Is there a way to subscribe to events on multiple objects using $watch
E.g.
$scope.$watch('item1, item2', function () { });
Starting from AngularJS 1.3 there's a new method called $watchGroup
for observing a set of expressions.
$scope.foo = 'foo';
$scope.bar = 'bar';
$scope.$watchGroup(['foo', 'bar'], function(newValues, oldValues, scope) {
// newValues array contains the current values of the watch expressions
// with the indexes matching those of the watchExpression array
// i.e.
// newValues[0] -> $scope.foo
// and
// newValues[1] -> $scope.bar
});
