I have an 2 inputs with ng-model and two elements binding the two models, I want that when I click on a button it switch the bindings i a way that element 1 binds model 2 and element 2 bind model 1, it work perfectly, but when start changing models if affect the two elements!
to illustrate it i've created aplunker !
How to fix this ?
app.js :
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('myController', function($scope,$compile) {
$scope.model1="1";
$scope.model2="2";
$('#click').click(function () {
$('#model1').attr('ng-bind','model2');
$('#model2').attr('ng-bind','model1');
angular.element($compile( $('#model1'))($scope));
angular.element($compile( $('#model2'))($scope));
$scope.$apply();
});
});
Here is a working plunker example;
Never manipulate DOM directly in a controller. Usually you don't manipulate dom yourself. You use angular directive to do what you want. Keep it mind that if you want to use jQuery, you're probably doing it in a wrong way and that there is a way do to it from angular without calling to jQuery.
Javascript
var app = angular.module('plunker', []);
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope,$compile) {
$scope.name = 'World';
//input1 and input2 will contain the key of the variable bind to the input.
$scope.input1 = "value1";
$scope.input2 = "value2";
$scope.model = {
value1 : 1,
value2 : 2
}
// Here is my switch function. I just switch the keys and angular will do the rest.
$scope.switch = function(){
var tmp = $scope.input1;
$scope.input1 = $scope.input2;
$scope.input2 = tmp;
}
});
HTML
<body ng-controller="MainCtrl">
<!-- Angular provide a directive called ng-click to bind function on clic for the html element -->
<button ng-click="switch()">switch</button>
<!-- Here i bind the property of an object. I'll just update the key in input1 to change which property is bind-->
<input type="text" ng-model="model[input1]" />
<input type="text" ng-model="model[input2]" />
<h5 id="model1" ng-bind="model[input1]"></h5>
<h5 id="model2" ng-bind="model[input2]"></h5>
</body>
Hope it helped you out, if you want further explanation go on.
