Event is not working during ng-change

[Kingsly Azariah]

I have 3 three checkbox on ng-change/ng-click the $event is passed as parameter, $event is undefined during ng-change event but it works fine for ng-click.

Code is the below URL
http://jsfiddle.net/kingsly/cv5Gp/12/
first checkbox has ng-change
next two checkbox ng-click

Hi Kingsly, 

The documentation for ngClick mentions

Event object is available as $event

The documentation for ngChange does not mention that the event object is available.

That explains the behaviour that you are seeing.

Hi Kingsly,

ngChange is an directive, not an event-handler. The working is quite different. ngChange works by setting an scope.$watch, ngClick works by catching an event. 

This behaviour is as documented, so this is a feature, not a bug.

I understand your confusion, it's an easily made mistake. If you want, you can create your own event handler using a (there is some irony here ;)) directive!

What is it you are trying to accomplish? Perhaps I can help you finding an alternative solution.

Hi Sander

    I need to know which check box(id) was clicked during ngChange, I cannot us ng-click.

Hi,

It is not that hard to make your own directive to do just that:

However, I think you are still stuck in a jQuery way of thinking. This kind of things you seldom need in angular!

I think this is a bug, no a feature.
