my problem is that the ng-repeat is not updating automatically the data. When I press add pin in my code, the element is added correctly to the database. If I reload the page the data appear correctly, but not as angular should. For the record, the Update and delete are working correctly.
Thanks in advance
This is my app.js code:
var app = angular.module("app", []);
app.controller("AppCtrl", function ($http) {
var app = this;
$http.get("/api/pin").success(function (data) {
app.pins = data.objects;
})
app.addPin = function (scope) {
$http.post("/api/pin", {"title":"new", "image":"http://placekitten.com/200/200/?image=" + app.pins.length})
.success(function(data) {
add.pins.push(data);
})
}
app.deletePin = function (pin) {
$http.delete("/api/pin/" + pin.id).success(function(response) {
app.pins.splice(app.pins.indexOf(pin), 1)
})
}
app.updatePin = function (pin) {
$http.put("/api/pin/" + pin.id, pin);
}
})
This is my index.html file:
<html>
<head>
<title>Pin Clone</title>
<script src="angular/angular.js"></script>
<script src="angular/angular-resource.js"></script>
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-app="app" ng-controller="AppCtrl as app">
<button ng-click="app.addPin()">Add Pin</button>
<div ng-repeat="pin in app.pins">
<img ng-src="{{ pin.image }}" alt=""/>
<div class="ui">
<input type="text" ng-model="pin.title"/>
<button ng-click="app.updatePin(pin)">Update</button>
<button ng-click="app.deletePin(pin)">Delete</button>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Cannot agree with Gavin. First, what you're doing is totally fine. Creating instance of controller is a much better practice than using $scope. Second, $apply() is not needed here.
The problem is ng-repeat created a new scope. While pin is updated, app.pins is not. You should do

First of all, you should really use
$scope
(Doc) in your controller. You can read more about the differences in this post.Thus your controller would look like this.

Finally, here comes the core part. You should call
$apply
(Doc) when your models change. You can read more in this blog post.Thus, the full controller code:
