Trying to figure out how to dynamically change templates inside a directive using ng-include. With two Plunker examples, it should work the same but doesn't.
HTML for both Examples:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.26/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="script.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<main></main>
</body>
</html>
Example #1: http://plnkr.co/edit/bi3Plrm8xufuN79Nvajj?p=preview
Setting up two directives (one main, and one nested as a child):
angular.module('myApp', ['Test']);
angular.module('Test', [])
.directive('main', [
function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
template: '<input type="text" ng-model="myModel"><br><br><child></child>'
};
}
])
.directive('child', [
function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
template: '<input type="text" ng-model="myModel">'
};
}
]);
In Example #1, both fields populate correctly as the model changes.
Example #2: http://plnkr.co/edit/3ajcTyfJElEzbqvsWwBM?p=preview
The HTML remains the same, but the JavaScript is slightly different:
angular.module('myApp', ['Test']);
angular.module('Test', [])
.directive('main', [
function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
template: '<input type="text" ng-model="myModel"><br><br><child></child>'
};
}
])
.directive('child', [
function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
controller: function($scope) {
$scope.myTemplate = 'test-template.html'
},
template: "<div ng-include='myTemplate'></div>"
};
}
]);
When interacting with the second input generated by `ng-include, I lose all binding. How can this be avoided?
