ng-repeat in <ui-gmap-windows

[wallstudios]

Not sure if this is an issue or if it simply isn't possible.
I'm trying to do a ng-repeat inside of either a <ui-gmap-windows or <ui-gmap-window using a ng-repeat on the marker.

in neither one can I get them to render from the controller.

{{item}}

displays nothing

if I do

{{item}}

it renders 1 1 2 2

any thoughts?

thanks

It needs a separate controller inside it to ng-repeat around.

People have asked this before, search around. Also the button click examples are the same thing.

maybe I'm not getting it.
I can load information from a controller using a unique controller within the windows but I can not get it to ng-repeat at all.
I've search through questions before but have not found a solution. thats why I asked.
thanks.

@wallstudios, same here.. I've looked at past solutions with no concrete example or solution

Perhaps it's a question more for an angularjs forum as I is most likely not specific to angular-google-maps.

Can you guys post your window markup?

So one of the things you'll notice is that you can't use ng-repeat, ng-show, ng-if or a handful of other helpers in the windows directive.

I believe the problem stems from the fact that in order to access model properties we need to use ng-non-bindable which in turn makes it impossible to use ng-repeat, ng-if, etc.

You can provide a controller to the infowindow which will make ng-repeat, ng-show, ng-if all work:
https://github.com/angular-ui/angular-google-maps/blob/master/example/example.html#L66-L71

The problem I'm finding is that when I do that, I can ng-repeat over items in the associated controller but not items that are stored on the property of the model.

Right now, I'm trying to figure out how to pass the scope correctly to the window so that we will be able to access model properties without ng-non-bindable.

Wish me luck.

Luck....

I'm trying to find some time to put together a plunker.

I'll have a look at the example file and see if I can get it to do what I'm after.

[aesnyder]

Luck?

[wallstudios]

@aesnyder you said to wish you luck. so I said luck..

how about good luck. is that better?

[aesnyder]

hah sorry I forgot I said that, too much code!

Also people should note that in order to have a window there is no requirement to use windows with markers. In-fact in most cases it is way more efficient to do the following.

<ui-gmap-markers models="some_models" blah blah></ui-gmap-markers>
<!-- one or many active windows -->
<ui-gmap-window ng-repeat="m in some_active_markers"> </ui-gmap-window>
<!-- one window at all times -->
<ui-gmap-window coords="active_window" > </ui-gmap-window>

If you use windows you are putting all the windows into the dom and memory at once. If you do as noted above you only do 1 - few .

[aesnyder]

will that give us the ability to use ng-if and ng-repeat on model attributes?
