I'm wondering why you are declaring functions and then attaching them to the scope. Can't this be accomplishing in one step?

For example, you have the following:

function startCreating() { $scope.isCreating = true; } $scope.startCreating = startCreating;

Can this be written as follows?

$scope.startCreating = function () { $scope.isCreating = true; }

Couldn't we achieve the same result with just two functions?

function setCurrentAction(action) {
	$scope.currentAction = 'action';
}

function cancelCurrentAction() {
	$scope.currentAction = null;
}

Doing so we could also re-use quickly implement additional actions.

~Minute 6:15 "it's actually a property": Why are you emphasizing using ng-if="xxx" with no brackets here and using ng-if="xxx()" (with brackets) every where else?
