Is it possible to specify model for ngInclude so that any changes done inside the included template are reflected on the specified model. For instance:
I have a model such as :
$scope.member = {
name: "Member1",
children:[
{
name:"Child1"
},
{
name:"Child2"
}
]
};
and the template:
<script type="text/ng-template" id="name.html">
<input type="text" ng-model="member.name"/>
</script>
Now is it possible to pass ngInclude either "member" or any child and get their respective name properties modified? I tried passing ng-model to the ng-template but it doesn't work. I tried to dynamically load the scope with the intended model but if the model gets delete, I am left with an orphan template. Following is the jsfiddle code:

I wish to reuse the template rather than duplicating the same template for different models. I have refered to this question:
How to specify model to a ngInclude directive in AngularJS?
But here models are not getting deleted.
Edit
I have not grasped the concepts of creating custom directives till now. But will creating a new directive in conjuction with ng-include help?
The answer of your last question is: yes. In a directive, you define also a template and a scope. The content of the scope is completely in your hands.
See here: http://jsfiddle.net/vgWQG/1/
Usage:
Member: <member model="member"></member>
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="child in member.children">
Child {{$index}}: <member model="child"></member>
</li>
</ul>
The directive:
app.directive('member', function(){
return {
template : '<input type="text" ng-model="member.name"/>',
replace : true,
restrict: 'E',
scope : {
'member' : '=model'
},
link: function(scope, element, attr) {}
};
});
I've moved the template in an inline variant because I could not getting the template cache getting to work in jsfiddle. In a real world, a templateUrl: 'name.html' should be fine.
This is what you want?
