I believe the directive name is todos (with an 's').

Works for me. Looks like it's having trouble finding the controller and yes, the directive name should be plural in your index.html file: Does your todos.js look like:

angular.module('todoListApp') .directive('todos', function() { return { templateUrl: 'templates/todos.html', controller: 'mainCtrl' } })

Hope that helps.
