I use routing to load different templates into a ngView. One of the templates has a simple controller which contains an array of contacts. What I'm trying to do here is as simple as by clicking a link (ngclick) call a function and add a new object into the array which I expect will be reflected in my UI.
It's something like this:
$scope.contacts = [{name='', email=''}];
<li ng-repeat="con in contacts">
<input type="text" ng-model="con.name"/>
<input type="email" ng-model="con.email"/>
</li>
<li>
<a href ng-click="addContact()">add</a>
</li>
$scope.addContact = function() {
$scope.contacts.push( {name='', email=''} ); //-- i can use either $scope or this to reference the array and works.
}
So, the UI renders well with the initial value, the addContact function is invoked on click and I see the value is pushed (length = 2) but then the function ends the array seems to be reset to one element (lenght = 1) after angularjs evaluation.
I'm not sure if this is occurring because I use ngView. I mean, I reviewed this example (http://code.angularjs.org/1.0.3/docs/api/ng.directive:ngController) and I don't see much differences of what I'm trying to do here, the diff is that I use routing with ngView.

Help is much appreciated.
In your Fiddle, you are resetting the array length to 1 in the ng-show:
<span ng-hide="contacts.length = 1">
Do this and it will work:
<span ng-hide="contacts.length == 1">
{name='', email=''}
is wrong syntax btw, it should be {name:'', email:''}
