ng-click showing all the hidden text field on ng-repeat rather than one in Angular - angularjs

Question

I started to work with Angular, it's pretty good to implement, I stuck with a single issue at ng-click
I am getting data dynamically and showing with ng-repeat, and I want to update the data at pencil click and for it I am using input text element, but when I click on pencil It's opening all the text fields
Here is my HTML code
<
div ng-repeat="item in scroller.items track by $index">
<div class="secHead text-center">
<button class="common btnDarkGrey" data-ng-hide="hideCatButton">{{item.category_name}}</button>
<input type="text" id="focus-{{$index}}" class="common btnDarkGrey editDashboardCategory" name="editCategory" value="" data-ng-model="item.category_name" data-ng-show="hideField">
<span data-ng-click="updateCategory(item.category_id,item.category_name,$index)" class="chkOneDone" data-ng-show="hideOkButton">Done</span>
<div class="pull-right">
</div>
</div>
</div>
And here I Angular code
$scope.updateCategory=function(category_id,updated_cat_name, $index){
Category.updateCat($rootScope,$scope,$index,$http,$timeout,updated_cat_name,old_cat_name,category_id);
};
$scope.updatePen=function($index){
old_cat_name=$scope.scroller.items[$index].category_name
$scope.hideField=true;
$rootScope.hideOkButton=true;
$rootScope.hideCatButton=true;
};
I created a Category service to perform task like update
I didn't get any proper solution yet.
Can anybody help me?
Thank You.

If you only want to hide/show one of the elements in the list you need to specify that in some fashion. Right now you have a three rootScope booleans:
$scope.hideField=true;
$rootScope.hideOkButton=true;
$rootScope.hideCatButton=true;
being set for the entire list, and you need to set a show properties on each individual in the list.
In your controller function you can do something like this before you expect a click:
//normal for loop so that you have the index
for(var i=0; i < $scope.scroller.items.length; i++){
$scope.scroller.items[i].show = false;
}
Then you can do something like this to actually show the fields:
HTML:
div ng-repeat="item in scroller.items track by $index">
<div class="secHead text-center">
<button class="common btnDarkGrey" ng-hide="!item.show">
{{item.category_name}}</button>
<input type="text" id="focus-{{$index}}" class="common btnDarkGrey editDashboardCategory" name="editCategory" value="" ng-model="item.category_name" ng-hide="!item.show">
<span data-ng-click="updateCategory(item.category_id,item.category_name,$index)" class="chkOneDone" ng-show="item.show">Done</span>
<div class="pull-right">
</div>
</div>
</div>
Controller:
//controller declaration --
$scope.updatePen = function(index){
$scope.scroller.items[index].show = true;
};
It's my understanding that you need all three properties to show once a click happens, so I condensed all the show properties into one single show property.
Your view only sees that hideField is true and performs that action for all of the items in your array. I hope this helps!
