Question

I'm trying to write a directive for dependant select elements. The relationship is Country > States > Cities. When element with class country get changed I should update element with class states and the same behavior for element with class city. To get the states I only need the country id and for get cities I need country and state id's. So I did this code:

app.directive('country', ['$http', function($http) {
        return {
            restrict: 'C',
            link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
                element.change(function() {
                    $http.get(Routing.generate('states') + '/' + element.val()).success(function(data) {
                        if (data.message) {
                            scope.message = data.message;
                        } else {
                            scope.states = data;
                        }
                    }).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
                        if (status == '500') {
                            scope.message = "No hay conexión con el servidor.";
                        }
                    });

                    console.log(scope.states);
                    console.log(scope.message);

                });
            }
        }
    }]);

But console.log() statements logs "undefined" I have some questions around this code and the directive I'm trying to build:

  1. Why scope.states get "undefined" when JSON come with values?
  2. How do I access other select element selected option in order to get "cities"?

Note: app is a Angular module I have defined

EDIT

I rewrite some code and now this is the directive:

app.directive('country', ['$http', function($http) {
        return {
            restrict: 'C',
            link: function($scope, element, attrs) {
                element.change(function() {
                    $http.get(Routing.generate('states') + '/' + element.val()).success(function(data) {
                        if (data.message) {
                            $scope.message = data.message;
                        } else {
                            $scope.states = data;
                        }
                    }).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
                        if (status == '500') {
                            $scope.message = "No hay conexión con el servidor.";
                        }
                    });
                });
            }
        }
    }]);

Im my template I have this HTML:

<select 
     id="common_commonbundle_standard_address_state" 
     ng-model="common_commonbundle_standard_address.state" 
     required="required" 
     ng-disabled="!states" 
     ng-options="state.name for state in states.entities" 
     tooltip="Estado" 
     tooltip-trigger="focus" 
     tooltip-placement="right" 
     wv-def="Estado" 
     wv-cur="" 
     wv-err="Error!" 
     wv-req="The value you selected is not a valid choice" 
     type="text" 
     class="state ng-scope ng-pristine ng-invalid ng-invalid-required"         
     var="common_commonbundle_standard_address.country" 
     disabled="disabled">
</select>

Why, if I do this $scope.states = data and it has values, the select isn't enabled and isn't populated with values?

La solution

like the comment alluded to, you need to move your console logging inside of your success callback. that's just the nature of asynchronous requests.

For 1)

  $http.get(Routing.generate('states') + '/' + element.val()).success(function(data) {
    console.log('success!');
    if (data.message) {
      scope.message = data.message;
    } else {
      scope.states = data;
    }
    console.log(scope.states);
    console.log(scope.message);
  }).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
    if (status == '500') {
      scope.message = "No hay conexión con el servidor.";
    }
  });

For 2) You would want to use whatever is getting set to ng-model
