Why value in directive does not get updated - Angular Js?

I just encounter a problem I have written a directive but its not getting update, I dont know why, in console it does change but in directive it does not.
Here is my directive
mainControllers.directive('mallsproduct', function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: {
productInfo: '=info',
linkid: '=linkid'
},
templateUrl: 'directives/dashboard_product.html'
};
});
Here is my `html`
<div class="aa-properties-content-body mg-7" ng-controller="DashboardController as ctrl">
<ul class="aa-properties-nav aa-list-view">
<li style="border: 1px solid #ccc;margin-bottom: 25px;" ng-repeat="active_products in productInfo.items">
<article class="aa-properties-item mg-top-0-notimp">
<a class="aa-properties-item-img" href="#/product/{{active_products.id}}">
<img ng-if="active_products.photos[0].path" resize-image alt="img" class="" src="{{active_products.photos[0].path}}">
<img ng-if="!active_products.photos[0].path" resize-image class="" src="img/default_product.jpg" alt="">
</a>
<div class="aa-properties-item-content">
<div class="aa-properties-about padding-0-notimp">
<h5>{{active_products.name| limitTo : 10}}{{active_products.name.length > 10 ? '...' : ''}}</h5>
<p class="font-size-11-imp"><i class="fa fa-building-o" aria-hidden="true"></i> {{active_products.mall.name| limitTo : 10}}{{active_products.mall.name.length > 10 ? '...' : ''}}</p>
<p class="font-size-11-imp"><i class="fa fa-map-marker" aria-hidden="true"></i> {{active_products.mall.address| limitTo : 10}}{{active_products.mall.address.length > 10 ? '...' : ''}}</p>
<p class="font-size-11-imp"><i class="fa fa-phone" aria-hidden="true"></i> {{active_products.shop.telephone}}</p>
<p class="font-size-11-imp" ng-if="linkid == 3"><i class="fa fa-eye" aria-hidden="true"></i> {{active_products.views}}</p>
<div class="modal-demo">
<script type="text/ng-template" id="myModalContent.html">
<div ng-include src="'partials/update_product.html'"></div>
</script>
<div ng-controller="AddProductController">
<button ng-click="view_product(active_products.id)"><i class="fa fa-pencil" aria-hidden="true"></i></button>
<button ng-click="del_product(active_products.id)"><i class="fa fa-trash-o" aria-hidden="true"></i></button>
<button ng-if="linkid == 2" ng-init="status = 1" ng-click="reactivate_product(active_products.id, status)"><i class="fa fa-lock" aria-hidden="true"></i></button>
</div>
<div class="modal-parent">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</article>
</li>
</ul>
<div class="aa-title pad-top-30" ng-if="linkid == 1">
<p>Global page count for active product is {{global_pagecount}} and active product count from API is {{productInfo._meta.pageCount}}</p>
<h3 ng-if="global_pagecount < productInfo._meta.pageCount" class="text-align-center color-feroz cursor-pointer" ng-click="load_more(global_pagecount, linkid)">{{$root.translated_labels.dashboard.load_more}}</h3>
</div>
<div class="aa-title pad-top-30" ng-if="linkid == 3">
<p>Global page count for most viewed is {{global_pagecount_mostv}} and most viewed count from API is {{productInfo._meta.pageCount}}</p>
<h3 ng-if="global_pagecount_mostv < productInfo._meta.pageCount" class="text-align-center color-feroz cursor-pointer" ng-click="load_more(global_pagecount_mostv, linkid)">{{$root.translated_labels.dashboard.load_more}}</h3>
</div>
</div>
I am including directive in dashboard partial like this
<div class="active tab-pane" ng-if="linkid === '1'">
<malls-product info="active_products" linkid="linkid"></malls-product>
</div>
<!--Active products list ends here -->
<!-- Get Inactive Products -->
<div class="active tab-pane" ng-if="linkid === '2'" >
<malls-product info="$root.inactive_products" linkid="linkid"></malls-product>
</div>
<!--Get Inactive products ends here -->
<div class="active tab-pane" ng-if="linkid === '3'" >
<malls-product info="$root.mostviewed_products" linkid="linkid"></malls-product>
</div>
<!-- View Profile-->
and This is the api which does show the result in console.
$scope.global_pagecount = 1;
$scope.active_product = function () {
$http.get($rootScope.baseurl + 'abc?&page=' + $scope.global_pagecount,
{headers:
{'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
'Authorization': $rootScope.keyword_auth_token, 'Accept-Language': $cookies.get('type')}
})
.success(function (data) {
//$scope.active_product_pageCount = data._meta.pageCount;
if ($scope.global_pagecount === 1) //I know for sure the first page of pagination is 1
{
$scope.active_products = data;
}
if ($scope.global_pagecount > 1) // If user click load more global count gets incremented and new results push in active_producst
{
/* for loading new results Pagination Applied */
for (var times = data.items.length - 1; times >= 0; times--) {
$scope.active_products.items.push(data.items[times]);
}
}
console.log($scope.active_products);
})
.error(function (data) {
// console.log(data);
});
};
What is the issue, why it is not getting update, If I use rootscopethen it works fine, obviously it has too, but not with $scope.
Note : when scope.global_pagecount value is equal to 2 i get new results but not in directive only in console. By default scope.global_pagecount has value equal to 1.

You don't use your directive correctly. You define it as:
mainControllers.directive('mallsproduct'
Which means you should use it as:
<mallsproduct ..>
Or define your directive camelcased:
mainControllers.directive('mallsProduct'
Then you can use it as you do now:
<malls-product ..>

This is because of the Isolated scope doesn’t know anything about its parent scope. You just created a directive with an isolated scope.
To access any parent scope data, we need to pass the scope data to our directive explicitly. This is achieved by setting properties on the scope object in the DDO.
Another important thing is that, these properties also MUST be set as the attributes of the directive html element.

AngularJS creating multiple instaces of controller

I'm kinda new in Angular and I'm trying to make a simple app using the Routing module with a Parent controller and everything else being a child of that controller.The Problem is that each time the Parent Controller calls a view, a new instance of that child controller is created, wich means my functions get called multiple times, im pretty sure im doing something wrong, not sure what it is...
here's part of my app.js
var module = angular.module('stock', ['ngRoute', 'ngAnimate']);
module.config(function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/Dashboard/', {
templateUrl: '/Dashboard',
controller: 'DashboardCtrl'
})
.when('/Proveedores/', {
templateUrl: '/Proveedores',
controller: 'ProveedoresCtrl'
})
.when('/DatosArticulo/', {
templateUrl: '/DatosArticulo',
controller: 'DatosArticuloCtrl'
})
.when('/IngresarArticulo/', {
templateUrl: '/IngresarArticulo',
controller: 'IngresarArticuloCtrl'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/Dashboard'
});
});
part of index.html
<body ng-app="stock" ng-controller="MainCtrl" ng-init="init()" ng-cloak>
<div class="dropdown-content">
<a href="#!/IngresarArticulo">
<i style="font-size:22px;margin-right:8px" class="fa fa-plus-circle" aria-hidden="true"></i> Ingresar Articulo
</a>
<a href="#!/Proveedores">
<i style="font-size:22px;margin-right:8px" class="fa fa-product-hunt" aria-hidden="true"></i> Proveedores
</a>
<a href="#!/DatosArticulo">
<i style="font-size:22px;margin-right:8px" class="fa fa-info-circle" aria-hidden="true"></i> Datos Articulo
</a>
</div>
<div style="z-index:50" id="mainContent" class="view-animate-container">
<div ng-view class="view-animate"></div>
</div>
<script type='text/ng-template' id='/Dashboard'>
<!-- Magic from this view-->
</script>
<script type='text/ng-template' id='/Proveedores'>
<!-- Magic from this view-->
</script>
EDIT
The Problem (to be more clear) is that I'm broadcasting an event from the Main controller to one of the childs controller, what the controller does once the event is listened is inserting data to my DB, and since there are multiple instances of that controller, the data gets inserted multiple times, how can i avoid that?

How to Do Transitions Between Tabbed Pages in Ionic Framework

Within the Ionic Framework, you can setup tabs. The pages within the tabs can easily transition using a slide-left-right or some other type of transition. This makes the application feel smooth and thought-out.
The issue that I have is that the pages associated with each tab, once clicked from the tab menu, do not transition at all, there is just boom: a page.
I found a pen on codepen (link to codepen demo) that can replicate this effect as I want it (to some degree), but I cannot replicate it in any scenario, much less the Ionic rc0 (1.0) version.
The codepen code uses an animation that seems to not work elsewhere:
<ion-nav-view animation="slide-left-right"></ion-nav-view>
Please assist.

I haven't tried to get that exact example working, but I achieved a similar effect in one of my apps by giving all the tabs the same view name:
app.js
$stateProvider
.state('signin', {
url: "/sign-in",
templateUrl: "sign-in.html",
controller: 'SignInCtrl'
})
.state('forgotpassword', {
url: "/forgot-password",
templateUrl: "forgot-password.html"
})
.state('tabs', {
url: "/tab",
abstract: true,
templateUrl: "tabs.html"
})
.state('tabs.home', {
url: "/home",
views: {
'tab-view': {
templateUrl: "home.html",
controller: 'HomeTabCtrl'
}
}
})
.state('tabs.facts', {
url: "/facts",
views: {
'tab-view': {
templateUrl: "facts.html"
}
}
})
.state('tabs.facts2', {
url: "/facts2",
views: {
'tab-view': {
templateUrl: "facts2.html"
}
}
})
.state('tabs.about', {
url: "/about",
views: {
'tab-view': {
templateUrl: "about.html"
}
}
})
tabs.html
<ion-tabs tabs-style="tabs-icon-top" tabs-type="tabs-positive" animation="slide-left-right">
<ion-tab title="Home" icon="ion-home" href="#/tab/home">
<ion-nav-view name="tab-view"></ion-nav-view>
</ion-tab>
<ion-tab title="About" icon="ion-ios7-information" href="#/tab/about">
<ion-nav-view name="tab-view"></ion-nav-view>
</ion-tab>
</ion-tabs>
Notice the name "tab-view" for each state and again as the name attribute on the ion-nav-view in each tab.

This helped me to find a solution https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/issues/2997 . The trick is to load all tabs in single view. You can't use ion-tabs directive to achieve that, you you will have to create your tab container using regular html:
<ion-view title="Tabs Controller">
<!-- All tabs are going to load here -->
<ion-nav-view name="menuContent"></ion-nav-view>
<!-- TABS -->
<div class="tabs-stable tabs-icon-top tabs-bottom tabs-standard">
<div class="tab-nav tabs">
<a class="tab-item" ng-click="goTabForums()" ng-class="{ active : settings.isTab1}">
<i class="icon bb-ios-forums"></i>
<span translate="TABS.FORUMS_TAB"></span>
</a>
<a class="tab-item" ng-click="goTabGroups()" ng-class="{ active : settings.isTab2 }">
<i class="icon bb-ios-forums"></i>
<span translate="TABS.GROUPS_TAB"></span>
</a>
<a class="tab-item" ng-click="goTabTopics()" ng-class="{ active : settings.isTab2 }">
<i class="icon bb-ios-topics"></i>
<span translate="TABS.TOPICS_TAB"></span>
</a>
<a class="tab-item" ng-click="goTabNotifications()" ng-class="{ active : settings.isTab2 }">
<i class="icon bb-ios-notifications"></i>
<span translate="TABS.NOTIFICATIONS_TAB"></span>
</a>
<a class="tab-item" ng-click="goTabProfile()" ng-class="{ active : settings.isTab2 }">
<i class="icon bb-ios-my-profile"></i>
<span translate="TABS.MY_PROFILE_TAB"></span>
</a>
<a class="tab-item" ng-click="goTabMore()" ng-class="{ active : settings.isTab2 }">
<i class="icon bb-ios-more"></i>
<span translate="TABS.MORE_TAB"></span>
</a>
</div>
</div>
your tabs controller should look like this:
.controller('tabsCtrl', function($scope, $ionicConfig, $state) {
$scope.goTabForums = function(){
$ionicConfig.views.transition('platform');
$state.go('tabsController.forums');
}
$scope.goTabGroups = function(){
$ionicConfig.views.transition('platform');
$state.go('tabsController.groups');
}
$scope.goTabTopics = function(){
$ionicConfig.views.transition('platform');
$state.go('tabsController.topics');
}
$scope.goTabNotifications = function(){
$ionicConfig.views.transition('platform');
$state.go('tabsController.notifications');
}
$scope.goTabProfile = function(){
$ionicConfig.views.transition('platform');
$state.go('tabsController.profile');
}
$scope.goTabMore = function(){
$ionicConfig.views.transition('platform');
$state.go('tabsController.more');
}})
And finally routs:
$stateProvider
.state('tabsController.forums', {
url: '/forums',
views: {
'menuContent': {
templateUrl: 'templates/forums.html',
controller: 'forumsCtrl'
}
}})
.state('tabsController.topics', {
url: '/topics',
views: {
'menuContent': {
templateUrl: 'templates/topics.html',
controller: 'topicsCtrl'
}
}})

View per model/scope object - ui-router / angularjs

Is it possible to have a view per model , ie an edit view for an item, and only that view to be shown for this specific model?
I have a list of tasks, like a todo list. When I click an add button I want an edit view to be shown only for that list and not for every other list I have.
Sorry for my English and possible ignorance on terminology. I am new to Angularjs
My code:
index.html
<div ng-repeat="list in lists" jui-dg-list="{ handle: 'i.fa-arrows' }" class="md-whiteframe-z2 home-drag list" style="top: {{list.ui_top}}px; left: {{list.ui_left}}px;">
<md-subheader>{{list.name}}</md-subheader>
<md-list>
<md-item ng-repeat="task in list.tasks">
<md-item-content>
<div>
<span>{{task.description}}</span>
<span>{{task.completed}}</span>
<span>{{task.priority_id}}</span>
<i class="fa fa-trash-o" ng-click="deleteTask(task, list)"></i>
</div>
</md-item-content>
</md-item>
<div ui-view="newTask"></div>
<i class="fa fa-plus" ng-click="goToState('home.newTask', {id: list.id})"></i>
</md-list>
<i class="fa fa-times" ng-click="deleteList(list)"></i>
<i class="fa fa-arrows"></i>
</div>
app.js
$stateProvider.state('home', {
url: '/',
templateUrl: 'views/home.html',
controller: 'HomeCtrl',
resolve: {
notes: ['NotesLoader', function(NotesLoader){
return NotesLoader();
}],
lists: ['ListsLoader', function(ListsLoader){
return ListsLoader();
}]
}
});
$stateProvider.state('home.newTask', {
url: 'list/:id/task/create',
views: {
'newTask#home': {
templateUrl: 'views/home.newTask.html',
controller: 'NewTaskCtrl'
}
}
});
With this code when I click to add a new task the newTask view will be shown on every list and not on the list I clicked.
That's to be expected because inside to my ng-repeat I have <div ui-view="newTask"></div> so when I go to newTask state every ui-view with the name newTask will be shown.
Is there any way to achieve it only for the model that's was clicked ?

Syntax Error .
return {
templateUrl: () => {
