I have a view where the user gives an input and display it in another view.
view 1:
<ion-content ng-controller="controller">
<input type="text" ng-model="name">
<button ng-click="save()">Save</button>
Controller:
$scope.save = function () {
$scope.displayName = $scope.name;
$state.go('app.viewTwo');
}
View 2:
<ion-content ng-controller="controller">
{{displayName}}
</ion-content>
Its known, that whenever a view is loaded the controller is initialized fresh every time. So how to display the value from the first view, in another view.
You need to use a service or factory to use the variable across the controllers.
DEMO:
var app = angular.module("clientApp", [])
app.controller("TestCtrl",
function($scope,names) {
$scope.names =[];
$scope.save= function(){
names.add($scope.name);
}
$scope.getnames = function(){
$scope.names = names.get();
}
}
);
app.factory('names', function(){
var names = {};
names.list = [];
names.add = function(message){
names.list.push({message});
};
names.get = function(){
return names.list;
};
return names;
});

<body ng-app="clientApp">
<div ng-controller="TestCtrl">
<input type="text" ng-model="name">
<button ng-click="save()" > save</button>
</div>
<div ng-init="getnames()" ng-controller="TestCtrl">
<div ng-repeat="name in names">
{{name}}
</div>
</div>
</body>

You can also use $rootScope , but it is not a recommended way.
