I have a rather simple two-way data-binding for an input field and would like to have the value the input field binds to return to what it previously was when a "cancel" button is clicked.
Code is currently like this:
html:
<div *ngIf="editModeToggle" class="five wide column left floated">
<div class="edit-on">
<input type="text" class="header" [(ngModel)]="item.name">
</div>
</div>
<div *ngIf="!editModeToggle" class="five wide column left floated">
<div class="header">{{item.name}}</div>
</div>
<div *ngIf="editModeToggle" class="one wide column">
<a (click)="saveChanges(item)"><i class="save icon"></i></a>
</div>
<div *ngIf="editModeToggle" class="one wide column">
<a (click)="cancelEdit()"><i class="cancel icon"></i></a>
</div>
<div *ngIf="!editModeToggle" class="one wide column">
<a (click)="edit(item)"><i class="edit icon"></i></a>
</div>
ts:
edit(item: any) {
this.editModeToggle = true;
this.oldItemData = this.item;
console.log('------ edit activate -------')
console.log('old item:', this.oldItemData.name);
console.log('item:', this.item.name);
}
saveSbuChanges(item: any) {
// some stuff happens
this.editModeToggle = false;
console.log('------ save -------')
console.log('old item:', this.oldItemData.name);
console.log('item:', this.item.name);
}
cancelEdit() {
this.editModeToggle = false;
this.item = this.oldItemData;
console.log('------ cancel -------')
console.log('old item:', this.oldItemData.name);
console.log('item:', this.item.name);
}
What I would expect is that item.name, initialized with "ABC" would return to ABC when I click cancle. Instead, this.oldItemData.name takes on the new value.
Console-log:
------ edit activate -------
old item: ABC
item: ABC
------ cancel -------
old item: ABCD
item: ABCD
what am I missing/how can I hav cancel return the value to what it as when edit-mode was activated?
