To form a nested drop down list on side menu

I am new to this ionic framework so my task is to make nested drop down on side menu which i have made and its working fine. When i click on any item like “act&ser” it show its list and then again i click on “Courses” it again show another list inside it.By clicking it again the method toggle123(’{{ChildNames.id}}’) hide its list.
But the problem is when i again click on “act&ser” which run toggle(’{{x.id}}’) method to hide my whole dropdown list but its not hiding. I want my dropdown list to get hide on clicking “act&ser” So can you please help me.
Here is image what i want in which “act&ser” and then its childern like “Courses” which has also it’s children like “Arts&Lifestyle”

In menu.html file

  <ion-list>
<ion-item ng-repeat="x in names" ng-click = "toggle('{{x.id}}')">
   {{ x.name }}

<ion-list ng-show="myVar_{{x.id}}"> 

  <ion-item ng-repeat="ChildNames in x.children" ng-click = "toggle123('{{ChildNames.id}}')">
         {{ChildNames.name}}
      <ion-list ng-show="myVar1_{{ChildNames.id}}" >
        <ion-item ng-repeat="NestedChildNames in ChildNames.children1"  >
          {{NestedChildNames.name}}
        </ion-item>
     </ion-list>
    </ion-item>
  </ion-list>
</ion-item>

In controller file

 $scope.toggle123 = function(parentid1) {
    $scope['myVar1_'+parentid1]  = !$scope['myVar1_'+parentid1];
    console.log("Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii I am here");

};

$scope.toggle = function(parentid) {
    //$scope['myVar_'+parentid]  = !$scope['myVar_'+parentid];
    if(flag)
     {
        $scope['myVar_'+parentid] = 'true';  
        flag = false;
        //console.log($scope['myVar_'+parentid]);
     }
     else
     {
        $scope['myVar_'+parentid] = 'false';
        //console.log($scope['myVar_'+parentid]);
        flag = true;
     }        
};

and the json is

W/out a codepen or fiddle hard to know but I’m guessing you’ve getting caught by issues with prototypal inheritance, when you call toggle123 i suspect it’s creating another scope variable which shadows the parent scope variable (i.e. two separate variables same name, different scope)

Instead of ‘myVar_{{x.id}}’ try sticking them in another object so like ‘data.myVar_{{x.id}}’

If that fixes it take a read of this, explains everything a log better than I could: https://github.com/angular/angular.js/wiki/Understanding-Scopes

Thanks for your response but it still not working.I have made change

<ion-list data-ng-controller = 'MyappCtrl'>
        <ion-item ng-repeat="x in names" ng-click = "toggle('{{x.id}}')">
           {{ x.name }}

        <ion-list ng-show="myVar_{{x.id}}"> 
      
          <ion-item ng-repeat="ChildNames in x.children" ng-click = "toggle123(ChildNames.id)">
                 {{ChildNames.name}}
              <ion-list ng-show="myVar1_{{ChildNames.id}}" >
                <ion-item ng-repeat="NestedChildNames in ChildNames.children1"  >
                  {{NestedChildNames.name}}
                </ion-item>
             </ion-list>
            </ion-item>
          </ion-list>

and in controller

  $scope.toggle123 = function(parentid1) {
    $scope['myVar1_'+parentid1]  = !$scope['myVar1_'+parentid1];
    console.log("hiiiichi"+parentid1);
     
};

$scope.toggle = function(parentid) {
    //$scope['data.myVar_'+parentid]  = !$scope['myVar_'+parentid];
    if(flag)
     {
        $scope['data.myVar_'+parentid] = 'true';  
        flag = false;
        console.log(parentid);
     }
     else
     {
     	$scope['data.myVar_'+parentid] = 'false';
     	console.log("hii "+parentid);
     	flag = true;
     }  	  
};

But Now when i click on “act&ser” then it does not show any list which was previously showing.

Now When I print my result on console.

 $scope.toggle123 = function(parentid1) {
        $scope['myVar1_'+parentid1]  = !$scope['myVar1_'+parentid1];
        console.log("hiiiichi"+parentid1);
         
    };

    $scope.toggle = function(parentid) {
        //$scope['myVar_'+parentid]  = !$scope['myVar_'+parentid];
        if(flag)
         {
            $scope['myVar_'+parentid] = 'true';  
            flag = false;
            console.log(parentid);
         }
         else
         {
         	$scope['myVar_'+parentid] = 'false';
         	console.log("hii "+parentid);
         	flag = true;
         }  	  
    };

then when i click on “act&ser” then on console it print ‘2’.
but when i click on “courses” then it print both ‘hiiiichi3’ 'hii 2’
when again i click on “courses” then it print both ‘hiiiichi3’ ‘2’ after hiding list.
but when i click on “act&ser” then it print ‘hii2’ or ‘2’ but does not hiding

My question is why on clicking courses it run function toggle() which i haven’t define there

Can you please tell me Is there any other way to make it
