In Angular, I need to write a function that uses the ngModelCtrl to send all new values typed into the <input> to the console.log function. I have no idea how to approach this. Please help.
angular.module('myApp', [])
.controller('myController', function($scope) {
$scope.user = {
name: 'Alex'
};
})
.directive('myDirective', function () {
return {
require: 'ngModel',
priority: 1,
link: function ($scope, $element, $attrs, ngModelCtrl) {
// YOUR CODE HERE
}
}
});
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<title>Angular.js</title>
<script src="js/angular.js"></script>
<script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="myController">
<p>Hello {{user.name}}</p>
<input type="text" ng-model="user.name" />
<div my-directive ng-model="user.name"></div>
</body>
</html>

ngModelCtrl.$render = function(){ var content = ngModelCtrl.$viewValue; console.log(content); }
