angularjsHow do I implement change detection in AngularJS?
Change detection in AngularJS is a feature that allows the framework to detect when a property of an object changes and take appropriate action.
To implement change detection in AngularJS, we must first use the $watch
method on the scope of the controller. This method takes two parameters: the first is the expression to watch, and the second is the function to call when the expression changes.
For example:
$scope.$watch('name', function(newValue, oldValue) {
console.log('Name changed from ' + oldValue + ' to ' + newValue);
});
In this example, the $watch
method is used to detect when the name
property of the scope changes. When it does, the function provided as the second parameter will be called, and the new and old values of the property will be passed as parameters.
The $watch
method is the most basic way to implement change detection in AngularJS, but it can also be done using $watchCollection
and $watchGroup
.
$watchCollection
: monitors a collection of objects and calls the callback function when an item is added, removed, or changed.$watchGroup
: monitors a collection of expressions and calls the callback function when any of the expressions change.
