I am wondering if anyone can enlighten me to why the ng-class expression looks like this in the video:
ng-class="{'editing-item' : editing, 'edited' : todo.edited}"
AND NOT:
ng-class="{'editing-item' : editing, 'edited' : edited}"
I made of the mistake of using the above code the first time round and the edited property isn't created, so the CSS isn't applied. Is it because we are creating the edited property by putting the object before the property in 'todo.edited'?
What confuses me even more is that when I use the following code, the editing class isn't being applied to the 'todo' object:
ng-class="{'editing-item' : todo.editing, 'edited' : todo.edited}"
So, when changing an existing class do we not reference the object and when creating the property do we have to reference the object?
