The easiest way is to use angular.copy to create a clone of the object when edit is clicked and then when save is clicked copy the data to the item in the array.

First initilize $scope.editedItem

$scope.editedItem = {};

For editrow we store the currently edited index in $index and then clone the data into $scope.editedItem.

$scope.editrow = function($index){
    $scope.istrue = true;
    $scope.$index = $index;
    angular.copy($scope.items[$index], $scope.editedItem);
}

Then in save we clone the data back into the object in the array:

$scope.save = function(){
    $scope.istrue = false;
    angular.copy($scope.editedItem, $scope.items[$scope.$index]) 
}

The view needs to be updated to instead use editedItem:

<div class="editpopup editpopup-{{istrue}} ">
    <p>edit id:<input type="text" ng-model="editedItem.id"></p>
    <p>edit pname:<input type="text" ng-model="editedItem.pname"></p>
    <button ng-click="save()">save</button>
    <button ng-click="closepopup()">cancel</button>
 </div>

I had this same issue. here was my fix

My original code that didn't update the object

<div class="info" ng-repeat="email in vm.contactData.emails.other">
      <input type="text" ng-model="email" />
</div>

Used the items $index to properly bind it

<div class="info" ng-repeat="email in vm.contactData.emails.other">
      <input type="text" ng-model="vm.contactData.emails.other[$index]" />
</div>

This binding creates a re-draw issue because it doesn't know if the updated item in the array is referencing the same item that was in that spot before. To fix this i had to make a slight change to formatting of the array.

['[email protected]','[email protected]']

becomes

[
   {'email': '[email protected]'},
   {'email': '[email protected]'}
]

and

<div class="info" ng-repeat="email in vm.contactData.emails.other">
     <input type="text" ng-model="vm.contactData.emails.other[$index]" />
</div>

becomes

<div class="info" ng-repeat="email in vm.contactData.emails.other">
      <input type="text" ng-model="vm.contactData.emails.other[$index].email" />
</div>

after these changes you should have a proper bind without any re-draw issues where the input field loses focus.

I am new to angular js, I have an array I am looping it through ng-repeat directive, and I have written code for copy, remove, and edit values in the array.

If I want to remove or copy I can do it, done? But if I click on edit one popup box will appear there I want to edit the values those updated values should update in the array.

How can I get it done?
