I am using angular 1.3.15. I want to bind data, such a way that, first time variable($scope.twotap_builtin_cart.sites[sikey].shipping ) assigned data from $scope.shipping_address. Later on even if , variable named $scope.twotap_builtin_cart.sites[sikey].shipping data modified, it should not haveve any impact on other $scope.shipping_address. I am talking about one time binding or one way binding
you should use angular.copy() for deep coping
$scope.shipping_address = angular.copy($scope.twotap_builtin_cart.sites[sikey].shipping)
this way even if $scope.twotap_builtin_cart.sites[sikey].shipping modify its not gonna bind to the $scope.shipping_address
I think that you are not looking for binding but simply assigning a value of a variable to another. When working with JSON objects (and $scope is one such object), making a = b is NOT copying the contents of b to a, but making both a and b reference the same object. The best way is to perform the assignment as:
b = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(a)) ;
In your case:
$scope.twotap_builtin_cart.sites[sikey].shipping = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify($scope.shipping_address)) ;
One you do this, both variables hold the same information but they can be changed without affecting the other.
A similar requirement was asked in this question:
Edit with bootstrap modal and angulajs
Similarly, you can use the AngularJS copy function to replicate your data without any lingering bindings.
$scope.twotap_builtin_cart.sites[sikey].shipping = angular.copy($scope.shipping_address);
Here we are copying the value from $scope.shipping_address into the other variable. Now even if you make a change to $scope.twotap_builtin_cart.sites[sikey].shipping, this will not be reflected in $scope.shipping_address - which is what you want.

I am currently working on a Character Customization System where a HUDLayout dynamically create Widgets based on a set of Skins available for the Character Selected. A Skin is represented as a Struct called MaterialInstanceContainer and holds a TArray. Player can mix and match their selection according to the Body Parts they select. In order to achieve the final result, I want to create a TMap<string, MaterialInstanceContainer> so that I can map each BodyParts available for selection with the individual material instance targeting the same BodyPart.
ISSUE: My issue is as follow, when I try to foreach over my collection of Material Instances inside my Container, I do a string comparison and if the output is valid, I can then break my struct to access the Material Instance Array and ADD to it however, at the very end of the process, the length of the array inside Material Container is still at zero.
How can I add a new entry in the array that my Material Container Struct hold?
Thanks!

The issue here is actually pretty straight forward: in Blueprints when you 'Find' a member of Map you are not getting it by-reference, instead you get the copy.
This is exactly what happens at the end of your nested loop: You get a copy, you add item to it, and when another iteration kicks-in the copy gets terminated.
And here on my side it returns exactly the same result as expected:
The fix for that would be easy:
After editing a Copy, you can overwrite the Map member by its copy (via 'Add' node).
But in your case it will be more tricky. You cannot just plug the same BreakStruct/Array node that you just used because it would call whole Find sequence again which creates another copy. Look
If you are confused. This code actually looks like this for Unreal's point of view.
So you have to store the the Struct in local variable first, then perform any operations on it and after everything is done - overwrite the Map member by its locally stored copy. And the result is
Map member gets overwritten every time and everything is as it should be.
Well, almost... For some reason your code is stored in Macro. I think you have to change it to a Function to be able to create local struct variable. But it shouldn't be a problem in this specific case because in your code there is no logic that needs to be done in macro.
Hope, it helps
My question lies in the following code. Though the code is not working now. I wan't to rewrite it in proper way so that it works.
<span ng-if="community = vm.getCommunity(invite.community_id)!=null" grv-icon-comm-type="vm.communityViewHelper.getTypeIcon(community)" ng-class="vm.communityViewHelper.getColorClass(community)"></span>
In the above code vm.getCommunity(invite.community_id) returns either null or community object. If community object is returned then I wish to call two more function in the same element where I wish to use the recently receivedcommunity value on those two function.
It's just killing my time. Please help.
Alternatively, you could use a watcher on "invite.community_id" to set community inside a controller function. Could look a bit cleaner depending on the rest of the code.
This function could even set all three values if you like.
It seems that angular.copy() is not properly working on one of the items that I am using it on. Here's the sample code and the screenshot that follows.
console.log("Copy");
$scope.traffic_data = traffic_data;
$scope.total_data = total_data;
console.log($scope.traffic_data);
console.log($scope.total_data);
console.log("Original");
$rootScope.original_traffic_data = angular.copy($scope.traffic_data);
$rootScope.original_total_data = angular.copy($scope.total_data);
console.log($rootScope.original_traffic_data);
console.log($rootScope.original_total_data);
console.log("Variable data");
console.log(total_data);
console.log("=============");
The problem I am facing is that the
$rootscope.original_total_data
is not copying the contents of the
$scope.total_data
as seen on the screenshot. I have highlighted the different console logs to differentiate them from one another.
The line
console.log($rootScope.original_total_data);
shows no contents even though I have used angular.copy on that variable.
What am I missing here? Please help. Thanks.
Also $rootScope is already declared in the controller and it is working for the
$rootScope.original_traffic_data
so why is it not working for
$rootScope.original_total_data?
Thanks.
total_data is an array, whereas traffic_data is an object.
angular.copy() distinguishes between arrays and objects. For objects it will copy all the keys (properties). For arrays, it will only copy the array elements and not any custom properties attached to it - see source code.
If you want to set properties on total_data, you should make it into an object instead. It does not appear to have any indexed values, so this should not be a problem, and it probably should have been an object in the first place.
I have the following JavaScript/Angular code:
var a = {};
var b = {};
a.ref = b;
b.ref = a;
angular.copy(a);
When angular.copy fires, the browser locks up. I'm assuming this is because the copy function is doing a deep copy, and when it starts to copy a's reference of b, it goes into b and then wants to copy its reference of a, thus creating a circular copy, which will never end.
Is this assumption right? If so, is there a way to avoid this? I'm assuming the answer will involve changing the way my data looks, but I'm curious to hear another person's thoughts.
Your assumption is right, the problem is the circular reference. JSON.stringify will also complain about this structure. jQuery.extend detects circular references at a very basic level and can handle your basic example here, but jQuery.extend has its own issues as well. If you're already using jQuery, you can just use extend, but otherwise you may want to look at writing something yourself, or you can use this fancy cloneObject function I found via Google:
https://gist.github.com/NV/1396086
_.cloneDeep handles circular references. http://lodash.com/
I have a collection(arraylist) of Ref `s ,the objectify documentation says that I need to initialize collections for them to be persisted and hence modified in the future.....
Now , Ref points to an object but when I launch my app for the first time I dont have any objects in the data store...so whats the best way for me to initialize a dummy value......
Is my assumption that a Ref<> needs to point to a real object in the data store?
Two things:
You should just initialize an empty collection. You don't need to add anything to it. eg, field = new ArrayList<Ref<Thing>>();
It's actually not even required that you initialize the collection. It's just a good idea for reasons that will become apparent if you use the system for a while.
