Angularjs send value to database when leaving input field

Question

Been looking around but i can't seem to find any good resources. Got an application where i want to update the data in the database once the user leaves the textbox/area etc., figured i could probably do this with the ngfocus event but i would also need to get which field has triggered the update.

Not sure on how to proceed, might not event be the best thing to use ngfocus. Perhaps creating a new directive or maybe extending ngfocus if possible. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I would create a new directive that uses .blur - attach it to your input element and then call your service from that. – Oxidate

Answer 1

Use ngBlur instead.

HTML:

<input ng-blur='sendData()' />

Just make sure your controller exposes a sendData method on the scope.
