I'm just starting to play around with AngularJS and trying to understand the binding technique. For starters, I tried to make a simple conversion calculator (dozens to pieces, pieces to dozens). That worked well, but when I tried to bind both a range input and a number input to the same model property the number input does not update when the range value is adjusted. I have a jsfiddle showing the behavior:
common javascript for broken and working fiddles:
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.controller('CalcCtrl', function ($scope) {
var num = 0.0;
$scope.qty = new Quantity(12);
$scope.num = num;
});
function Quantity(numOfPcs) {
var qty = numOfPcs;
var dozens = numOfPcs / 12;
this.__defineGetter__("qty", function () {
return qty;
});
this.__defineSetter__("qty", function (val) {
qty = val;
dozens = val / 12;
});
this.__defineGetter__("dozens", function () {
return dozens;
});
this.__defineSetter__("dozens", function (val) {
dozens = val;
qty = val * 12;
});
}
html:
<div ng-controller="CalcCtrl">
<form>
<label for="pcs">Pieces:</label>
<input type="number" min="0" ng-model="qty.qty" size="20" id="pcs"
/>
<input type="range" min="0" max="100" ng-model="qty.qty" />
<br/>
<label for="numOfDozens">Dozens</label>
<input type="number" min="0" ng-model="qty.dozens" size="20"
id="numOfDozens" />
</form>
</div>
However, binding two number inputs to the same model property seems to work fine as shown in this fiddle:
html:
<div ng-controller="CalcCtrl">
<form>
<label for="pcs">Pieces:</label>
<input type="number" min="0" ng-model="qty.qty" size="20" id="pcs"
/>
<input type="number" min="0" max="100" ng-model="qty.qty" />
<br/>
<label for="numOfDozens">Dozens</label>
<input type="number" min="0" ng-model="qty.dozens" size="20"
id="numOfDozens" />
</form>
</div>
Any ideas how to get a range and number input bound to a single model property in AngularJS? Thanks.
