Angular noob here. I'm trying to create a form as a directive. ng-submit
calls a controller action, but, within that method, I don't have access to the controllers scope, ie. $scope
.
Here's the part that's really confusing me. On my laptop and my desktop, the first time I dropped into debugger
within the submit()
, $scope
was still in scope. Every subsequent time, it's not.
I had a coworker test this code, and they can't reproduce it.
EDIT: If I do not drop into debugger at that point in $scope.submit
it works fine.
course-material-form.js.coffee
angular
.module 'app'
.directive 'courseMaterialForm', () ->
restrict: 'EA'
templateUrl: 'app/shared/coursework/course-material/templates/_form.html'
scope:
book: '='
model: '='
controller: 'CourseMaterialFormCtrl'
course-material-form-ctrl.js.coffee
angular
.module 'app'
.controller 'CourseMaterialFormCtrl', ($scope) ->
$scope.submit = () ->
return
_form.html.haml
%form.form-compact#course-material-form{ "ng-submit" => "submit()" }
%fieldset.row
.form-group.col-xs-12
%label Title
%input{ type: 'text', "ng-model" => " book.title " }
.form-group.col-md-6.col-xs-12
%label Author
%input{ type: 'text', "ng-model" => " book.author " }

I don't know if this qualifies as an answer. I was not actually calling
$scope
from within the controller method. If you$scope.book
then$scope
is available in the debugger.
