How to send table row data to form input for edit in angularjs

Question

I need help with angularjs code. The thing is, in my table rows I have "Edit" button, so if I click on edit a row I want the row data shown in a form below for edit. Please how do I complete the Angularjs code to make this work. I included some codes.

HTML

<div ng-controller="nerDev as div1">
    <table>
        <tr>
            <th>S/N</th>
            <th>FName</th>
            <th>LName</th>
        </tr>
        <tr ng-repeat="mywrk in employees | filter:search">
            <td>{{ $index + 1 }}</td>
            <td>{{mywrk.fname}}</td>
            <td>{{mywrk.lname}}</td>
            <td><input type="button" class="btn btn-secondary"
                ng-model="row.clk" ng-click="EditRow()" value="Edit"/></td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</div>
<div class='col-sm-12'>
    <form method="post" novalidate autocomplete="off">
        <div class="form-group">
            <label>FName:</label> <input type="text" class="form-control"
                ng-model="edit.fname" ng-required="true">
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
            <label>LName</label> <input type="text" class="form-control"
                ng-model="edit.lname" ng-required="true">
        </div>
        <input class="btn btn-secondary" type="submit" value="Update">
        <input class="btn btn-secondary" type="submit" value="Cancel">
    </form>
</div>

Javascript

var app = angular.module("myApp", ['ngRoute', 'ngResource' ]);
app.controller('MainCtrl', ['$scope','$filter', function ($scope, $filter){

  $scope.employees = [
    { 'fname': 'Kelly', 'lname': 'Bob'},
    { 'fname': 'Jay', 'lname': 'White'}
  ];

}]);

In your edit button, just pass your object to your function like this

ng-click="EditRow(mywrk)"

then in you controller, just add that function and assign the object you've passed to your $scope.edit object like this

$scope.edit = {}; //you need to initialize this first to prevent error
$scope.EditRow = function(item) {
  $scope.edit = item;
}

And you're done.

@JkAlombro thanks, the code works but i'm still having a problem. The data is not showing on my the form, but when i logged it on the console it worked. Please could you help me on why the data not showing on the form for edit? Cheers!

@JKAlombro answer is one way. Another way, you can get it by $index.

In button click event, you need pass row index

ng-click="EditRow($index)"
in controller side

$scope.edit = {}; $scope.EditRow = function(index) { $scope.edit = $scope.employees[index]; }
