|  | title: Fixing Exportsupdate in Angular | ||
|  | --- | ||
|  | As it turns out, in **thing.controller.js** as well as in any other endpoints you may generate, the _exports.update_ function that is called when you make an _$http.put_ call from your frontend to modify an existing database object is broken. This is a <a href='https://github.com/DaftMonk/generator-angular-fullstack/issues/310' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>known issue</a>, and can be fixed by changing the following line: | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  |     // Updates an existing thing in the DB. | ||
|  |     exports.update = function(req, res) {  | ||
|  |     ...     | ||
|  |         var updated = _.extend(thing, req.body);  | ||
|  |         // change _.merge to _.extend | ||
|  |     ...  | ||
|  |      }; |
