@ngdoc error
@name $rootScope:infdig
@fullName Infinite $digest Loop
@description
This error occurs when the application's model becomes unstable and each `$digest` cycle triggers a state change and subsequent `$digest` cycle.
Angular detects this situation and prevents an infinite loop from causing the browser to become unresponsive.
For example, the situation can occur by setting up a watch on a path and subsequently updating the same path when the value changes.
```
$scope.$watch('foo', function() {
$scope.foo = $scope.foo + 1;
});
```
One common mistake is binding to a function which generates a new array every time it is called. For example:
```
{{ user.name }}
...
$scope.getUsers = function() {
return [ { name: 'Hank' }, { name: 'Francisco' } ];
};
```
Since `getUsers()` returns a new array, Angular determines that the model is different on each `$digest`
cycle, resulting in the error. The solution is to return the same array object if the elements have
not changed:
```
var users = [ { name: 'Hank' }, { name: 'Francisco' } ];
$scope.getUsers = function() {
return users;
});
```
The maximum number of allowed iterations of the `$digest` cycle is controlled via TTL setting which can be configured via {@link ng.$rootScopeProvider $rootScopeProvider}.
