create()">Create</button>
    </div>
    <div class="span6">
        <div>
            <div ng-include="'/Client/views/edit.html'"></div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

BTW, running the sample code requires putting connection strings in the config file.

Which code sample are you referring to that shows lower case? Looking through Chapter 12, I only see upper case for Title and Id.

Hi Jon,

It was the sample code that I downloaded. As I'm new to MVC, I try to follow your book to create my own code but also keep referring to the downloaded code to see if I'm getting it right.

As you might guess, I often get things wrong and will resort to cut and paste from the downloaded code. This is how I ran into this problem.

I'm referring to the files in the "Client" folder. The one I mentioned was the "List.html".

The sample code (in the download) turns on a camel casing switch in ASP.NET Web API, so the returned JSON properties are camel cased (first character lower cased). You can see how that's done in \App_Start\WebApiConfig.cs.
