this is my basic scenario. For a list of items (summary view) i want to show details view of item that got clicked on the same page.
I took this jsfiddle example and tra
One way of transforming the example (provided that you want to use ngSwitch) would be:
<ul ng-controller="ListController">
<li ng-repeat="item in items" ng-controller="ItemController">
<div ng-click="open(item)">{{item.content}}</div>
</li>
<hr>
<ng-switch on="anyItemOpen()">
<div ng-switch-when="true">
<div ng-controller="ItemController">
{{opened.name}}: overlay: tweet, share, pin
</div>
<a ng-click="close()">close</a>
</div>
</ng-switch>
</ul>
And here is the working jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/pkozlowski_opensource/sJdzt/4/
Your jsFiddle didn't work since you were trying to reference item
created in the ngRepeat scope (and thus not available outside of the ngRepeat).
