Two instances of same directive overwrite each other





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;

I am using same directive for multiple instances of a toolbar. A toolbar has a button with a toggle functionality. So, if a first click does 'add' then another click does 'remove'. Here is a simplified directive that I am using:



a.directive("trendChartToolbar", function ($templateRequest, $compile) {
return {
scope: {
},
link: function (scope, elem, attrs) {
templateSRC = 'templateSRC.html';
$templateRequest(templateSRC).then(function (html) {
var template = angular.element(html);
$(elem).append(template);
template = $compile(template)(scope);
angular.element(elem).on('click', function (event) {
if (scope.state === undefined)
scope.state = true;
else
scope.state = !scope.state;
service.someMethod(event.target.name, scope);
});
});
}
};
});


Here is the template:



<div>
<img style="cursor:pointer;margin-right:10px" name="deviation"
src="image.svg" />
</div>


As long as only one instance of the directive exists everything works fine. scope.state changes from true to false and back. But if another instance exists then when I click on the first instance second time the scope has state property undefined. My expectation was that as long as I am using an isolated scope it would work. Any idea?



Thanks

  • Why are you attaching the click handler inside the .then block? Why not attach it immediately?

  • Why are you compiling the template? It doesn't have any AngularJS directives on it.

  • Yes, I dont have to compile, but it doesn't affect the problem. $templateRequest returns a promise that needs to resolve before using the loaded template.

  • Sure seems more complex than using simple ng-click. Also don't need $templateCache if you use templateUrl in directive config

  • You are passing a scope reference to service.someMethod. (Not a great practice.) That method is likely modifying the contents of the scope object and is likely the source of the problem.
