angularjsHow can I use AngularJS to watch for changes in my data?

AngularJS provides a powerful feature called $scope.$watch to watch for changes in data. The $scope.$watch takes a function as its first argument, which is called when the value being watched changes. The second argument is the value being watched.

Example

$scope.$watch(function() {
    return $scope.data;
}, function(newValue, oldValue) {
    console.log("Data changed from " + oldValue + " to " + newValue);
});

Output example

Data changed from oldValue to newValue

This example code uses the $scope.$watch function to watch the value of $scope.data. When the value of $scope.data changes, the function passed as the first argument is called with the new value and the old value. In this example, the function logs a message to the console with the old and new values.

The $scope.$watch function can also take an object as the second argument, which can be used to control how the watch is triggered. The object can have the following properties:

• deep: (boolean) Set to true to watch for changes in the value's properties.
• immediate: (boolean) Set to true to trigger the watch immediately on registration.
• listener: (function) The function to call when the value changes.

For more information, see the AngularJS documentation.
