javascript angularjs angularjs-scope angularjs-ng-repeat ng-bind

ng-repeat / ng-bind wont show my data

The problem that i am getting is that my ng-repeat / ng-bind won't show the data inside $scope.articles. while in the console i get the data im expecting. I now made a code snippit so it's easier to discover the problem.

var App = angular.module('App', []);
App.controller('WebCtrl', function($scope, $http) {

  $scope.start = [{
    "id": 1,
    "text": "test1"
  }, {
    "id": 2,
    "text": "test2"
  }, {
    "id": 3,
    "text": "test3"
  }, {
    "id": 4,
    "text": "test4"
  }];
  $scope.articles = $scope.start;

  $http.get('/')
    .then(function() {
      $scope.menu = function(id) {
        $scope.articles = $scope.start[id];
        console.log($scope.articles);
      }
    });
});

    </li>
  </ul>

    <li style="list-style: none" ng-repeat="article in articles">
      {{article.text}}
    </li>
  </ul>

Solution

Your code starts with an articles object pointing to an array. Inside menu, it gets replaced by an object. ng-repeat iterates over its keys.

I guess the main change would be:

$scope.articles = $scope.start.slice(id, id + 1);

var App = angular.module('App', []);
App.controller('WebCtrl', function($scope, $http) {

  $scope.start = [{
    "id": 1,
    "text": "test1"
  }, {
    "id": 2,
    "text": "test2"
  }, {
    "id": 3,
    "text": "test3"
  }, {
    "id": 4,
    "text": "test4"
  }];
  $scope.articles = $scope.start;

      $scope.menu = function(id) {
        $scope.articles = $scope.start.slice(id, id + 1);
        console.log($scope.articles);
      }
});
