Is it possible to update the scope variable that points to a factory object, after the factory object is updated? If there are 2 angular controllers which share a factory object, if one of the controllers changes the factory object, it is not reflected in the scope variable of the other controller.
Ex: http://jsfiddle.net/zjm0mo10/ The result will be
"Factory foo.bar is 555" instead of
"Factory foo.bar is 666"var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.factory('testFactory', function(){
return {
foo: {bar:555},
}
});
function HelloCtrl($scope, testFactory)
{
$scope.bar = testFactory.foo.bar;
$scope.clickme = function()
{
alert("testFactory.foo.bar "+testFactory.foo.bar);
$scope.$apply();
}
}
function GoodbyeCtrl($scope, testFactory)
{
testFactory.foo.bar = 666;
}
<html>
<div ng-controller="HelloCtrl">
<p>Factory foo.bar is {{bar}}</p>
<button ng-click="clickme();">btn</button>
</div>
</html>
Set your scope properties to
testFactory.foo
, egand
That way, the scoped property will reference
testFactory.foo
which remains intact (not overwritten).Also, you need to remove
$scope.$apply()
fromclickme()
.ng-click
already triggers a digest cycle.http://jsfiddle.net/zjm0mo10/1/
