javascript - Ionic, List populating via search -

i using backemnd service (parse in case doesn't matter question) , wanted search it. have textbox upon text being entered searches server , returns array of matchs.

my next step display returned objects nicely in list. easy enough ng-repeat because view has been loaded ui won't update reflect array being loading list. make sense?

i wondering if there technique refresh list , show returned search elements, , not being greedy here doing in way looks , not clunky.

i did lot of googling no luck :( advice amazing.

without code provided hard guess wrong. angular has two-way binding, view should updated automatically after changing content of array. if it's not, means did wrong in code. present example code should work in case.

controller

angular.module('modulename')   .controller('viewcontroller', ['viewservice', viewcontroller]);  function viewcontroller(viewservice) {     var self = this;      self.arraywithdata = [];     self.searchtext = "";      // ---- public functions ----      self.searchdata = searchdata;      // function loads data service     function searchdata(searchtext) {         viewservice.getdata(searchtext).then(function(dataresponse) {              // clear array data             self.arraywithdata.splice(0);              // fill again new data response             angular.foreach(dataresponse, function(item) {                 self.arraywithdata.push(item);             });         });     }      // --- private functions ---      // controller initialization     function _initialize() {         self.searchdata(self.searchtext);     }      _initialize(); } 

view

<div ng-controller="viewcontroller view">     <input type="text" ng-model="view.searchtext" />     <input type="button" value="search!" ng-click="view.searchdata(view.searchtext)" />      <!-- simple ngrepeat -->     <div ng-repeat="item in view.arraywithdata">         <!-- want item -->     </div>   </div> 

conclusion

by using splice() , push() make sure reference array not changed. if using controlleras syntax (as in example), assigning new data '=' work. however, if using $scope store data in controller, losing reference array probable reason why code doesn't work.
