Adding parameter to ng-click function inside ng-repeat doesn't seem to work


Instead of

<button ng-click="removeTask({{task.id}})">remove</button>

do this:

<button ng-click="removeTask(task.id)">remove</button>

Please see this fiddle:

One thing that really hung me up, was when I inspected this html in the browser, instead of seeing it expanded to something like:

<button ng-click="removeTask(1234)">remove</button>

I saw:

<button ng-click="removeTask(task.id)">remove</button>

However, the latter works!

This is because you are in the "Angular World", when inside ng-click="" Angular all ready knows about task.id as you are inside it's model. There is no need to use Data binding, as in {{}}.

Further, if you wanted to pass the task object itself, you can like:

<button ng-click="removeTask(task)">remove</button>


Also worth noting, for people who find this in their searches, is this...

<div ng-repeat="button in buttons" class="bb-button" ng-click="goTo(button.path)">  <div class="bb-button-label">{{ button.label }}</div>  <div class="bb-button-description">{{ button.description }}</div></div>

Note the value of ng-click. The parameter passed to goTo() is a string from a property of the binding object (the button), but it is not wrapped in quotes. Looks like AngularJS handles that for us. I got hung up on that for a few minutes.
