AngularJS updating json file according value of input

Following Huston Hedinger's AngularJS course, and the Todo list web application. I am trying to implement the save feature properly, so that when the 'save' button is clicked, it gets the value of the input, and it updates or overwrites the current 'todos.json' file to contain the information which the user changed.

I found a few answers on stack overflow but dont know how to implement them into my code. I am new the angularJS and still very much a novice to it. Thanks.

My code is here on my GitHub if needed. Cheers.

at this file https://github.com/jake6191/todos2/blob/master/scripts/services/data.js

Fix this 

this.getTodos = function(callback){
    $http.get('mock/todos.json')
    .then(callback)
  };

TO ==>

this.getTodos = function(){
    return $http.get('mock/todos.json')
  };

then use:
dataService.getTodos().then(
  success => {},
  error => {}
);
