angularjs - Resetting form controls after action in Angular -

need bit of this. trying angular reset value of input box after add control invoked. kind of important when comes drop down select boxes. want able clear user has selected after option pushed collection.

i seems have issue user.fname updating whatever added users array it's related above.

also can see doing wrong ng-show?

html

<div ng-controller="usercontroller" name="form">   <div ng-show="form.fname.$touched">hello {{ user.fname }}</div>   <input type="text" name="fname" ng-model="user.fname">   <a ng-click="adduser(user)">add</a>     <br>   <div ng-repeat="user in users">{{ user }}</div> </div> 

javascript

function usercontroller($scope) {   //$scope.user = {   //    fname: "joe",   //    lname: "doe"   //};   $scope.users = [];   $scope.adduser = function (user) {     if($scope.users.indexof(user) === -1){       $scope.users.push(user);     } else {       // trigger error/notification message       console.log(user, ' added');     }     user = {}; //clear user   }; } 

ngmodel try bind property given evaluating expression on current scope. if property doesn't exist on scope, created implicitly , added scope.

you not using scoped property in click action copy passed parameter. change user $scope.user in adduser method

note: object comparison identify added users won't work create new objects never match. change different comparison method comparing fname properties.

html

<div ng-controller="usercontroller" name="form">   <div ng-show="form.fname.$touched">hello {{ user.fname }}</div>   <input type="text" name="fname" ng-model="user.fname">   <a ng-click="adduser()">add</a>     <br>   <div ng-repeat="user in users">{{ user }}</div> </div> 

javascript

function usercontroller($scope) {     $scope.users = [];     $scope.adduser = function () {         if($scope.users.indexof($scope.user) === -1){           $scope.users.push($scope.user);         } else {           // never match indexof() return -1           console.log($scope.user, ' added');         }         $scope.user = {}; //clear user     }; }

as ng-show question: $touched introduced in angularjs 1.3 , you're referencing angularjs 1.2.x in plunker code.
