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>
      </div>
  </div>

  <script src="vendor/angular.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script src="scripts/app.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

</body>
</html>

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:

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