We are using AngularJS, and we require to run a function that determines whether or not the checkbox the user clicked on is actually checked. I have tried to pass $event on ngChange, but discovered it is unable to pass the $event object. The reason I want to access the $event object is so I could prevent the default behaviour until the required function has been called.
The code is as follows (does not include the code where I attempted to pass $event as it didn't work):
<label for="specificCase">
Yes
<input
type="checkbox"
name="specificCase"
data-ng-click="specificCase.no = false; specificCase.unsure = false;"
data-ng-model="specificCase.yes"
data-ng-change="$ctrl.specificCaseCheck('yes', specificCase.yes)">
</label>
<label for="notSpecificCase">
No
<input
type="checkbox"
name="notSpecificCase"
data-ng-click="specificCase.yes = false; specificCase.unsure = false;"
data-ng-model="specificCase.no"
data-ng-change="$ctrl.specificCaseCheck('no', specificCase.no)">
</label>
controller
function specificCaseCheck(value, boolean) {
//HERE I WANT TO PREVENT THE DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR OF THE CHECKBOX CHECKING
vm.optionSelected = !boolean ? false : true;
vm.caseSpecific = value == 'yes' && boolean ? true : false;
}
Question
How do I keep the checkbox unchecked until I have run a function in the controller?
Since you need to prevent default behavior but dont have the event you can follow the approach of this question Angular 2 Checkbox preventDefault
Basically you need to return false in your event handler to prevent the default behavior of "checking the checkbox when is clicked" then you can click it programatically
For that you can check this question Angular 4 checkbox set programmatically

I have a checkbox that I'd like to set the indeterminate state to based on the states of other checkboxes. When I'm on the page that the checkboxes are all in, it updates as expected (i.e. the checkbox is found). But when I navigate to that from another page, my method does not find the checkbox (i.e. returns null).
When I debug in Chrome devtools, I notice
let checkBoxWithIndeterminateState;
let checkbox = false;
fireWhenCheckBoxChanged() {
// returns null when navigating from another page but not when on its own page
checkBoxWithIndeterminateState = document.getElementById('checkBoxWithIndeterminateState')
checkBoxWithIndeterminateState.indeterminate = true
}
Template:
<input type="checkbox" id="checkBoxWithIndeterminateState" data-ng-model="checkbox">
How do I wait until the new template has loaded before my method tries to find the checkbox? I've read some suggestions to use this._$scope.$on('$viewContentLoaded'... but this doesn't work.
Thanks!
What about adding an ng-init directive to your target checkbox and do your logic in it, this way you are sure the element is there, here is a suggestion:
<input type="checkbox" ng-init="initTragetCheckbox()">
In your controller
$scope.initTragetCheckbox = function () {
// your code to execute for other checkboxes
var checkbox1 = document.getElementById("checkbox1");
var checkbox2 = document.getElementById("checkbox2");
....
}
<input type="checkbox" value="" ng-model="filterPrivateDocCheckBox" ng-click="dl.filterPrivateDocument(filterPrivateDocCheckBox, $event)">
<input st-search="target" class="input-sm form-control" ng-model="dl.documentTarget" ng-change="dl.change()" />
function filterPrivateDocument(val)
{
if(val)
this.documentTarget = 'Private';
}
When I clicked on checkBox I set the value into text box, but I saw ng-change event doesn't get fired. why?
And also When I type some value in text box I observe that ng-change event gets fired.
Any fix for this problem?
According to the docs:
The ngChange expression is only evaluated when a change in the input value causes a new value to be committed to the model.
It will not be evaluated:
if the value returned from the $parsers transformation pipeline has
not changed
if the input has continued to be invalid since the model
will stay null
if the model is changed programmatically and not by a
change to the input value
So it will not be triggered when it is changed by JavaScript (/angular).
What you can do, is trigger the change function yourself:
function filterPrivateDocument(val) {
if(val) {
this.documentTarget = 'Private';
this.change();
}
}
See this jsfiddle
I hava a checkbox ,the model status.useJoin also bind the div.
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="status.useJoin" ng-click="toggleJoin($event);" >
<div ng-if="status.useJoin"> show area</div>
when status.useJoin is true ,will show div.
My question is ,when I want to prevent the default action of the checkbox. I will write function toggleJoin like this.
$scope.toggleJoin = function (dimension,$event) {
if (status.useJoin) {
$event.preventDefault();
return;
}
}
the checkbox action is stopped ,but status.useJoin is still modified. How can I stop the bind?
You can use ng-disabled directive
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="status.useJoin" ng-disabled="onYourDisableCondition();" >
$scope. onYourDisableCondition = function () {
if (status.useJoin) { //Add your additional conditions
return true;
}
}
I'm wiriting a method to toggle a checklist as checked / unchecked, as follow:
$scope.checkAllToggle = function(dtProvider, destiny, ev) {
$(ev.currentTarget).parent().find('span').html());
data[destiny] = [];
if ($(ev.currentTarget).parent().find('span').html()=='Check all') {
for (var val in data[dtProvider]) data[destiny].push(data[dtProvider][val].id);
$(ev.currentTarget).parent().find('span').html('Uncheck all');
}
else $(ev.currentTarget).parent().find('span').html('Check all');
}
The label of the toggle button changes every time, but the state of the checkboxs only becomes checked after 2 click, from this point change in each 3 clicks.
What's wrong?
Append
if(!$scope.$$phase) $scope.$apply();
to the method make no difference, as prepending $scope to data

Rather than do it that way, this would be the easier way to do it.
Make the master input and assign it to a model.
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="master">
Then have your other inputs be tied to the master like this.
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="box1" ng-checked="master">
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="box2" ng-checked="master">
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="box3" ng-checked="master">
Here is your plunker with these changes.
Master Checkbox Plunker
I got your plunker to work by doing this.
$scope.checkToggle = function(dtProvider, destiny, ev) {
$scope.data[destiny] = [];
if ($(ev.currentTarget).parent().find('span').html() == 'Check all') {
for (var val in $scope.data[dtProvider]){
$scope.data[destiny].push($scope.data[dtProvider][val].id);
$(ev.currentTarget).parent().find('span').html('Uncheck all');
}
} else {
$(ev.currentTarget).parent().find('span').html('Check all');
}
$scope.$apply();
};
I could not get it to work if calling safely like if(!$scope.$$phase){$scope.$apply();} but it is working with straight $scope.$apply(). This might have something to do with rootScope and need to be safetly called in a different manner.

You also had some missing {} in your code that could have been causing some issues.
EDIT: for those of you who don't want to go through the code, I'm basically passing the form a "node" object with node.selectedAnswer = "4,1,4" or some string like that. The form has radio buttons and one of the buttons has a value "4,1,4". the radio button also has ng-checked="node.selectedAnswer" expression. But that doesn't work. I know for sure that node.selectedAnswer has the appropriate value.
I have a series of radio button questions that I'm asking the user. I want them to be able to go previous and next. I'm using a stack to store the data retrieved from ajax call, as well as selectedAnswer when they select an option and click next. I've commented the code itself to explain the situation where I can. Everything seems to be working, except ng-checked is just not picking up node.selectedAnswer, even though I can output {{node.selectedAnswer}} properly to the page.
<div class="container-fluid" ng-app="AccountRequest" ng-controller="GameNode" ng-init="outside={}">
<div class="row-fluid">
<div class="span2"></div>
<div class="span10">
<form>
<!-- node.selectedAnswer displays the selectedAnswer correctly when clicking previous and going back.
However, ng-checked is somehow not selecting the appropriate radio button. -->
<span>{{node.Question.Text}} selected answer: {{node.selectedAnswer}}</span>
<div class="radio" ng-repeat="answer in node.Answers">
<input type="radio" id="answerGroup" name="answerGroup" ng-checked="node.selectedAnswer" ng-model="outside.selectedAnswer"
value="{{answer.BranchId}},{{node.LeafId}},{{answer.Id}}"/> {{answer.Text}}
</div>
<div>
<input type="button" ng-click="previous()" value="Previous"/>
<input type="button" ng-click="next(outside.selectedAnswer)" value="Next"/>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
//below is the script
app.controller('GameNode', function ($scope, $http) {
var nodes = [];
function load(branchId, leafId, answerId) {
$http.get("/AccountRequest/GetNode?branchId=" + branchId +
"&leafId=" + leafId +
"&answerId=" + answerId)
.success(function (data) {
//get data and push it in the stack
nodes.push(data);
$scope.node = data;
});
}
function populateValues(selectedAnswer) {
var answer = null;
if (selectedAnswer === undefined || selectedAnswer == null)
selectedAnswer = "0,0,0";
//when next is clicked, retrieve the selectedAnswer from form and store it in current node as a property.
if (nodes.length > 0) {
var curNode = nodes.pop();
curNode.selectedAnswer = selectedAnswer;
nodes.push(curNode);
}
answer = selectedAnswer.split(',');
if (answer != null) {
load(answer[0], answer[1], answer[2]);
}
}
$scope.next = populateValues;
$scope.previous = function () {
//when previous is clicked, pop the current node out and throw it away.
//then pop the previous node out, read it, and push it back in as current node.
if (nodes.length > 1) {
nodes.pop();
var prevNode = nodes.pop();
nodes.push(prevNode);
$scope.node = prevNode;
}
};
populateValues();
});
Older Answer - This works, (was marked correct) but using $parent can get a bit messy in nested repeats.
In this instance, you don't need to use ng-checked at all. Since this is a radio group, the checked attribute will be bound to the model. If the model is bound to the value of an individual radio button, then your ability to change which button is "checked" becomes very simple.
Here is a plunk that demonstrates the concept.
So in your case a few changes need to be made.
1. Get rid of 'id' attribute - the ID must be unique for each element.
2. Each item created in an ng-repeat creates its own child scope. So to access the original model, "$parent" must be invoked.
<input type="radio" name="answerGroup" ng-model="$parent.someAnswerAttribute"
value="{{answer.BranchId}},{{node.LeafId}},{{answer.Id}}"/>
In your controller define the model as you already did, then modify it to be tied to a value of a button, which in your case will be a bit lengthy, since you have multiple attributes within your value.
$scope.someAnswerAttribute = // exactly what the value of a radio button would be.
Again, the plunker above reflects this concept. Hope this helps!

Edit - Better Answer:
Since the ng-repeat creates its own child scope, and two-way binding is necessary, the ng-model should be referencing an object instead of a primitive. In other words, if the model was $scope.myModel="Biff", the child scope can not access that without invoking $parent (in the answer below). However, if the model is referencing a property of an object, the child will receive prototype inheritance of that object. (I think I said that right).
So using the older answer example, we can change:
From this in the parent controller:
$scope.someAnswerAttribute = "Biff";
To this in the parent controller:
$scope.someAnswerAttribute = {value: "Biff"}
And in the radio group:
<input type="radio" name="answerGroup" ng-model="someAnswerAttribue.value"
value="{{answer.BranchId}},{{node.LeafId}},{{answer.Id}}"/>
This plunk is forked from the older answer and demonstrates model as an object property.
