sending a arrayIndex as a parameter to onclick button function

[franklopez]

Hi I have this issue:

form:
{
"type": "button",
"htmlClass" : "bt-down",
"onClick" : "showCountries(arrayIndex)",
"icon": "fa fa-search"
}

this in inside an array, and i want to call showCountries(arrayIndex) and have the index array value in my function how can i do this?

regards,

Have you tried $index? I know that is available for a tabarray, I would assume it is for any array, but haven't checked.

nope it doesn't work either the value comes undefined to the function:

$scope.showCountries = function(index) {

Can you provide a more detailed example of what you are doing, like a plunker or something similar? May help to see where the problem is.

@Anthropic I can give an example:

I want to open a website based on the input in the form.
If the user enters in the text field "www.reddit.com" I want to launch a onClick method launchWebsite(url);
However, this is in an array so my onClick method looks like:
launchWebsite(model.websites[indexArray].url);

indexArray returns as undefined in the onClick method though.
If I put "condition": "model.websites[indexArray].url" this works fine for hiding or showing the button, for example. But the onClick method does not understand indexArray.

Additionally, $index and index are both undefined for onClick on both array and tabarray types. So that didn't work either.

I'm hoping @davidlgj or another expert might be able to chime in on this?

Thanks @franklopez @vinceis1337 I will look into it, I have added this to a copy locally and so far so good, I am hoping it can be done as part of PR #652

Has anyone had any success with passing the arrayindex / $index as a parameter to a function?

@coxrichuk it is partially working in the webpack branch but at the same time it has other things broken. But you could certainly take a look there for ideas on how it was fixed, but there are also other questions asked in issues that also provide further info on how it can be overcome.
