I know there are a ton of questions already on this topic, I tried the solutions I found but it doesnt seem to work. Basically I have this directive called basicMunch that goes through an array of objects and creates some html. Everything works nicely and bind other than the ng-modal Here is the code for the directive:
> munches.directive('basicmunches', function() { return {
> require: 'ngModel',
> template:`<div class='columns'> <div ng-repeat="mu in basicMunches" class="card column col-4 col-sm-12">
> <div class="card-header">
> <h4 class="card-title">{{mu.name}}</h4>
> <h6 class="card-subtitle">{{mu.type}}</h6>
> </div>
> <div class="card-body">
> {{mu.text}}
> </div>
> <div class="card-footer">
> <div class="form-group">
> <label class="form-switch">
> <input ng-model="mu.tag" name="{{mu.tag}}" type="checkbox" />
> <i class="form-icon"></i> Turn On
> </label>
> </div>
> </div>
> </div></div>` } });
Here is the array:
$scope.basicMunches = [
{"name":"The New York TImes",
"text":"Get the top headlines from the NYT every morning",
"type":"News", "tag":"nyt"
},
{"name":"Wall Street Journal",
"text":"Get the top headlines from the WSJ every morning",
"type":"News", "tag":"wsj"
}
];
Here is what i see in the console
I have tried doing $parent.mu.tag and $parent.$parent.mu.tag, but that didnt work as it shouldnt have because it isnt nested in some other scope (atleast not that I know of)
I tried doing the name of the controller.mu.tag, that too doesnt work
I tried doing mu['tag'] and that doesnt work either
I tried using {{ and that doesnt work I changed it to ng-bind={{mu.tag}} and that does work It is weird to me that it works for ng-bind but it doesnt work for ng-model.... Anyhow, anyone have any ideas?
It seems like what you are wanting is to bind the
ng-model
property to the value ofmu.tag
, rather than tomu.tag
itself.Due to the way that
ng-model
is parsed, you need to use a variation of the bracket syntax in order to make this possible. The proper syntax here is$parent[mu.tag]
which will look on the$parent
object for the property named by the value ofmu.tag
. The parent of theng-repeat
is$scope
, so this ends up with the property on the correct object.http://plnkr.co/edit/RZNDa2XVUoZp1z7QeN46?p=preview
Have the checkbox inputs fill properties of an object with property accessor bracket notation:
