I have a dynamic text field being added to the DOM (from a directive link function) and I want to retrieve the entered value and add it to a scope object in the controller. However, I am always getting undefined as the value. Here is my code snippet:
<div class="input-group">
<span class="fieldIcon input-group-addon"><i class="fa fa-sticky-note" aria-hidden="true"></i></span>
<select name="addlist[]" multiple="multiple">
<option ng-repeat="options in optionList">{{options.label}}</option>
</select>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
angular.module('myapp')
.controller('AddContactController',[ '$scope', function ($scope) {
$scope.optionList = [{label: 'NewList'}];
$scope.addOption = function(optionList) {
console.log('List:', optionList); // its giving undefined
scope.optionList.push(optionList);
}
}])
.directive('optionList', ['$compile', function ($compile) {
return {
restrict: 'E',
templateUrl: '/templates/int_optionList.html',
controller: 'AddContactController',
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
// Adding input field and on click of a button controllers addOption function should be called with the text field value
var addListField = '<input class="form-control" type="text" ng-modal="addList" name="addList" placeholder="Add new list...">'+
+'<button class="btn btn-default" type="button" ng-click="addOption()">';
addListField = $compile(addListField)(scope);
$(element).find('.multiselect-container').prepend(addListField);
}
}
}]);
</script>
The issue lies within the addOption function where the value for optionList is coming up as undefined.
