AngularJS : Binding an input with variable made variable undefined - angularjs

I am new to AngularJS, and I have a problem with ng-model.
Here's my code:
<section class="field row" ng-repeat="field in fields">
<input class="value" ng-show="editMode" placeholder="{{field.name}}" ng-model="field.value" type="url" />
</section>
As you can see, I'm looping through $scope.fields which I got from the server and is an array of about 40 objects that have keys like name and value.
Inside the section I have an input, which has the ng-model property set to field.value. When the server gives a value to the field, it is shown inside the input.
At some point I want to update the user's changes, by sending $scope.fields back to the server.
However, when the user changes something in the inputs, the value for the changes fields becomes undefined.
I hope this describes my problem well enough.
Thanks!

To get the changes, you should pass the original object name i.e fields. Refer below calling fn
ng-click="save(fields)"

The reason this caused a problem is simply because the input was a URL input and I was typing simple "hello" strings to test it, instead of typing URLS. Apparently AngulaeJS only puts the answer in the model if it matches the field type.

AngularJS - independent input for same ng-model

I am really new to AngularJS so my question might be a bit silly. I am trying to solve a problem where I have two input fields which uses the same ng-model and I'd like the put value in one field not have the other input field displaying that value. I know it is desired that when I type in some value in one of the input fields it automatically reflects in the other. I wonder if there's any work around so that when I put value in one input, it does not show up in the other input field.
Here's how you can achieve this:
<input ng-model="foo">
<input value="{{::foo}}">
The second inputs' value will be set to the initial value of foo but it's one time bound. Changing foo after this will no longer affect it.
Furthermore, if you want the second input to update the first but the first not to update the second, you could go:
<input ng-model="foo">
<input ng-init="bar=foo"
ng-model="bar"
on-change="updateFoo()">
// And, inside controller:
$scope.updateFoo = function() {
$scope.foo = $scope.bar;
};

How to get form data in dynamic form in Angularjs?

I have created dynamic form, here I want to send form data to controller. How can do this?
Here is plunker code link https://plnkr.co/edit/xmxDJHTPfJoSFwa2FWCB?p=preview
Issues:
when I change the value then element label also change.
How can I get the form data in product_submit function of controller.
All response appreciated.
Use
<input type="text"
id="module_module"
ng-model="getCol.value"
required="required"
class="form-control col-md-7 col-xs-12"
placeholder="Enter {{getCol.Field}}"
/>
Look here ng-model="getCol.value". You are using filed name as text field model value. Filed name and value are different. That is what you want I suppose.
You can access the values easily from your controller as $scope.getColumn[1].value. Change index or iterate accordingly.
Plunker here
To solve label issues, in your html, I changed ng-model expression to bound into getColumn.Value
In controller, I can read value entered in scope.getColumn[i].Value
I also updated code https://plnkr.co/edit/KlhAb69seMzHsLuhqweR?p=preview

AngularJS: Why I can't print a model variable directly (instead of using $modelValue property)?

In my view I have this form:
<form name="form1">
<input name="msg" id="msg" ng-model="form_data.msg">
</form>
In my controller I get the content of the input by
var message= $scope.form1.msg;
however when I insert some text (e.g. "test_abc") and try to print the contentof the input (within the controller), I get an object instead of the actual value. In fact
console.log(messageToSend);
gives this output
[DEBUG] message >>: [object Object]
controllers.js:646 Object {$viewValue: "test_abc", $modelValue: "test_abc", $$rawModelValue: "test_abc", $validators: Object, $asyncValidators: Object…}
Of course I can just get $modelValue, but I noticed that (sometimes) I can work with the model value (just by using $scope.modelVarName) it instead of printing it.
Sorry if this is quite vague but I can't find a concrete example right now.
However, just to sum up, I need to understand: is there a way (other than using .$modelValue property) to retrieve (within the controller) a model variable defined (in a form within a view)?
<input name=msg ng-model="form_data.msg"> with this markup the value of the input will be updated in the controller scope's form_data.msg property. [form_data is an object].
Angular will update the validation related info of the input field in form1.msg of controller's scope. Here form1 is the name of the form and msg is the name of the message. This is not the actual model. Your actual model is form_data.msg. form1.msg will contain the validation related information.
If you want to print the model use form_data.msg not form1.msg
I use your code in jsfiddle and it worked, with a little changes, I just define app and use
{{form1.msg}}
to print the value.
Here's the jsfiddle:

ng-model preventing ng-value to be displayed

I'm pretty new to angular world and I have an issue with it.
I'm working with ejs too.
I have an input that I want to fill (value) with an ng-model.
The problem is my model is empty while the user doesn't specify a value.
I want to display a default value when my model is empty. This default value is sending by the ejs (server side). Doing that, I can't set a default value in my controller.
To do so I wrote the following :
<input type="text" ng-model="owner_adress" ng-value="'{{owner_adress || '<%=user.owner_adress%>'}}'"/>
If I look into my code, I can see the value is okay (ejs result when my model is empty, my model value otherwise) but the value is not displayed in my input (ie the user can't see it).
I looked for a work around (ng-cloak was fine but I can't use it in my input field).
Any clue would be nice !
Use ngInit directive instead. If owner_adress is defined in controller it will be used, otherwise it will default to serverside rendered value:
<input ng-model="owner_adress" type="text"
ng-init="owner_adress = owner_adress || '<%=user.owner_adress%>'"/>

Angular databinding as a function argument not working

<input type="text" value="{{codes[0].code}}" ng-click="newNumber(0)" />
<input type="text" value="{{codes[1].code}}" ng-click="newNumber({{codes[1].id}})" />
The first ng-click event fires in my controller just fine but the second one does nothing.
I tried concat'ing as well ... is there some other way I should do this?
ng-click
The value of ng-click is already evaluated as an angular expression. As such, you don't need the {{ }}. Read http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/expression for more information. Take a look at the second example, it will help clarify this.
ng-model
Also, ng-model should be used for data-binding. For example, take a look at this jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/bCpW9/8/ and the notes below.
<li ng-repeat="code in codes">
This loops through the codes collection which was defined in the controller. It creates a <li> for each element in the codes collection.
<input ng-model="codes[$index].code" />
Inside each <li>, an <input> for the current code is created. Each input is bound to it's corresponding element in the codes array by setting ng-model to it. For instance, type a new code into the first input field. It automatically updates the corresponding code model with what you typed, as you can see to the right.
I hope that helps.
