I've worked a lot with Angular and Rails, and I highly recommend using AngularJS Rails Resource. It makes working with a Rails backend just that much easier.

You will need to specify this module in your app's dependencies and then you'll need to change your factory to look like this:

app.factory('Article', function(railsResourceFactory) {
  return railsResourceFactory({url: '/articles', name: 'article');
});

Basically, based on the error that you are getting, what is happening is that your resource is not creating the correct article parameter. AngularJS Rails Resource does that for you, and it also takes care of other Rails-specific behavior.

Additionally, $scope.newPost should not be Article.save(). You should initialize it with a new resource new Article() instead.
