In my application I'm generating two types of popover one static and another dynamic from a given situation.
My purpose is to update a scope variable of my parent controller, I usually do this like so:
$scope.$parent.myVariable = 'Hello Parent';
Nevertheless I'm not able to access my parent from the dynamic popover. I'm using a templated popover with angular strap and injecting it a controller.
This is my plunker example of What I want to do.
After digging a little in my popover controller $scope I discover that I'm able to get my parent (mainCtrl in the plunker example) like so:
$scope.$parent.$parent.$parent.trackName ='Hello ' + $scope.name;
This is like a big inception but I found it :). Anyway I can't access it from the dynamic popover.
How can I get my parent from the popoverCtrl from both?
Here is one solution.
1) add scope to your dynamic call to tie two scopes together.
scope: $scope
2) use object to bypass finding the correct $parent level
$scope.my = {};
$scope.my.name = "this is now available in all your popovers"
