Setting angularjs data inside ng-click

Question

I am trying set a variable's value inside ng click which is not working.

<a href="#newpage" ng-click="service.name='{{sub.cid}}'"> view</a>

But when i use plain text instead of angular data value it works fine.

<a href="#newpage" ng-click="service.name='abc'">

What is wrong in my code ?

Answer 1

Remove string interpolation and directly use sub.cid

<a href="#newpage" ng-click="service.name=sub.cid"> view</a>
