I have a rather big Json object that I am receiving via $http that I want to share between 2 controllers. To give you an idea - both controllers share the parent most array (marked as levels), and then within the levels there are key:values with nested arrays ( 2 of them) and each controller uses and edits them separately. I am trying to consolidate this as much as possible so I thought if i could control 1 json between 2 controllers this would work.
I want to be able to edits each sub array and push back to the server as a whole, but before I attempt this step I would like to be sure something like this is even possible. I have tried using a factory and service to no avail. I am slo curious if I can do this and I bring in the array - is it 2 way binded? The first controller should be able to add more levels, and the second one can add to them in a differen't way the first one can't. If I were to bring in the json and share it between controllers and added a level on the first one, would it show on the second?
I have been banging my head against this for a while now, so any insight or direction would be very appreciated. Thanks!!
I took a stab at what the json might look like (forgive me if the syntax is off)-
{
"level1": {
"form": {
"form1": "sample1",
"form2": "sample2",
"form3": 500,
"form4": 500
}
"sublevels": {
"subL": ["1", "2", "3"],
"help1": "main_window",
"help2": 500
}},
"level2": {
"form": {
"form1": "sample1",
"form2": "sample2",
"form3": 500,
"form4": 500
}
"sublevels": {
"subL": ["1", "2", "3"],
"help1": "main_window",
"help2": 500
}
}
}
so both controllers would build off the levels, something like "level in levels" ng-repeat type scenario, but controller 1 would use the "Form" key, and controller 2 would use the "subevels" keys. they would be able to edit those sections and post the whole sting back to the server for a save. I don't have much else because the factories/services I Tried to setup didn't seem to work at all. Thanks!
