    $scope.update = function(){
        console.log('clicked');
        $http({

            url: 'ajax-processor.php',
            data:  {'ajaxKey':'Mykey'}
        }).then(function successCallback(response) {
            ̶$̶s̶c̶o̶p̶e̶.̶o̶b̶j̶e̶c̶t̶s̶ ̶=̶ ̶r̶e̶s̶p̶o̶n̶s̶e̶.̶d̶a̶t̶a̶;̶
            $scope.common.objects = response.data;
            console.log(response.data);
        });
    }
 }]);
