I have a simple list of items and want to have a button in the header that shows and hides a delete button next to each list item. My header and content are made up of separate views.
After much reading, it seems a controller is attached to a view rather than a state, so I need to have a separate controller for each view (one controller for the header and one controller for the content). As I can't share variables between controllers, what is the best way to have a button in one view (header.html) show/hide buttons in a list in a different view (content.html)?
My HTML is below:
index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no, width=device-width">
<title></title>
<link href="lib/ionic/css/ionic.css" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
<!-- IF using Sass (run gulp sass first), then uncomment below and remove the CSS includes above
<link href="css/ionic.app.css" rel="stylesheet">
-->
<!--For users deploying their apps to Windows 8.1 or Android Gingerbread, platformOverrided.js
will inject platform-specific code from the /merges folder -->
<script src="js/platformOverrides.js"></script>
<!-- ionic/angularjs js -->
<script src="lib/ionic/js/ionic.bundle.js"></script>
<script src="Scripts/angular-resource.min.js"></script>
<!-- cordova script (this will be a 404 during development) -->
<script src="cordova.js"></script>
<!-- your app's js -->
<script src="js/app.js"></script>
<script src="js/controllers.js"></script>
<script src="js/services.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-app="starter">
<ion-view view-title="Playlists">
<div ui-view="header"></div>
<div ui-view="content"></div>
</ion-view>
</body>
</html>
header.html
<ion-header-bar class="bar-positive">
<div class="buttons">
<button class="button button-icon icon ion-ios-minus-outline"
ng-click="data.showDelete = !data.showDelete"></button>
</div>
<h1 class="title">my test app</h1>
</ion-header-bar>
content.html
<ion-content class="has-header has-footer" overflow-scroll="true">
<ion-list show-delete="data.showDelete">
<ion-item ng-repeat="movie in movies" href="#/home/{{movie.id}}">
{{movie.title}}
<ion-delete-button class="ion-minus-circled"
ng-click="onItemDelete(movie)">
</ion-delete-button>
<ion-option-button class="button-assertive" ui-sref="editMovie({id:movie.id})">Edit</ion-option-button>
</ion-item>
</ion-list>
</ion-content>
and my js is below.....
app.js
angular.module('starter', ['ionic', 'ngResource', 'starter.controllers', 'starter.services'])
.run(function($ionicPlatform) {
$ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
// Hide the accessory bar by default (remove this to show the accessory bar above the keyboard
// for form inputs)
if (cordova.platformId === "ios" && window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
cordova.plugins.Keyboard.disableScroll(true);
}
if (window.StatusBar) {
// org.apache.cordova.statusbar required
StatusBar.styleDefault();
}
});
})
.config(function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
// if none of the above states are matched, use this as the fallback
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/');
$stateProvider
.state('home', {
url: '/',
views: {
'header': {
templateUrl: 'templates/header.html',
controller: 'headerCtrl'
},
'content': {
templateUrl: 'templates/content.html',
controller: 'contentCtrl'
},
'footer': {
templateUrl: 'templates/footer.html'
}
}
});
});
controllers.js
angular.module('starter.controllers', [])
.controller('headerCtrl', function ($scope) {
$scope.showDelete = function () {
$scope.data.showDelete = !$scope.data.showDelete;
};
})
.controller('contentCtrl', function ($scope, $state, $stateParams, Movie) {
// populate list withg all items from database
$scope.movies = Movie.query();
// handle delete button click
$scope.onItemDelete = function (movie) {
$scope.movies.splice($scope.movies.indexOf(movie), 1);
movie.$delete();
$scope.data.showDelete = false;
};
});
