I have an object which consists of multiple arrays:
$scope.myArrays = {
array1: ['Pizza', 'Spaghetti'],
array2: ['Lasagne', 'Schnitzel']
};
Moreover, I have a custom directive to which I want to pass this object myArrays
and bind those arrays to scope variables:
<my-directive my-data="myArrays"></my-directive>
myApp.directive('myDirective', function() {
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: {
arrayOne: '=myData.array1',
arrayTwo: '=myData.array2'
},
link: function(scope, elem) {
// get access to scope.array1 and scope.array2
}
};
});
All together in a fiddle for you to play around!
Is there a way to bind the arrays directly or do I need to bind arrays: '=myArrays'
and access them like arrays.array1
?
Binding has to be one to one, you cannot do that. Yes, you will have to access the arrays inside your directive.
You can directly access
scope.myData.array1
andscope.myDate.array2
inside the directive template if you dont have to process these arrays in the link function and get rid of it.
