• Using ngController With ngRepeat In AngularJS

  Posted on Feb 27, 2013 at 3:09 PM

  @Ben, Agreed on calling a method for every digest. I'm working with our team to use that sparingly. Easy or "can" is not always the best "should" answer. Simply put, as you say, pros and cons.... read more »

• Using ngController With ngRepeat In AngularJS

  Posted on Feb 15, 2013 at 4:48 PM

  @Ben, Yeah, I figured it would be pretty quick and I'm not against the idea (actually dig it) but that was the first thing that came to mind. Keep rockin' Angular posts man. Loving them.... read more »

• Using ngController With ngRepeat In AngularJS

  Posted on Feb 15, 2013 at 4:36 PM

  I like the idea but performance concerns me. It is creating 1000 controllers for a 1000 item list. Yes, 1000 item list is extreme but you get my point. Have you tested the performance of something like this on a larger list of items?... read more »

  @Alessandro, When you have a circular dependency it means you have two classes relying on each other. If Dog relies on Animal and Animal relies on Dog, the system goes bananas.... read more »

  Be aware, ng-view will recreate your controller on every url request so anything you want to live through to the next scope (when it generates) should be moved to a service.... read more »

• Nested Views, Routing, And Deep Linking With AngularJS

  @Ben, Ah, yes. We're dealing with that a bit now. We use the state service to update data and watch on the state service in other controllers to apply things to the scope. **pseudo //state_service setBlah getBlah //controller1 watch stateService.getBlah, function(blah){ doSomething(); } //contr... read more »

• Nested Views, Routing, And Deep Linking With AngularJS

  @Ben, Services are singletons so we have a base service class that handles all XHR (through $http but we wrap it) and have a custom cache implementation. This way we can comfortably call services from other controllers and be fine with knowing it won't duplicate calls/data. We then extend that bas... read more »

  I am using Angular daily as well. It is by far the smoothest to me. Just added deep linking to our app too (a slightly different approach but a 'watch' is involved).... read more »

• Porting The ColdFusion Application.cfc Framework Component Over To Node.js

  Posted on May 3, 2011 at 3:09 PM

  @Ben, I think any subscription would have to be done with a timestamp or some other way of encrypting the "key". This way I can't jump into Console in Chrome, call into Node w/ the tweaked properties [say ID 23 vs 22], and start hearing things for user id 22. Let us know what you find B... read more »

• Porting The ColdFusion Application.cfc Framework Component Over To Node.js

  Posted on May 3, 2011 at 12:41 PM

  @Kai, If I may, I think you have to reconsider the NowJS/NodeJS approach. CF wouldn't poll Node for data. Node would push CF data. That's the difference. Now, you definitely could ping Node for data but you're in CF...why not use CF for general data. I really believe Node shines in the vein of pus... read more »
