Recently, I've been attempting to determine if my form is being edited by monitoring certain fields. I've come across $dirty as a potential solution for this task, but unfortunately, I'm struggling to identify what exactly I'm overlooking here:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<script src= "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.14/angular.min.js"></script>
<body>
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="formCtrl">
<form name = "myForm" novalidate>
First Name:<br>
<input type="text" ng-model="user.firstName"><br>
Last Name:<br>
<input type="text" ng-model="user.lastName">
<br><br>
<button ng-click="reset()">RESET</button>
</form>
<p> is Form dirty? {{isDirty}}<p>
<p>form = {{user }}</p>
<p>master = {{master}}</p>
</div>
<script>
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('formCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.master = {firstName:"John", lastName:"Doe"};
$scope.reset = function() {
$scope.user = angular.copy($scope.master);
};
$scope.reset();
$scope.isDirty = $scope.myForm.$dirty;
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
My goal is to set the flag isDirty to true whenever there is a modification made to the form by the user. Your help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
