I just started learning the basics of Angular. I'm attempting to making an annual salary converter, just for fun. I'm having difficulty with my monthly ng-model updating when the yearly model is changed by the user. The fields are input tags. Here is the code
<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="salaryApp">
<head>
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<div class="container" ng-controller="converter">
<h1>Salary converter</h1>
<div class="form-group">
<label>Annual Salary</label>
<input type="number" class="form-control" placeholder="0" ng-model="yearly" ng-change="reCalculate()" >
<br>
<label>Monthly Salary</label>
<input type="number" class="form-control" placeholder="0" ng-model="monthly" disabled>
</div>
</div>
<!--<div ng-controller="converter">
Write some text in textbox:
<input type="text">
<h1>Hello {{ yearly }}</h1>
<h1>Hello {{ monthly }}</h1>
</div>-->

<script type="text/javascript">
var app = angular.module('salaryApp', []);
app.controller('converter', function($scope) {
$scope.yearly = 80000;
console.log("log1");
$scope.monthly = $scope.yearly / 12;
console.log("log2");
function reCalculate() {
console.log("function was run");
return $scope.yearly /12.00;
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Here is the plnkr http://plnkr.co/edit/26y0JRR7iVcrLOBlm7D2?p=preview
Youe need to use it as scope property. Here :
function reCalculate() {
console.log("function was run");
return $scope.yearly /12.00;
}
should be
$scope.reCalculate = function () {
console.log("function was run");
$scope.monthly=$scope.yearly /12.00;//Don't return, you neet to assign
}
