How to change ng-init value using function?

Question

Here is my Html and JavaScript code and I want to change it through a function.

Html :

<div class="container" ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myController">
  <h2>{{title}}</h2>
  <ul ng-init="initItems()">
    <li ng-repeat="item in items">
      <input ng-model="item.name" type="text"/>
      <div ng-if="makeVisible == item.id  && makeVisible !='' ">
        <input ng-model="newname" type="text"/>
        <button ng-click="hideme(item.id);  rename()" type="button">
          <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok">
          </span>
        </button>
        <button ng-click="hideme(item.id)" type="button">
          <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove">
          </span>
        </button>
      </div>
      <input ng-click=" showme( item.id)" type="button" value="Rename"/>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

Javascript

function item(id, name) {
    this.id = id;
    this.name = name;
};

angular.module('myApp', []).controller('myController', function($scope) {
    $scope.items = [];
    $scope.makeVisible = "";
    $scope.initItems = function() {
        $scope.items.push(new item("0", 'Vikash'));
        $scope.items.push(new item("1", 'Kumar'));
        $scope.items.push(new item("2", 'Vishal'));
        $scope.items.push(new item("3", 'Ajay'));
    };
    $scope.renameThis = function(index, oldValue) {
        console.log("oldValue==" + oldValue);
        console.log("indexx==" + index);
        var id = 'box-' + index;
        console.log("Id : " + id);
        document.getElementById(id).style.display = "block";
        console.log('jai hind');
    };
    $scope.showme = function(id) {
        $scope.makeVisible = id;
        console.log('id', id);
    };
    $scope.hideme = function(id) {
        console.log(item);
        $scope.makeVisible = "";
    };
    $scope.title = 'Enter new name here';
    $scope.rename = function() {
        $scope.item.name = $scope.newname;
        console.log('dfasdd');
    };
});

Here is the value in ng-initwhich is displayed in input field 1, and I want to change it with the value of the second input field when I click. How can i do this? I also add a function to the button.

Answer 1

add visible attr to the element,

function item(id, name) {
    this.id = id;
    this.visible=false;
    this.name = name;
}

and change the show and hide function to this code

$scope.hideme = function(item) {
     item.visible=false;
};

$scope.showme = function(item) {
     item.visible=true;
};

and change this code

<div ng-if="makeVisible == item.id  && makeVisible !='' ">

at

<div ng-if="item.visible">

and send the object of the object to the functions shomme and hideme

<input ng-click="showme(item)" type="button" value="Rename"/>


<button ng-click="hideme(item);  rename()" type="button">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok">
    </span>
</button>
<button ng-click="hideme(item)" type="button">
    <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove">
    </span>
</button>

ng-if, newname , .

, :

function item(id, name) {
    this.id = id;
    this.name = name;
};

angular
    .module('myApp', [])
    .controller('myController', function($scope) {
        $scope.items = [];
        $scope.makeVisible = '';
        $scope.title = 'Enter new name here';
        $scope.initItems = function() {
            $scope.items.push(new item('0', 'Vikash'));
            $scope.items.push(new item('1', 'Kumar'));
            $scope.items.push(new item('2', 'Vishal'));
            $scope.items.push(new item('3', 'Ajay'));
        };
        $scope.showme = function(id) {
            $scope.makeVisible = id;
        };
        $scope.hideme = function(id) {
            $scope.makeVisible = '';
        };
        $scope.rename = function(item, newname) {
            item.name = newname;
        }; 
    });

Answer 3

As I understand it, you want to change the value of the first input window ( item.name) with the value of the second input window ( newname) using the function renamecalled by pressing the button (allows you to rename the button).

The solution for this is to pass functions to itemand newname.

Simplified HTML:

<ul ng-init="initItems()">
    <li ng-repeat="item in items">
        <input ng-model="item.name" type="text" />
        <input ng-model="newname" type="text" />
        <input ng-click="rename(item, newname)" type="button" value="Rename" />
    </li>
</ul>

Controller:

$scope.rename = function(item, newname_) {
    item.name = newname_;
};
