In my AngularJS app, I have three controllers. One is the main controller and the other two are siblings.
I have Sibling control 1
to emit data to Main control
, which broadcasts the data, which sibling control 2
then picks up.
Sibling control 1
$scope.selectedPatentFx;
$scope.$watch('selectedPatentFx', function(newValue, oldValue){
if($scope.selectedPatentFx) {
$scope.$emit('calculateFx', {patentfx: newValue});
}
})
Main control
$scope.$on('calculateFx', function(event, obj){
$scope.$broadcast('calculateFxBroadcast', {fx: obj})
});
Sibling control 2
$scope.$on('calculateFxBroadcast', function(event, obj){
//handle obj
})
The issue is that the data is being sent twice. However it doesn't cause any errors (as of yet).
Question
Why is the data being emitted/broadcasted twice?
I would avoid using events ($broadcast
) here. You can do it by using a service which shares the data. I created an abstract example which delivers you the basic handling.

View
<div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<button ng-click="setData()">
Set data
</button>
<h1>
Controller1
</h1>
<hr>
<p>
{{data.getContactInfo()}}
</p>
</div>
<div ng-controller="MyOtherCtrl">
<br><br>
<h1>
Controller2
</h1>
<hr> {{data.getContactInfo()}}
</div>
AngularJS application
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope, myService) {
$scope.data = myService;
$scope.setData = function() {
myService.setContactInfo('Hello World');
}
});
myApp.controller('MyOtherCtrl', function($scope, myService) {
$scope.data = myService;
});
myApp.service('myService', function() {
this.contactInfo = '';
this.setContactInfo = function (data) {
this.contactInfo = data;
}
this.getContactInfo = function () {
return this.contactInfo;
}
});
