What is the best way for updating angular ng-repeat data values between view and controller?

Question

How to update data for ng-repeat between view and controller? If I put:

ng-repeat="item in actions"

And if I change $scope.actions in controller to some other value, would it be updated in ng-repeat? Is this the best way to update data values for ng-repeat between view and controller?

Answer 1

ng-repeat is slow, you will know when you have good amount of data to start researching about better performance of ng-repeat.

You first question

if I change $scope.actions in controller to some other value, would it be updated in ng-repeat?

Yes, however if it doesn't work use angular's '$timeout'

$timeout(function(){
  $scope.actions = [];
},0)

Your second question

Is this the best way to update data values for ng-repeat between view and controller?

it is the best way though it is suggested supplementing ng-repeat with limitTo together with Infinite scrolling .
