I would like to create a list of items built in Directive and share through controllers.
Here is my example in plunker: Example of my code
Here is my code in js:
var app = angular.module('app', []);
app.controller("BrunchesCtrl", function ($scope, $log) {
$scope.brunches = [];
$scope.addNew = function () {
$scope.brunches.push({ address: "" });
};
$scope.$watch('brunch.address', function(value) {
$scope.address = value;
$log.info($scope.address);
});
$scope.$watch(function() { return $scope.brunches.length; }, function() {
$scope.brunches = $scope.brunches.map(function (brunch) {
return brunch;
});
});
});
app.directive('brunchesView', function ($compile) {
return {
restrict: 'E',
templateUrl: 'brunch.html',
controller: 'BrunchesCtrl',
replace: true,
link: function (scope, element, attrs, controller) {
}
};
});
app.directive('businessSubmit', function ($log, $compile, formManagerService) {
return {
restrict: 'AE',
controller: 'BrunchesCtrl',
link: function (scope, element, attrs, controller) {
formManagerService.init();
var hasError;
element.on('click', function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$log.info("brunches: \n");
$log.info(scope.brunches);
});
}
};
});
Here is an HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<div class="controls">
<a class="btn btn-danger" id="addBrunch" data-ng-click="addNew()">
<i class="icon-plus-sign"></i>
add new...
</a>
</div>
</div>
<brunches-view class="well" data-ng-repeat="brunch in brunches">{{brunch}}</brunches-view>
<br/>
<p class="well">
JSON: {{brunches | json}}
</p>
<div class="control-group">
<div class="controls">
<a class="btn btn-primary" href="#" data-business-submit>
<i class="icon-save"></i>
Save...
</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.0/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.3/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script src="script.js"></script>
And here is the template:
<div class="fc-border-separate">
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label">Address</label>
<div class="controls">
<input type="text" class="span6 m-wrap"
name="Address" data-ng-model="address"
value="{{address}}" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
The final thing I want to save the whole data inside the BusinessSubmit
directive.
Help please...

Several issues with your code.
First, your ng-model
for the <input>
is set to address
, but the object you are wanting to bind it to a brunch
object that has an address
property. Important to realize that ng-repeat
will create a child scope for every repeated item
<input data-ng-model="brunch.address"/>
Another issue is you are assigning the parent controller to a directive as well. Important to understand that controllers are singletons so if you use controller more than once , each is a separate instance. Therefore nesting the parent controller in a directive makes no sense.
If you want the data shared with other controllers you should set up a service that holds the brunches
data by injecting it into whatever controllers will need access
