Watch multiple $scope attributes

问题

Is there a way to subscribe to events on multiple objects using $watch

E.g.

$scope.$watch('item1, item2', function () { });

回答1:

Starting from AngularJS 1.3 there's a new method called $watchGroup for observing a set of expressions.

$scope.foo = 'foo';
$scope.bar = 'bar';

$scope.$watchGroup(['foo', 'bar'], function(newValues, oldValues, scope) {
  // newValues array contains the current values of the watch expressions
  // with the indexes matching those of the watchExpression array
  // i.e.
  // newValues[0] -> $scope.foo 
  // and 
  // newValues[1] -> $scope.bar 
});

回答2:

Beginning with AngularJS 1.1.4 you can use $watchCollection:

$scope.$watchCollection('[item1, item2]', function(newValues, oldValues){
    // do stuff here
    // newValues and oldValues contain the new and respectively old value
    // of the observed collection array
});

$watch first parameter can also be a function.

$scope.$watch(function watchBothItems() {
  return itemsCombinedValue();
}, function whenItemsChange() {
  //stuff
});

If your two combined values are simple, the first parameter is just an angular expression normally. For example, firstName and lastName:

$scope.$watch('firstName + lastName', function() {
  //stuff
});

Here's a solution very similar to your original pseudo-code that actually works:

$scope.$watch('[item1, item2] | json', function () { });

EDIT: Okay, I think this is even better:

$scope.$watch('[item1, item2]', function () { }, true);

Basically we're skipping the json step, which seemed dumb to begin with, but it wasn't working without it. They key is the often omitted 3rd parameter which turns on object equality as opposed to reference equality. Then the comparisons between our created array objects actually work right.

You can use functions in $watchGroup to select fields of an object in scope.

        $scope.$watchGroup(
        [function () { return _this.$scope.ViewModel.Monitor1Scale; },   
         function () { return _this.$scope.ViewModel.Monitor2Scale; }],  
         function (newVal, oldVal, scope) 
         {
             if (newVal != oldVal) {
                 _this.updateMonitorScales();
             }
         });

回答6:

Why not simply wrap it in a forEach?

angular.forEach(['a', 'b', 'c'], function (key) {
  scope.$watch(key, function (v) {
    changed();
  });
});

It's about the same overhead as providing a function for the combined value, without actually having to worry about the value composition.

回答7:

A slightly safer solution to combine values might be to use the following as your $watch function:

function() { return angular.toJson([item1, item2]) }

$scope.$watch(
  function() {
    return angular.toJson([item1, item2]);
  },
  function() {
    // Stuff to do after either value changes
  });

回答8:

$watch first parameter can be angular expression or function. See documentation on $scope.$watch. It contains a lot of useful info about how $watch method works: when watchExpression is called, how angular compares results, etc.

回答9:

how about:

scope.$watch(function() { 
   return { 
      a: thing-one, 
      b: thing-two, 
      c: red-fish, 
      d: blue-fish 
   }; 
}, listener...);

回答10:

$scope.$watch('age + name', function () {
  //called when name or age changed
});

Here function will get called when both age and name value get changed.

回答11:

Angular introduced $watchGroup in version 1.3 using which we can watch multiple variables, with a single $watchGroup block $watchGroup takes array as first parameter in which we can include all of our variables to watch.

$scope.$watchGroup(['var1','var2'],function(newVals,oldVals){
   console.log("new value of var1 = " newVals[0]);
   console.log("new value of var2 = " newVals[1]);
   console.log("old value of var1 = " oldVals[0]);
   console.log("old value of var2 = " oldVals[1]);
});
