JavaScript AngularJS Basics (1.x) Controllers and Scope Creating a Controller

My function is not called from the controller with the help of ng-click. What can I do?

app.js:

angular.module("todoListApp", []).controller('mainCtrl', function($scope){
  $scope.helloWorld=function(){
    console.log("Hay this is my controller from where I want to inject");
  };
});

index.html:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <title></title>
  <link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Varela+Round' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
  <link href='styles/main.css' rel='stylesheet' type="text/css">
</head>
<body ng-app="todoListApp">
  <h1>My TODOs</h1>
  <div ng-contoller="mainCtrl" class="list">
    <input type="checkbox"/>
      <label class="editing-label">My editing level</label>
      <input class="editing-label" type="text"/>
      <div class="actions">
        <a href="">edit</a>
        <a href="" ng-click="helloWorld()">save</a>
        <a href="" class="delete">delete</a>

Hey Jannatul,

Haven't done this yet, but it is possible there is a typo for the class, ng-contoller="mainCtrl"

hope that helps :smile:

hey, you spelled controller wrong here

<div ng-contoller="mainCtrl" class="list">

Thanks for your kind help Jason S

ng-controller is spelt wrong ... it is ng-controller not ng-contoller

It's not helping.... :(

were you able to "ask" other students at the bottom of this page?

he might have forgotten to save the file before previewing but that seems to be the only problem was the typo for controller
