Widget name/id inside ng:repeat (v0.10.5)

[Stephane Bisson]

Hi,

I am migrating a huge app from 9.19 to 10.5, with the firm intention
of migrating it to 1.0 in the near future. For some reason, for the
time being, I have to keep the ng:validate/$hover behaviour, i.e. the
callout that pops when you hover over an invalid widget.

I have a service strangely similar to the $hover service (R.I.P.) . It
is application wide and give details about the invalid widgets when
you hover over them. This service is trying to get to the widget
instance and its $error object based on the dom element it's hovering
over.

I have a form containing text input inside ng:repeat. I use
name="prefix_{{$index}}" on my inputs so that they have unique names.
I was hoping that they would be registered within the form using that
name but further analysis seems to indicate that the name attribute is
not yet resolved when the widgets gets created. Therefore, the widgets
are simply not accessible from the form object.

Here's the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/stephanebisson/U5TZx/

if I set name="hardcoded" on my inputs the first one will behave as
expected but the subsequent ones will not be added to the form since a
widget with the same name already exist.

ok, but what's your question?

Is there an easier way to accomplish what I am trying to do?

Am I going in the wrong direction considering I also want to migrate
to 1.0?

Any other comments/advice?

thanks,
stephane

I think you should upgrade to 1.0 and here is why. In 1.0:

• each input has a controller. Now you can have a general hover service which looks for the DOM element and retrieves its controller as angular.element(event.targetEvent).inheritData('$ngModelController') This will return http://docs-next.angularjs.org/api/angular.module.ng.$compileProvider.directive.ng-model.NgModelController which is all the information you need to render a proper pop-up.
• You can have multiple directives wit same name. So you can register another ng-model which does the hover service.
