Recently, I came across the following code snippet in an Angular tutorial...
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="formCtrl">
<form 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>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();
});
</script>
As for the line
$scope.user = angular.copy($scope.master);$scope.user = $scope.master; since $scope.master is expected to remain constant and immutable in this scenario?
