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
 | 
						|
    ... 
 | 
						|
     }; |
