Angular2 refreshing view on array push

问题

I can't seem to get angular2 view to be updated on an array.push function, called upon from a setInterval async operation.

the code is from this angular plunkr example of setInterval:

What i'm trying to do is as follows:

import {View, Component, bootstrap, Directive, ChangeDetectionStrategy, ChangeDetectorRef} from 'angular2/angular2'

@Component({selector: 'cmp', changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush})
@View({template: `Number of ticks: {{numberOfTicks}}`})
class Cmp {
  numberOfTicks = [];
  
  constructor(private ref: ChangeDetectorRef) {
    setInterval(() => {
      this.numberOfTicks.push(3);
      this.ref.markForCheck();
    }, 1000);
  }
}

@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush
})
@View({
  template: `
    <cmp><cmp>
  `,
  directives: [Cmp]
})
class App {
}

bootstrap(App);

    System.import('app')
      .catch(console.error.bind(console));
  </script>

</head>

<body>
  <app></app>
</body>

</html>

The above code will work properly if "numberOfTicks" is just a number, (as the plunker original example shows) but once I change it to an array and push data, it won't update.

I can't seem to understand why is that.

The following behaviour is similar to an issue I have when trying to update a graph in angular2 with new data points when using setInterval / setTimeout.

Thanks for the help.

You need to update the whole reference of your array after adding an element in it:

  constructor(private ref: ChangeDetectorRef) {
    setInterval(() => {
      this.numberOfTicks.push(3);
      this.numberOfTicks = this.numberOfTicks.slice();
      this.ref.markForCheck();
    }, 1000);
  }
}

Edit

The DoCheck interface could also interest you since it allows you to plug your own change detection algorithm.

See this link for more details:

https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/api/core/DoCheck-interface.html

Here is a sample:

@Component({
  selector: 'custom-check',
  template: `
    <ul>
      <li *ngFor="#line of logs">{{line}}</li>
    </ul>`
})
class CustomCheckComponent implements DoCheck {
  @Input() list: any[];
  differ: any;
  logs = [];

  constructor(differs: IterableDiffers) {
    this.differ = differs.find([]).create(null);
  }

  ngDoCheck() {
    var changes = this.differ.diff(this.list);
    if (changes) {
      changes.forEachAddedItem(r => this.logs.push('added ' + r.item));
      changes.forEachRemovedItem(r => this.logs.push('removed ' + r.item))
    }
  }
}

It is because a number is a JavaScript primitive type, and an array is a JavaScript reference type. When Angular change detection runs, it uses === to determine if a template binding has changed.

If {{numberOfTicks}} is a primitive type, === compares the current and previous values. So the values 0 and 1 are different.

If {{numberOfTicks}} is a reference type, === compares the current and previous (reference) values. So if the array reference didn't change, Angular won't detect a change. In your case, using push(), the array reference isn't changing.

If you put the following in your template instead

<div *ngFor="#tick of numberOfTicks">{{tick}}</div>

then Angular would update the view because there is a binding to each array element, rather then just the array itself. So if a new item is push()ed, or an existing item is deleted or changed, all of these changes will be detected.

So in your chart plunker, the following should update when the contents of the from and to arrays change:

<span *ngFor="#item of from">{{item}}</span>
<span *ngFor="#item of to">{{item}}</span>

Well, it will update if each item is a primitive type.
