I am a newb with angularjs and I am trying something that I believe should be very simple ... but turns out I am not figuring it out.
I have a $scope variable that I want to double bind (using ng-model) to a textarea. I was able to make it work on js fiddle websites but now on my code. I have tried to strip everything down to just a few lines and it still doesn't work, the controller is never updated.
this is my code:
js/main.js
var app=angular
.module('noclu', ['ionic', 'app.controllers'])
.config(function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider){
$stateProvider
.state('menu.main', {
url: "/main",
views: {
'menuContent': {
templateUrl: 'templates/main.html',
controller: 'MainCtrl'
}
}
});
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/menu/main");
});
js/controller.js
angular
.module('app.controllers', [])
.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope){
$scope.src='---';
$scope.get_feeds=function(){
//seems like that here "this" is actually the textarea ??
//$scope.src is always whatever has been set in the controller
console.log('this:'+this.src); //this output whatever I enter in the textarea
console.log('scope:'+$scope.src); //this always output '---'
};
});

UPDATE - I made it work, but why ?
I made it work by changing $scope.src='---'; to $scope.src={body:'---'}; and then changing the ng-modal to src.body. but.. WHY did not work the other way as it works for boolean?
