    I´m want to export a variable from my web2py controller to my controller.js and for example using your first suggestion and trying a ng-repeat with the array[1,2,3]

    in my web2py controller if i do

    x=[1,2,3]

    return dict(x=x)

     

    then in my controller.js i cannot access my x variable.

    $scope.cods= "<?=cods?>";

    i get this error

     

    Error: [ngRepeat:dupes] Duplicates in a repeater are not allowed. Use 'track by' expression to specify unique keys. Repeater: x in cods|filter:search, Duplicate key: string:?

    However if i embed my controller.js code in my web2py view it works

     

    Why?

      I am assuming that the controller.js is originally under /static/controllers.js.

      URLs to the static files do not get called through the framework and are simply returning the unprocessed file in the /static folder; thus, no value is substituted for the variable placeholder in the returned javascript for controller.js file request.

      When a request is made to the web2py framework via HTTP call (POST/GET), it is using a URL; the URL is processed and, after going through the application/controller path, is calling the specified controller's function. If there is a corresponding view, then the contents are used as a template to generate data that is returned.

      If the call is to 'static', then the URL file location is returned, no template processing of the file contents is done.
