I've gotten that error twice:
1) When I wrote:
var app = module('flapperNews', []);
instead of:
var app = angular.module('flapperNews', []);
2) When I copy and pasted some html, and the controller name in the html did not exactly match the controller name in my app.js file, for instance:
index.html:
<script src="app.js"></script>
...
...
<body ng-app="flapperNews" ng-controller="MainCtrl">
app.js:
var app = angular.module('flapperNews', []);
app.controller('MyCtrl', ....
In the html, the controller name is "MainCtrl", and in the js I used the name "MyCtrl".
There is actually an error message embedded in the error url:
Error: [ng:areq] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.3.2/ng/areq?p0=MainCtrl&p1=not%20a%20function%2C%20got%20undefined
Here it is without the hieroglyphics:
MainCtrl not a function got undefined
In other words, "There is no function named MainCtrl. Check your spelling."
