Angularjs: issue with array assignment

Question

i m facing an odd issue, i have defined an object (globally for application) that holds array object looks like

var _global = {
        document: {}, // represent selected item
    };

and in my service i have something like this

_global.document.signers =[{name:'test',email:'[email protected]'}];

its working fine. now if i push element like

_global.document.signers.push({name:'test',email:'[email protected]'});

and in controller i use

var signers = _global.document.signers;

it works fine . view gets updated with new values

but in case if i do something

_global.document.signers = [{name:'newTest',email:'[email protected]'}];

global object gets updated but view doesn't render new values and if i change it to push view starts rendering new values

can some one guide me wat i m doing wrong . any help will be appreciated

Thanks @shani for help i have solved it using

var draft = globalService.getGlobal(); //global service for maintaining global objects
$scope.draft = draft;

and in view

 <ul class="list-unstyled font-11px" >
       <li ng-repeat="(signerIndex, signer) in draft.document.signers">
    </li></ul>

First , do not use global variables, use a service! Second it is probably a $watch issue so post your controller / view code — Ilan Frumer

Assign your global object to your controller scope, as services are singletons if there is change in service objects, your controller will automatically react to it.
