[Solved] View is getting initialized again and again

by


You need to familiarize yourself with the concept of a digest loop in Angular.

In short, every time a digest loop runs, all expressions, e.g. {{name}} or ng-show="isActive && isEnabled", that are being “$watched” by Angular are evaluated (sometimes more than once). This means that if you are invoking a function inside an expression:

<div ng-show="isShown()">

$scope.isShown = function(){
   console.log("expect to see this text a lot of times");
   return true;
};

the function will be executed on every digest loop.

A digest loop runs any time that something in Angular calls $scope.$digest, which by default happens on things like ng-click or ng-change or $http.then, etc..
