I'm in a condition where I've got a JSON file with all my data.
Those data are generating an HTML component of my code.
The issue is that, occasionally, the component code needs to change: in particular, a <div> has to become a <a>, due to the presence of a link.
The end result should be like this:
<div class="container">
<div class="a b c">
content
</div>
<div class="a b c">
content
</div>
<a href="#" class="a b c">
content
</div>
</div>
my data structure is something like this:
'element1':{
'properties' = 'properties',
'isLink' = 'true'
},
'element2':{
'properties' = 'properties',
'isLink' = 'false'
},
I am printing the <div> or the <a> with a loop of Angular, but can't find a clean way to tell the code something like "if 'isLink' = 'true' print an <a>, else print a <div>".
The closest solution I've found is this one below, which prints a useless span that breaks all the CSS:
<div class="container>
<span ng-repeat="element in row.element">
<div ng-if="element.isLink == false">
content
</div>
<a ng-if="element.isLink == true">
content
</a>
</span>
</div>
Has anyone a solution to make it cleaner?
Thank you all.
You can do that by using ng-repeat-start and ng-repeat-end:
<div class="container">
<div ng-repeat-start="item in array" ng-if="!item.isLink">...</div>
<a ng-repeat-end ng-if="item.isLink" href="#">...</a>
</div>
I would replace the parent span with a div element because divs have
display: block;
by default, while spans have
display: inline;
and probably that is why your css is breaking. Your html/angularjs code seems perfectly fine to me. Try to solve your css problem instead.

I want to generate a span element for each saved tag from my collection tag's array.
I use firebase and get in *ngFor loop i get one big span element with all saved tags separated by comma, instead of getting a span for each tag. Is there any way that i can't prevent this from happening. Also i have created an interface for Saved.
Thanks in advance.
<div class="card">
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title text-center">{{saved?.title}}</h5>
<hr />
<div *ngFor="let tag of saved.tags">
<span class="badge badge-pill badge-primary">{{saved?.tags}}</span>
</div>
<hr /> View
</div>
</div>
//Saved interface in Saved.ts file
export interface Saved {
id: string;
title: string;
tags: string[];
}
Try having your code like this. This should make the span element repeat rather than the div and then make sure to reference the individual tag rather than the array inside.
If the tag has a name / title attribute swap {{ tag }} for {{ tag.title}}
looking at the interface its just {{ tag }}.
<div>
<span *ngFor="let tag of saved.tags" class="badge badge-pill badge-primary">
{{tag}}
</span>
</div>
Reference to Angular docs on using *ngFor to display data.
At the moment, you are referencing the array inside your *ngFor. So, as a result, you should see the whole list of n tags, for n times. If you switch from {{saved?.tags}} to {{tag}}. You will see one div per tag including one span and a single tag inside.
So for getting one span per tag, use it like the following:
<div class="card">
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title text-center">{{saved?.title}}</h5>
<hr />
<div>
<span class="badge badge-pill badge-primary" *ngFor="let tag of saved.tags">
{{tag}}
</span>
</div>
<hr />
View
</div>
</div>
This can be a dumb question. But I hope you can help me with this. I'm doing something like this:
<div ng-repeat="item in list" class="display-item">
<ng-include src="mytemplate.html"></ng-include>
<div ng-if="($index%2) == 0">
<p>An inserted content when index is an even number.</p>
</div>
</div>
Now this is working. The problem starts when I'm making the page responsive in all devices, cause you see when I inserted the p tag, it was created inside the parent div tag with the class display-item. What I want to do is put it outside the div tag so when the screen is smaller the p tag will not be affected by the parent tag and vise versa. So something like this:
<div ng-repeat="item in list" class="display-item">
<ng-include src="mytemplate.html"></ng-include>
</div>
<div ng-if="($index%2) == 0">
<p>An inserted content when index is an even number.</p>
</div>
Now the problem with the code above is $index is undefined on that part of the code and I know ng-repeat will finish iterating first before going to the second div.
Thanks in advance!
This can be easily done by using ng-repeat-start and ng-repeat-end
Try like this:
<div ng-repeat-start="item in list" class="display-item">
<ng-include src="mytemplate.html"></ng-include>
</div>
<div ng-repeat-end ng-if="($index%2) == 0">
<p>An inserted content when index is an even number.</p>
</div>
#Jed, could you put a class tag on the ng-if div for an outer div? Say
<div ng-if="($index%2)" class="outer-div-you-want">
Just a thought to try.
I have a very simple thing I am trying to do. The ng-click is not working. Any ideas why? Is there a problem with divs that are embedded in another div or am I just too sleepy? That item affected is not included in the code below, but no event is ever registered with the click.
<div ng-switch-when="3" ng-mouseenter="showIcons=true" ng-mouseleave="showIcons=false">
<div ng-if="editPerm" ng-show="showIcons" class="icon_holder" style="width: {{obj.mainwidth}}px;">
<div class="deletebutton"></div>
<div ng-click="equationShow=!equationShow" class="equationspecs"></div>
</div>
<div class="equationBlock">
<div class="eqshow" id="{{obj.itemid}}" ng-show="!obj.showEdit" ng-dblclick="obj.showEdit=!obj.showEdit">
<span mathjax-bind="obj.data.Format_left"></span>=
<span mathjax-bind="obj.data.Format_showequation"></span>=
<span mathjax-bind="obj.data.Format_showsolution"></span>
</div>
If you were able to click on a div with no content in it (sometimes a hard thing to do!), it would simply invert the value of equationShow on the scope.
But that would produce no visible difference. From what I can see in your example, the value of equationShow isn't being used in any way.
Based on your comment, you've probably got a problem with variable scoping.
If, for instance, you did something like this, it'd be more likely to work:
<div ng-init="myVariable = false">
<div ng-if="!myVariable">
<div ng-click="$parent.myVariable = !$parent.myVariable">Show the other div</div>
</div>
<div ng-if="myVariable">
Showing this div
</div>
</div>
I'm trying to get Angular to generate a CSS slider based on my data. I know that the data is there and am able to generate it for the buttons, but the code won't populate the ng-switch-when for some reason. When I inspect the code, I see this twice (which I know to be correct as I only have two items):
<div ng-repeat="assignment in assignments" ng-animate="'animate'" class="ng-scope">
<!-- ngSwitchWhen: {{assignment.id}} -->
</div>
My actual code:
<div ng-init="thisAssignment='one'">
<div class="btn-group assignments" style="display: block; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 10px">
<span ng-repeat="assignment in assignments">
<button ng-click="thisAssignment = '{{assignment.id}}'" class="btn btn-primary">{{assignment.num}}</button>
</span>
</div>
<div class="well" style="height: 170px;">
<div ng-switch="thisAssignment">
<div class="assignments">
<div ng-repeat="assignment in assignments" ng-animate="'animate'">
<div ng-switch-when='{{assignment.id}}' class="my-switch-animation">
<h2>{{assignment.name}}</h2>
<p>{{assignment.text}}</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
EDIT: This is what I'm trying to emulate, though with dynamic data. http://plnkr.co/edit/WUCyCN68tDR1YzNnCWyS?p=preview
From the docs —
Be aware that the attribute values to match against cannot be expressions. They are
interpreted as literal string values to match against. For example, ng-switch-when="someVal"
will match against the string "someVal" not against the value of the expression
$scope.someVal.
So in other words, ng-switch is for hardcoding conditions in your templates.
You would use it like so:
<div class="assignments">
<div ng-repeat="assignment in assignments" ng-animate="'animate'">
<div ng-switch="assignment.id">
<div ng-switch-when='1' class="my-switch-animation">
<h2>{{assignment.name}}</h2>
<p>{{assignment.text}}</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Now this might not fit your use case exactly, so it's possible you'll have to rethink your strategy.
Ng-If is probably what you need — also, you need to be aware of "isolated" scopes. Basically when you use certain directives, like ng-repeat, you create new scopes which are isolated from their parents. So if you change thisAssignmentinside a repeater, you're actually changing the variable inside that specific repeat block and not the whole controller.
Here's a demo of what you're going for.
Notice I assign the selected property to the things array (it's just an object).
Update 12/12/14: Adding a new block of code to clarify the use of ng-switch. The code example above should be considered what not to do.
As I mentioned in my comment. Switch should be thought about exactly like a JavaScript switch. It's for hardcoded switching logic. So for instance in my example posts, there are only going to be a few types of posts. You should know a head of time the types of values you are going to be switching on.
<div ng-repeat="post in posts">
<div ng-switch on="post.type">
<!-- post.type === 'image' -->
<div ng-switch-when="image" class="post post-image">
<img ng-src="{{ post.image }} />
<div ng-bind="post.content"></div>
</div>
<!-- post.type === 'video' -->
<div ng-switch-when="video" class="post post-video">
<video ng-src="{{ post.video }} />
<div ng-bind="post.content"></div>
</div>
<!-- when above doesn't match -->
<div ng-switch-default class="post">
<div ng-bind="post.content"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
You could implement this same functionality with ng-if, it's your job to decide what makes sense within your application. In this case the latter is much more succinct, but also more complicated, and you could see it getting much more hairy if the template were any more complex. Basic distinction is ng-switch is declarative, ng-if is imperative.
<div ng-repeat="post in posts">
<div class="post" ng-class="{
'post-image': post.type === 'image',
'post-video': post.type === 'video'">
<video ng-if="post.type === 'video'" ng-src="post.video" />
<img ng-if="post.type === 'image'" ng-src="post.image" />
<div ng-bind="post.content" />
</div>
</div>
Jon is definitely right on. Angular does not support dynamic ngSwitchWhen values. But I wanted it to. I found it actually exceptionally simple to use my own directive in place of ngSwitchWhen. Not only does it support dynamic values but it supports multiple values for each statement (similar to JS switch fall-throughs).
One caveat, it only evaluates the expression once upon compile time, so you must return the correct value immediately. For my purposes this was fine as I was wanting to use constants defined elsewhere in the application. It could probably be modified to dynamically re-evaluate the expressions but that would require more testing with ngSwitch.
I am use angular 1.3.15 but I ran a quick test with angular 1.4.7 and it worked fine there as well.
Plunker Demo
The Code
module.directive('jjSwitchWhen', function() {
// Exact same definition as ngSwitchWhen except for the link fn
return {
// Same as ngSwitchWhen
priority: 1200,
transclude: 'element',
require: '^ngSwitch',
link: function(scope, element, attrs, ctrl, $transclude) {
var caseStms = scope.$eval(attrs.jjSwitchWhen);
caseStms = angular.isArray(caseStms) ? caseStms : [caseStms];
angular.forEach(caseStms, function(caseStm) {
caseStm = '!' + caseStm;
ctrl.cases[caseStm] = ctrl.cases[caseStm] || [];
ctrl.cases[caseStm].push({ transclude: $transclude, element: element });
});
}
};
});
Usage
Controller
$scope.types = {
audio: '.mp3',
video: ['.mp4', '.gif'],
image: ['.jpg', '.png', '.gif'] // Can have multiple matching cases (.gif)
};
Template
<div ng-switch="mediaType">
<div jj-switch-when="types.audio">Audio</div>
<div jj-switch-when="types.video">Video</div>
<div jj-switch-when="types.image">Image</div>
<!-- Even works with ngSwitchWhen -->
<div ng-switch-when=".docx">Document</div>
<div ng-switch-default>Invalid Type</div>
<div>
In AngularJS, to simply show a field through an a tag, I would do in this way:
<div ng-show="aField">Content of aField</div>
<a ng-click="aField=true">Show aField</a>
until here, no problem.
I would like now to put more buttons and fields so that, when I click on A it shows the content of A, then when I click on button B, content of A disappears and content of B appears.
How can I do this? Thank you.
UPDATE
Thank you everyone for your solutions, they works! Now, I am doing a template for every content of and because I have much data to show but all in the same structure.
Here the index.html
<div ng-model="methods"
ng-include="'templateMethod.html'"
ng-repeat = "method in methods">
here the script.js:
function Ctrl($scope) {
$scope.methods =
[ { name: 'method1',
description: 'bla bla bla',
benefits: 'benefits of method1',
bestPractices : 'bestPractices',
example: 'example'},
{ name: 'method2',
description: 'bla bla bla',
benefits: 'benefits of method2',
bestPractices : 'bestPractices',
example: 'example'} ];
}
and here the templateMethod.html:
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<div ng-show="toShow=='{{method.name}}Field'">
<h3>{{mmethodethod.name}}</h3>
<p>
<strong>Description</strong>
{{method.description}}
</p>
<p>
<strong>Benefits</strong>
{{method.benefits}}
</p>
<p>
<strong>Best practices</strong>
{{method.bestPractices}}
</p>
<p>
<strong>Examples</strong>
{{method.example}}
</p>
</div>
</td>
<td class = "sidebar">
<ul>
<li><a ng-click="toShow='{{method.name}}Field'" class="{{method.name}} buttons">{{method.name}}</a></li>
</ul>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
It works!
But: if I click the first button and then the second one, the content of the first button do not disappear, it appears under the content of the first button...
Problem with the repetition?
Thanks
It might be better to handle more complex logic in the controller, but in general think about the content of the directive strings as normal js:
<div ng-show="aField">Content of aField</div>
<div ng-show="bField">Content of bField</div>
<a ng-click="aField=true; bField=false">Show aField</a>
<a ng-click="aField=false; bField=true">Show bField</a>
Or use ng-show in concert with ng-hide:
<div ng-show="aField">Content of aField</div>
<div ng-hide="aField">Content of bField</div>
<a ng-click="aField=true">Show aField</a>
<a ng-click="aField=false">Show bField</a>
In the former strategy, nothing shows upon page load. In the latter, the bField content shows by default. If you have more than two items, you might do something like:
<div ng-show="toShow=='aField'">Content of aField</div>
<div ng-show="toShow=='bField'">Content of bField</div>
<div ng-show="toShow=='cField'">Content of cField</div>
<a ng-click="toShow='aField'">Show aField</a>
<a ng-click="toShow='bField'">Show bField</a>
<a ng-click="toShow='cField'">Show cField</a>
I'm guessing that you have a list of items and want to show each item content. Something an accordion component does.
Here is a plunker that shows how you could do it: http://plnkr.co/edit/UTf3dEImiDReC89vULpX?p=preview
Or if you want to display the content on the same place (something like a master detail view) you can do it like this: http://plnkr.co/edit/68DJHL582oY4ecSiiUdE?p=preview
simply use one variable which content is visible. http://jsfiddle.net/gjbw7/
<a ng-click="show='a'">Show aField</a>
.
<div ng-show="show=='a'">Content of aField</div>
I would recommend to create a service in case your fields belong to different controllers.
Service:
App.factory('StateService', function() {
return {
openPanel: ''
};
});
Injecting the service in a Controller:
App.controller('OneCtrl', function($scope, StateService) {
$scope.stateService = StateService;
});
Finally using it a view:
<a ng-click="stateService.openPanel='home'">Home</a>
<div ng-show="stateService.openPanel == 'home'">Content of Home</div>
Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/codef0rmer/BZcdu/
Try this way.
<div>{{content}}</div>
<a ng-click="content='a'">Show aField</a>
<br>
<a ng-click="content='b'">Show bField</a>
<br>
<a ng-click="content='c'">Show cField</a>
<br>
<a ng-click="content='d'">Show dField</a>
<br>
<a ng-click="content='e'">Show eField</a>
<br>
<a ng-click="content='f'">Show fField</a>
Take a look at the ng-switch directive.
<div ng-switch="aField">
<div ng-switch-when="someValue1">
HTML content that will be shown when the aField variable value is equal to someValue1
</div>
<div ng-switch-when="someValue2">
HTML content that will be shown when the aField variable value is equal to someValue2
</div>
<div ng-switch-default>
This is where the default HTML content will go (if aField value is not equal to any of the ng-switch-when values)
</div>
</div>
