Custom grid editor plugin with isolated directive using ng-model

Hello again everyone. I have so many angular questions ;)

This time i am trying to make a directive like the spectrum color picker. I want to be able to use this directive multiple times in the main controller. The problem is when i dont use an isolated scope then the value update all fields using the same directive. And if i use an isolated scope, then my ng-model contains nothing.

This is what i got. And i have tried to make it as simple as possible.

/* Controller */
angular.module("umbraco").controller("MyPluginController", function ($scope) {

    $scope.control.value = $scope.control.value || [];

    $scope.onFakeClick = function () {
        $scope.control.value.push({value: $scope.fakeValue});
        $scope.fakeValue = "";
    }

});

/* Controller View */
<div ng-controller="MyPluginController">
    <my-directive ng-model="fakeValue" />
    <button type="button" class="btn-primary" ng-click="onFakeClick()">Add</button>
</div>

/* Directive */
angular.module("umbraco.directives").directive('myDirective', function (assetsService) {
    return {
        restrict: 'E',
        replace: true,
        templateUrl: '/.../template.html',
        require: "ngModel",
        scope: {},
        link: function (scope, element, attr, ctrl) {

            ctrl.$render = function () {

                scope.inputValue = ctrl.$viewValue;

                assetsService.load(["/.../javascript.js"]).then(function () {

                    var ele = element.find('input[name="fakeInput_' + scope.$id + '"]');

                    ele.val(ctrl.$viewValue);

                    ele.on('change', function () {
                        scope.inputValue = ele.val();
                        ctrl.$setViewValue(scope.inputValue);
                    }); 

                });

                assetsService.loadCss("/.../style.css");

            };          
        }
    };
});

/* Directive Template */
<div>
    <input ng-model="inputValue" name="fakeInput_{{$id}}" />    
</div>

Can anyone tell me what i have to do? Thanks!

Hi Bo,

Did you manage to get it working? I'm having a simular question when using a directive that I've developed using an isolated scope, when it renders the templateUrl view the associated ng-controller doesn't have the properties that I set using the isolated scope.
```
angular.module('umbraco').directive('lwMemberpicker', function () {
return {
    scope: {
        model: '='
    },
    //transclude: true,
    restrict: 'E',
    replace: true,
    templateUrl: 'views/propertyeditors/memberpicker/memberpicker.html' 
};});
```
I pass a value to the model, but then in the memberpicker.controller it has no 'model' property in the $scope.

Thanks

Hi Nandoh.

Yes i got it working. But forgot to put the result here.

In my case it was like this

/* Directive */
angular.module("umbraco.directives").directive('myDirective', function (assetsService) {
    return {
        restrict: 'EA',
        replace: true,
        templateUrl: '/.../template.html',
        require: "ngModel",
        scope: {
            ngModel: '=ngModel'
        },
        link: function (scope, element, attr, ctrl) {

            var myNgModel = scope.ngModel; // Get value 
            scope.ngModel = "My new value"; // Set value

        }
    };
});

Thank you very much for your answer :)

Let me ask you one final question...in your 'template-html', do you have any ng-controller initialisation? I assume not, according to the markup in your first post :)

Thanks. Regards

Right.

I do not use ng-controller for my directives, just a div.

In a simple input i would do this.
```
<div>
    <input ng-model="ngModel" name="fakeInput_{{$id}}" />    
</div>
```
If its simple like this you could also remove the templateUrl and just use it directly in your html <input type="text" my-directive ng-model="myModel" /> or <div my-directive ng-model="myModel"></div>, Just remeber to use transclude if you have something inside the div.

Cheers.
