AngularJs update data after adding new record

Which is the best way to update comments data when new record is added to database? i recently have this code which is working fine , but I am thinking that this way of coding may take long time if i have large amount of comments.Any help is appreciated

function addComment(comment){
    dataservice.addComment(comment).then(function(response){
        if(response.status == 200){
            vm.getArticleComments(); // this will make new request to backend to fetch all comments
            comment.body = '';
        }else{
            return false;
        }
    });
 }

I was thinking to push new comment to view if response code is 200

Solution

IMO, Better use arrays instead.

Use unshift() method to prepend the ng-repeat list.

var data = [bar,bar2,bar3];
data.unshift(newItem);
//data = [newItem,bar,bar2,bar3];

Before doing this, make sure that you've successfully populated the database using $http.

As you said that you're think to push, that is also a good option but that will push the new data to the end of the list in the view.

Hope this helps you :)

var app = angular.module('app', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', ['$scope', function ($scope) {
  $scope.items = [{
    name: '1',
    type: 'A'
  }, {
    name: '2',
    type: 'B'
  }];
  
  $scope.prependItem = function () {
    $scope.items.unshift({
      name: '3',
      type: 'C'
    });
  };
}]);
