Yes. Use a service. If it's not working for you then you are coding it
wrong. My guess is not understanding object inheritance and losing a
reference to primitive values
My examples are not full blown, but hopefully the details will help you see
what you need:
function EmailService(){
var emailObject = {
emails: [],
currentView: 'inbox',
folders: []
}
return {
emails: emailObject.emails,
setCurrentView: function(view){
emailObject.currentView = view;
},
folders: emailObject.folders
}
}
function InboxCtrl($scope, MyService){
$scope.emails = MyService.emails;
//now whatever you do on the scope will reflect in the service emails
and will remain there when reloaded
$scope.emails.push({'from': 'bob', message: 'Hi Larry!'});
$scope.folders = MyService.folders;
$scope.userClickedFolder(folder){
MyService.setCurrentView(folder)
}
}
function OtherCtrl(){
}
