does your controller know something about the header and the connected models?

Hi @bengtler,

Here’s my code.

HTML:

<ion-modal-view ng-controller="MyController">
    <ion-header-bar class="bar bar-header bar-clear">
        <button class="button button-clear button-primary" ng-click="closeModal(1)"><i class="icon ion-close-circled"></i></button>
        <h1 class="title"> Create New Report</h1>
         <button class="button button-clear button-primary" ng-click="submit(location)"><i class="icon ion-paper-airplane"></i></button>
    </ion-header-bar>

    <ion-content class="backround-feed" scroll="true" has-footer="true">
            <div class="item item-divider item-clear">
                Where is the incident?
            </div>

     <!-- I AM CALLING A DIRECTIVES HERE -->
           <label class="item item-input">
              <input type="text" placeholder="Enter an Address, Place, or ZIP" location-suggestion location="location" ng-model="location.formatted_address">
            </label>
    </ion-content>
</ion-modal-view>

Controller

.controller('MyController', function($scope, $ionicModal) {

    $scope.location = {};

    $scope.submit = function(location) {

      $scope.location = angular.fromJson(location);
      
      console.log("LOCATION: "+location);
 
    }
})

I found out that when I put the button inside the content, I was able to pass the “location” json values to the controller which I set using a directives. I need to get the same result even when the button is placed on the header.

What work around can we do for this?

Hope you understand it well.

*PS: The codes that i have posted are shortened. Only the related once are posted on this post.

Thank you.

you do not need to set location as parameter for your submit function.

Try to directly use your scope variable:

<button class="button button-clear button-primary" ng-click="submit()"><i class="icon ion-paper-airplane"></i>   </button>

$scope.submit = function() {
  console.log("LOCATION: ", $scope.location);
}

It is working now. Thank you.
