I cannot get at a form value through $scope.form. In the view and Batarang I see that the form object has the right name for all fields, but no values. On the other hand, the value in the actual form field is correct, as is the $scope.mymodel.headline value (see example below).
Why would this happen?
Sample for 1 field follows. Batarang output:
{
mymodel: {
headline: My value
}
form: {
mymodel[headline]: { }
}
}
If I output {{form}} in the view it shows:
mymodel[headline]: { }
Controller code is very simple:
@mymodelCtrl = ['$scope', ($scope) ->
$scope.init = (mymodel) ->
$scope.mymodel = mymodel
]
Much simplified HTML:
<div id="new_mymodel" ng-controller="mymodelCtrl"
ng-init="init({'headline': 'my value'})" class="ng-scope">
<form action="/myurl" id="new_mymodel" method="post" name="form" role="form">
<input id="mymodel_headline" name="mymodel[headline]"
ng-model="mymodel.headline" ng-required="true" type="text">
<input type="submit">
</form>
</div>
UPDATE: At first I thought the accepted answer was wrong, but that was because of a side issue. But it is correct: the issue is that developer console and batarang and view were displaying something wrong, not that the field is empty. I needed to use $scope.form["mymodel[headline]"].$formVaue.
