Below is the AngularJS controller code written in Typescript:
/// <reference path='../../definitions.d.ts' />
module baseApp.viewControls.products {
export interface IProductsScope extends IAppScope {
vm: {
products: Array<common.models.IProduct>;
}
}
export class ProductsController extends base.BaseController {
public products: Array<common.models.IProduct>;
public ProductRepository: common.repositories.ProductRepository = new common.repositories.ProductRepository();
constructor(public $scope: IProductsScope, private $state: ng.ui.IStateService) {
super();
this.ProductRepository.all().then((products: Array<common.models.IProduct>) => {
this.products = products;
$scope.vm = this;
});
}
}
function setRouteState($stateProvider:ng.ui.IStateProvider) {
var state: ng.ui.IState = {
url: '/products',
views: {
mainContent: {
templateUrl: 'viewcontrols/products/products.html',
controller: 'ProductsController'
}
},
cache: false
};
$stateProvider.state('app.products', state);
}
export var productsComponentModule:ng.IModule = angular.module('baseApp.viewControls.products', [
]);
productsComponentModule.controller('ProductsController', ProductsController);
productsComponentModule.config(setRouteState);
}
The key part here is the ProductsController constructor. In this controller, I assign an Array of objects to this.products, and set $scope.vm to this. The goal is to have access to vm.products in the view. When checking $scope.vm.products in the controller, everything seems fine. Here's the relevant snippet from the view:
<li ng-repeat="product in vm.products">
{{product.modelNumber}}
</li>
Despite the data appearing as expected in the controller, the view remains empty. Interestingly, upon refreshing the browser, the code occasionally works about 1 out of 10 times. This inconsistency suggests that two-way data binding may not be functioning correctly, potentially due to a race condition where rendering occurs before vm.products is fully set.
What might be causing the issue preventing the consistent rendering of products?
