Angular JS: Toggle Only One Item at a Time - javascript

So I've got an list of names that I'm doing an ng-repeat on, and I've got an ng-click on each name, that when clicked, reveals a tooltip. I'm doing this like so:
<li ng-repeat="person in names" ng-click="tooltip = !tooltip">
<span>{{ person }}</span>
<div class="tooltip" ng-show="tooltip">This is {{ person }}'s tooltip</div>
</li>
When you click on a person 1's name their tooltip appears, but when you click on person 2, their tooltip also appears. I would like only one tooltip to appear at once. Is this possible using the toggle technique tooltip = !tooltip above?
I've set up a JS Bin of my issue, here: https://jsbin.com/faxoviwuze/1/edit?html,js,output
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Use the $index:
<ul ng-init="model.tooltip=-1">
<li ng-repeat="person in names" ng-click="model.tooltip = $index">
<span>{{ person }}</span>
<div class="tooltip" ng-show="model.tooltip==$index">This is {{ person }}'s tooltip</div>
</li>
</ul>
I recommend to not use scalar scope variables like tooltip.
It's easy to unbind. Use something like model.tooltip.

Also, there is not a reason for $scope injecting - you can to use controllerAs syntax.

ng-repeat item reference is showing up differently in angular ui router link

I have a ng-repeat for an array of message objects, which prints out message.text and is accompanied by message.author.username. When I use {{message.author.username}}, it prints out the correct user, but I have that DOM element wrapped in an anchor, where ui_sref=profile(message.author.username) is set as the link.
For some reason the ui-sref link's reference to the username is presenting something totally different than what it's wrapped around. Like, when I hover over the linked username on the site, it shows that the link goes to a different username found later in the array. If it's using the same exact syntax (message.author.username) is there any reason for the text to be different when listed in an ui-router anchor tag? I feel like it's a bug but I'm not sure why and how to fix.
Hopefully that made sense... here's some code to be clear
<div class="col-sm-9 offset-sm-1"
ng-repeat="message in wall | orderBy: createdon:true | limitTo: 8">
<div class="comment-container">
<div >
<h6> <a ui-sref="profile(message.author.username)">{{message.author.username}}</a></h6>
</div>
<div class="comment-text">
{{message.text}}
</div>
<hr>
</div>
</div>

Angular 1.4: How do I force update of directive within a ng-repeat with filter?

How does one force a directive to update if it nested in a ng-repeat which has a filter?
Input Box
<input type="text" class="name-search" ng-model="search.text">
HTML
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="user in users track by $index | filter:search">
<profile-photo user="user"></profile-photo>
<span>{{ user.name }}</span>
<li>
</ul>
As I type in the input box, the users filter properly but the profile-photo directive doesnt have the proper user.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Heres a dumbed down Plunker of my actual code. If you start typing, you will notice that it filters but the image doesnt update.

your link's function code only executes once, when compiling the directive. After that, scope.photoUrl does not change even if you change the user, because you're not $watching the value. You can add a watch, or directly, use this in the template
ng-src="{{user.photoUrl}}"

Unable to access user input in a function called from ng-repeat

I am new to Angular and may be missing something obvious. I did read the ng-model scope documentation. And followed the recommendation to use an object instead of primitives.
I also tried the $parent suggested by a few others here. That didn't help either.
I have read many Q&As here involving ng-repeat. But they are talking about an input inside an ng-repeat. In my case there is only one text box. I am trying to search inside a tree using ng-repeat.
<script type="text/ng-template" id="tree_item_renderer.html">
{{data.name}}
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="data in data.nodes" ng-include="'tree_item_renderer.html'" ng-show="visible(data)"></li>
</ul>
</script>
This is the function being called:
$scope.visible = function(item) {
console.log("SearchText inside visible: " + $scope.input.searchText);
return !($scope.input.searchText && $scope.input.searchText.length > 0
&& item.title.indexOf($scope.input.searchText) == -1);
};
Take a look at my jsFiddle
I saw your code on the jsFiddle. There is an issue that you called ng-controller="TreeController" twice and initialized ng-app = Application. I have commented out these two lines of code, and you can see the change on the console.
The reason why you are getting this problem is you make Angular to re-initialize TreeController which it clears the value of input.searchText.
Check out the working jsFiddle !
<div ng-app="myApp">
<div ng-controller="TreeController">
Search UIC:
<input type="text" ng-change="search()" ng-model="input.searchText"
placeholder="Enter your search terms" />
<!-- <ul ng-app="Application" ng-controller="TreeController"> -->
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="data in tree" ng-include="'tree_item_renderer.html'" ng-show="visible(data)">
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

Angular: one-time binding, recompiling of nested ng-repeat

I am using one-time binding and kcd-recompile, but have a problem with nested ng-repeat. Let's assume the code looks like this:
<div ng-repeat="person in ::people">
<div ng-repeat="friend in ::person.friends" kcd-recompile="person.friends">
{{friend.name}}
</div>
</div>
If I add a friend to one of the people now, I want this person div to be recompiled without recompiling the other people's divs. The problem is: person.friends is only updated, if person is updated.
So it works if I add the kcd-recompile to the first ng-repeat, but then every person's div is recompiled (which I want to prevent).
Is there any possibility to update person without recompiling the whole first ng-repeat?
Found a solution on my own (after hours), if anyone needs it:
Using people[$index].friends instead of person.friends, it works!
<div ng-repeat="person in ::people">
<div ng-repeat="friend in people[$index].friends" kcd-recompile="person.friends">
{{friend.name}}
</div>
</div>

Trigger function on a certain element - ngrepeat - angularjs

Good morning,
I'm trying to change the limitTo filter on a certain list, my issue is:
when I click to the trigger who change the filter limit the filter changes on all ng-repeated categories.
my function inside the main controller
$scope.showMore = function(limit) {
if($scope.limitItems === $scope.itemsPerList) {
$scope.limitItems = limit;
$scope.switchFilterText = 'less';
} else {
$scope.switchFilterText = 'more';
$scope.limitItems = $scope.itemsPerList;
}
}
my scenario (I rewrote it in a simplified version)
<li ng-repeat="item in category.items | limitTo: limitItems ">
{{item.title}}
</li>
<li ng-if="limitItems < (category.items.length)">
<a ng-click="showMore(category.items.length)" >Show {{ switchFilterText }}</a>
</li>
Could you explain me what's wrong with me?
I searched how to select a single element to apply the function but I didn't find anything useful
Update:
I found the way to solve my issue in this way:
No functions inside the controller are involved to make this functionality works properly:
<li ng-repeat="category in maincategories" ng-init="limitItems = maxItemsPerList">
{{category.title}}
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="item in category.items | limitTo: limitItems "> {{item.title}}
</li>
</ul>
<a ng-click="limitItems = category.items.length" href>
<b ng-if="category.items.length > maxItemsPerList && limitItems != category.items.length "> Show more </b>
</a>
I'm not really convinced about Angular (I used it in my past and I was impressed by the performance but now I can see logics senseless):
What I learned:
ng-if and ng-click cannot be used in the same content because ng-if creates new scopes so if you put ng-if on top of the "show more" link it will break the code
ng-init cannot be used in the same element of the ng-repeat otherwise the var initialised will not be available inside the ng-repeat block
I think there is another way to do that, maybe more clean but in this specific case I can't do a lot.

Yes, ng-if creates a new scope, but it is possible to mix ng-if and ng-click (and most other directives). To do that, you'll be safer if you always write to atributes of another object instead of a simple variable. It is plain JavaScript prototypal inheritance in play.
<li ... ng-init="category.limitItems = maxItemsPerList">
ng-init cannot be used in the same element of the ng-repeat otherwise
the var initialised will not be available inside the ng-repeat block
True, in the sense that variables are created in the local scope. But again, refer to an object.

specific case I can't do a lot.
You don't need to do a lot, it is quite simple to do it right actually.
Some advices:
Use ng-init with care. I know it will tempt us but always try to put logic inside controllers and services;
Avoid assignments inside templates;
Learn how to use controllerAs syntax. It gives you an object to write your models to (the controller), so solves most problems related to scope inheritance;
Do not inject $scope, put your view models inside controllers.
Full code goes like this:
<li ng-repeat="category in maincategories" ng-init="category.limitItems = maxItemsPerList">
{{category.title}}
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="item in category.items | limitTo: category.limitItems "> {{item.title}}
</li>
</ul>
<a ng-if="category.items.length > maxItemsPerList && category.limitItems != category.items.length" ng-click="category.limitItems = category.items.length" href>
<b> Show more </b>
</a>
