In the realm of Controllers resides my beloved home.js:
angular.module("HomeApp", ["BaseApp"])
.controller("MainCtrl", ["$http", "$window", "BaseService", function($http, $window, BaseService) {
var self = this;
self.posts = BaseService.posts;
BaseService.fetch.postsY(function() {
self.posts = BaseService.posts;
});
self.like = function(id, postType) {
BaseService.like(id, postType, function() {
console.log(self.posts);
});
};
}]);
Witness the glory that is BaseService within its own domain (base.js):
angular.module("BaseApp", [])
.factory("BaseService", ["$http", "$window", function($http, $window) {
var self = this;
self.posts = {};
self.cerrorMessages = [];
self.fetch = {
postsY: function(callback) {
$http.get('/postsY/')
.then(function(response) {
self.posts = response.data;
callback();
}, function(response) {
// Handle your errors gracefully.
});
}
};
self.like = function(id, postType, callback) {
$http.post("/" + postType + "/" + id + "/like/")
.then(function(response) {
angular.forEach(self.posts, function(post, index, obj) {
if (post.id == id) {
post.usersVoted.push('voted');
post.voted=true;
};
callback();
});
}, function(response) {
// Manage any mishaps accordingly.
});
};
return self;
}]);
Upon loading home.html (heralding the arrival of home.js), the posts are fetched and displayed with much success. Oddly enough, after engaging in post admiration (by invoking self.like), the posts on home.html shift mysteriously without direct intervention. Notably, I refrained from updating self.posts explicitly in the self.like method callback, yet somehow AngularJS performs these updates automatically. How strange!
Delve further into the depths with @AntonioLaguna's enlightening insights on this matter via AngularJS updates variable in a different file without being instructed to do so
While pondering this enigma, I experimented by altering BaseService.fetch.postsY() as follows:
BaseService.fetch.postsY(function() {
// Silence echoes in the void.
});
Lo and behold, despite binding self.posts to BaseService.posts, the controller's self.posts remained empty post-fetch. Could it be that the magical essence lies within the actions of self.like, which aptly ensures self.posts update on the controller? It remains a fascinating enigma indeed.
