I'm trying to making some custom elements with AngularJS's and bind some events to it, then I notice $scope.var won't update UI when used in a binding function.
Here is a simplified example that describing the probelm:
HTML:
<!doctype html> <html ng-app="test"> <head> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.0.6/angular.min.js"></script> <script src="script.js"></script> </head> <body> <div ng-controller="Ctrl2"> <span>{{result}}</span> <br /> <button ng-click="a()">A</button> <button my-button>B</button> </div> </body> </html>
JS:
function Ctrl2($scope) { $scope.result = 'Click Button to change this string'; $scope.a = function (e) { $scope.result = 'A'; } $scope.b = function (e) { $scope.result = 'B'; } } var mod = angular.module('test', []); mod.directive('myButton', function () { return function (scope, element, attrs) { //change scope.result from here works //But not in bind functions //scope.result = 'B'; element.bind('click', scope.b); } });
DEMO : http://plnkr.co/edit/g3S56xez6Q90mjbFogkL?p=preview
Basicly, I bind click
event to my-button
and want to change $scope.result
when user clicked button B (similar to ng-click:a()
on button A). But the view won't update to the new $scope.result
if I do this way.
What did I do wrong? Thanks.
"How does this and $scope work in AngularJS controllers?" When the controller constructor function is called, this is the controller. When a function defined on a $scope object is called, this is the "scope in effect when the function was called". This may (or may not!) be the $scope that the function is defined on.
The $scope in an AngularJS is a built-in object, which contains application data and methods. You can create properties to a $scope object inside a controller function and assign a value or function to it. The $scope is glue between a controller and view (HTML).
Explanation: No, the '$scope' cannot be injected while creating service using 'factory' method.
The $scope object used by views in AngularJS are organized into a hierarchy. There is a root scope, and the $rootScope can has one or more child scopes.
Event handlers are called "outside" Angular, so although your $scope
properties will be updated, the view will not update because Angular doesn't know about these changes.
Call $scope.$apply()
at the bottom of your event handler. This will cause a digest cycle to run, and Angular will notice the changes you made to the $scope
(because of the $watches
that Angular set up due to using {{ ... }}
in your HTML) and update the view.
This might be also a result of different problem but with the same symptoms.
If you destroy a parent scope of the one that is assigned to the view, its changes will not affect the view in any way even after $apply()
call. See the example - you can change the view value through the text input, but when you click Destroy parent scope!, model is not updated anymore.
I do not consider this as a bug. It is rather result of too hacky code in application :-)
I faced this problem when using Angular Bootstrap's modal. I tried to open second modal with scope of the first one. Then, I immediately closed the first modal which caused the parent scope to be destroyed.
