    <p>A function to reset form fields to pristine state (reset dirty state) is on the roadmap for AngularJS 1.1.x. Unfortunately such a function is missing from the current stable release.</p> <p><strong>What is the best way to reset all form fields to their initial pristine state for AngularJS 1.0.x.?</strong> </p> <p>I would like to know if this is fixable with a directive or other simple workaround. I prefer a solution without having to touch the original AngularJS sources. To clarify and demonstrate the problem, a link to JSFiddle. <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/juurlink/FWGxG/7/">http://jsfiddle.net/juurlink/FWGxG/7/</a></p> <p>Desired feature is on the <strong>Roadmap</strong> - <a href="http://blog.angularjs.org/2012/07/angularjs-10-12-roadmap.html">http://blog.angularjs.org/2012/07/angularjs-10-12-roadmap.html</a> <br /> <strong>Feature request</strong> - <a href="https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/856">https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/856</a> <br /> Proposed solution <strong>Pull request</strong> - <a href="https://github.com/angular/angular.js/pull/1127">https://github.com/angular/angular.js/pull/1127</a><br /> <br /></p> <h2>Updated with possible workaround</h2> <p><strong>Good enough workaround?</strong></p> <p>I just figured out I can recompile the HTML part and put it back into the DOM. It works and it's fine for a temporarily solution, but also as @blesh mentioned in the comments:</p> <p><em>Controllers should be used for business logic only, not for DOM!</em> </p> <pre><code>&lt;div id="myform"&gt; &lt;form class="form-horizontal" name="form"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>And in my Controller on <code>resetForm()</code>:</p> <ul> <li>Save the original untouched HTML </li> <li>Recompile the saved original HTML</li> <li>Remove the current form from the DOM</li> <li>Insert the new compiled template into the DOM</li> </ul> <p>The JavaScript: </p> <pre><code>var pristineFormTemplate = $('#myform').html(); $scope.resetForm = function () { $('#myform').empty().append($compile(pristineFormTemplate)($scope)); } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
