AngularJS - Change the $scope object

Question

I have a very weird issue.

I have an object under the $scope

I using an angular.foreach loop but there is a problem.

when I'm trying to set a value depending on langKey(where langKey is 'en' or 'el') all the values are being updated by ingoring the langKey.

$scope.finalObject[langKey]['servicesElements'][itemKey]['name']  = something;

the problem still exists when I simply use the console in order to change the values from there.

I'm setting the value 'myCustomText' to the el version of the object

$scope.finalObject.el['servicesElements'][itemKey]['name'] = 'myCustomText'

BUT if i run this one

$scope.finalObject.en['servicesElements'][itemKey]['name']

it returns 'myCustomText' with no reason because what I changed was the el version not the en.

Is this normal? I'm totally stuck

Thank you in advance

I'd recommend you check out the angular-translate module over at ngmodules.org/modules/angular-translate. Also you'll need to post more code for your specific problem, it sounds like there's an issue with your loop somewhere. — Mike Pugh

Well guys,

The problem was that I had declared the two different objects with the same source.

$scope.finalObject.el.servicesElements = something;

and

$scope.finalObject.en.servicesElements = something

I didn't have seen that before, but the browser was behaving like I have typed

$scope.finalObject.en.servicesElements = $scope.finalObject.el.servicesElements = something

and in every change of the one the other was following.

(in php is called pointer)

The solution was to use the angular's copy function

http://docs.angularjs.org/api/angular.copy

So I simply used this SO answer Reset a model with angular.js did this

$scope.tmpVar = something;
$scope.finalObject.en.servicesElements = angular.copy($scope.tmpVar);
$scope.finalObject.el.servicesElements = angular.copy($scope.tmpVar);
