Hide button after ng-click using AngularJS - angularjs

I'm new to angularjs and wanted to know how to hide a button after clicking (using ng-click) on it.
<button ng-click="xyz()" class="btn-default pull-right">
Start
</button>

Basically, you needs two things:
A variable leveraging the button visibility
A function to update this variable (you could do it in the HTML but I discourage it).
So you would have your button:
<button ng-click="hideButton()" ng-show="isButtonVisible === true" class="btn-default pull-right">
Start
</button>
Then, you would have the following variables
$scope.isButtonVisible = true; // true to make the button visible by default
And finally, the function that toggles it:
$scope.hideButton = function() {
$scope.isButtonVisible = false;
}
Note that you could use ng-if to remove the button from the DOM if you won't need it again.
Example: https://plnkr.co/edit/fnW8HR58zKHs4T34XRan
Note that this is pretty much the most basic question you could have on AngularJS, so I would advice you to read a bit about it before asking Stack Overflow.

You will need a variable to denote the visibility of the button, its value will change with click event.
<button ng-click="clickEventFunction(params)" ng-hide="isButtonVissible">Button</button>
The default value of this variable should be "false" to show the button
$scope.isButtonVissible = false
Then in the clickEventFunction, change the value to hide the button
$scope.clickEventFunction = function(params){
$scope.isButtonVissible = true;
//* Do the logic code
}

I found the answer to the question with some assistance. Created an event in the click function and was able to hide the button.
<button ng-click="xyz($event)" class="btn-default pull-right">Start</button>
$scope.xyz = function ($event) {
$($event.target).hide();
Cheers to all your guidance.

In View:
<button ng-click="hideBtn = true" ng-hide="hideBtn">Button</button>
In controller :
$scope.hideBtn = false;

Modal is closed when cursor is released outside the modal after Chrome update (angularjs and bootstrap-ui)

Sometimes when I want to quickly select the entire text of an input (within a modal), I begin selecting from the end of the text and move the mouse to the left until the entire text is selected and then I release.
Sometimes this release will occur outside the modal because the mouse movement is fast.
Picture describing the movement:
The problem is that the modal is closed when I release outside.
Question: how can I prevent the modal from closing when releasing outside?
I'm okay with the modal being closed with a click outside. But not okay with the release event.
I'm using:
angularjs 1.5.8
angular-bootstrap 2.5.0 (aka bootstrap-ui)
bootstrap 3.3.7 (only css!!! not js, because js is provided by the above)
Update:
I've created a plunkr and a GIF:
https://plnkr.co/edit/mxDLAdnrQ4p0KKyw?p=info
<div class="modal-body">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="">Foo</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control input-sm" ng-model="foo">
<p>Do this: select the text from right to left and release the mouse outside the modal.</p>
</div>
</div>

Update 2
I have new information! This started happening after the last Goole Chrome update! I tried with another computer that had the previous version of Chrome and the modal doesn't close.
//prevent modal close when click starts in modal and ends on backdrop
$(document).on('mousedown', '.modal', function(e){
window.clickStartedInModal = $(e.target).is('.modal-dialog *');
});
$(document).on('mouseup', '.modal', function(e){
if(!$(e.target).is('.modal-dialog *') && window.clickStartedInModal) {
window.preventModalClose = true;
}
});
$("#modal").on("hide.bs.modal", function (e) {
if(window.preventModalClose){
window.preventModalClose = false;
return false;
}
});
The original repository has been archived and no contributions are accepted.
I forked a version and added my fixes for those who are interested:
https://github.com/peteriman/bootstrap
The comparison below:
https://github.com/angular-ui/bootstrap/compare/master...peteriman:modal-patch
= // moved from template to fix issue #2280
- element.on('click', scope.close);
+ var ignoreClick = false;
+ element.on('mousedown', function(evt1) {
+ element.one('mouseup', function(evt2) {
+ if (evt1.target !== evt2.target)
+ ignoreClick = true;
+ });
+ });
+ element.on('click', function(){
+ if (ignoreClick) ignoreClick = false;
+ else scope.close.apply(this, arguments);
+ });
As mousedown and mouseup events trigger before click event, the code checks if mousedown and mouseup are on the same element. If on different elements, it sets ignoreClick=true for the click event to not trigger.
Maintains backward compatibility for click event for existing codes that calls element.click() programmatically.

Solution by me: (plkr, modal.js, line 103-114)
https://plnkr.co/edit/V42G9NcTUnH9n9M4?p=info&preview
I updated only the code referring to "Modal.js" in bootstrap.js and bootstrap.min.js
Corrected version:
* Bootstrap: modal.js v3.4.1
* https://getbootstrap.com/docs/3.4/javascript/#modals
bootstrap.js print
Yes, this started happening again after the last Goole Chrome update Version 74.0.3729.169, is this a bug with Chrome we can't fix and that we'll just have to wait for a Chrome update for it to be resolved?
or a bootstrap maintainer will update the code for fixing this?
Issue url: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/28844
This problem is not recent is already mentioned on github
https://github.com/angular-ui/bootstrap/issues/5810
the following solution works very well with small improvements if necessary.
$rootScope.$watch(() => document.querySelectorAll('.modal').length, val => {
//everytime the number of modals changes
for (let modal of document.querySelectorAll('.modal')) {
if ($uibModalStack.getTop().value.backdrop !== 'static') { // Testing if the
modal is supposed to be static before attaching the event
modal.addEventListener('mousedown', e => {
if (e.which === 1) {
$uibModalStack.getTop().key.dismiss()
}
})
modal.querySelector('.modal-content').addEventListener('mousedown', e => {
e.stopPropagation()
})
}
}
if (val > 0) {
$uibModalStack.getTop().value.backdrop = 'static'
}
})
Another solution on the same principle that keeps the draggrable footer and header of the modal
$rootScope.$watch(function () {
return $document.find('.modal').length;
}, function (val) {
if(openedWindows.top() ) {
var modal = $document.find('.modal');
angular.forEach(modal, function(value) {
if ($modalStack.getTop().value.backdrop !== 'static') {
value.addEventListener('mousedown', function (e) {
if (value === e.target && e.which === 1 && openedWindows.top()) {
$modalStack.getTop().key.dismiss();
}
});
}
});
if (val>0) {
$modalStack.getTop().value.backdrop = 'static';
}
}
});
I'm using Bootstrap v3.0.0 and ran into the same problem. In the end, I had to change a click event to a mousedown event.
In my bootstrap.js file, under the modal.js section, I changed this.$element.on('click.dismiss.modal', $.proxy(function (e) to this.$element.on('mousedown.dismiss.modal', $.proxy(function (e). and everything appears to be working. You may also have to change this in the bootstrap.min.js file.
Note, this will immediately close the modal on mouse down of backdrop so if for some reason you want a user to be able to click down on the backdrop, then drag the mouse and release on the modal, this will not work.
Have you tried using backdrop: 'static'. I think that should do the trick. It is present in the documentation here
Add css padding around modal window and resize it larger. Click outside still works but releasing mouse while dragging over the edge won't close it.
I had a similar situation with range slider. leaving click during slide outside the modal closes it. so I removed data-toggle="modal" and data-target="#mymodal" and added a click event with extra parameters
jQuery('button#modal_toggler').click(function(){
jQuery('#myModal').modal({
backdrop: 'static',
keyboard: false
})
})
backdrop to disable modal close on clicking outside
keyboard this is for my scenario, to disable keyboard entry for closing modal
I have figured out different way to solve the problem, idk if it will cause a problem later but anyway it works, so basically, I put modal-dialog to another <div> object (I call it modal-helper) and then put it to modal. The modal-helper element width and height are inherited (100%) as default but there is small space on top so you can use some margin and padding to close it.
<div class="modal fade" id="login-modal" tabindex="-1" aria-labelledby="loginModalLabel" style="display: none;" aria-hidden="true">
<div id="modal-helper" style="pointer-events: auto;">
<div class="modal-dialog">
...
</div>
</div>
</div>
Then I have used some JS to hide modal when modal-helper (as backdrop) is clicked (by the 'clicked' I mean when pointerup event triggered after pointerdown event on modal-helper).
The code below sets the value of isPointerDownToModalHelper true when pointerdown event triggered on modal-helper, then when the pointerup event triggered on any object it hides the modal and sets the value of isPointerDownToModalHelper back to false:
var login_modal_helper = document.getElementById('modal-helper')
var isPointerDownToModalHelper = false;
addEventListener('pointerdown', (event) => {
var objectID = event['path']['0']['id'];
if (objectID === login_modal_helper.id) { // if pointer was over modal-helper
isPointerDownToModalHelper = true;
}
});
addEventListener('pointerup', (event) => {
if (isPointerDownToModalHelper === true) {
isPointerDownToModalHelper = false;
$('#login-modal').modal('hide'); // hide the modal
}
});
It seems to work fine for now, I hope it can help someone :).

My function in my controller works but does not update the view (Angularjs)

I've some fields, they can be edited. The user can cancel the edition mode with the button 'Cancel':
<button ng-click="cancelEdit();" ng-show="editable">
<i class="fa fa-remove"></i> Cancel
</button>
The event ng-click call the function cancelEdit().
$scope.cancelEdit = function(){
$scope.editable=false;
$scope.jobNameInput = $scope.jobToView.name;
$scope.selectedPriority = $scope.jobToView.priority;
$scope.jobCommentsInput = $scope.jobToView.comments;
}
In this function, I just want to set the boolean variable for edition mode to false and reinit the values of my inputs to the default value (before edition mode). After this function is calling, the values are updated for the controller, but not in my view:
<button ng-click="editable=true;" ng-show="!editable">
<i class="fa fa-edit"></i> Edit
</button>
This button is shown when the variable editable is set to false. So when I click on the cancel button, theoretically, the button Edit must be shown and my inputs should be updated. Why is this not the case ?
Primitives are immutable – i.e. its value cannot be changed by invoking functions on it.
Your $scope.editable is a boolean variable which is primitive. That's why the view does not get updated. Its value gets changed only in the closure of your function.
To apply it in your view you should change it to a non primitive value. This could be done if you set it as a property of an object.
E.g.
$scope.isEditable = {
value:false
}
Then play around with that object. In your case:
Cancel button:
<button ng-click="cancelEdit();" ng-show="isEditable.value">
<i class="fa fa-remove"></i> Cancel
</button>
Edit button:
<button ng-click="isEditable.value=true;" ng-show="!isEditable.value">
<i class="fa fa-edit"></i> Edit
</button>
Function:
$scope.cancelEdit = function(){
$scope.isEditable.value = false;
$scope.jobNameInput = $scope.jobToView.name;
$scope.selectedPriority = $scope.jobToView.priority;
$scope.jobCommentsInput = $scope.jobToView.comments;
}
Thanks to Korte for the answer on the boolean variable.
To complete, with regard to the inputs, I found the answer to my question. Simply declare in the controller:var vm = this;;
And simply, in the model of the input, write: ng-model="vm.jobCommentsInput"
I think so the inputs are considered as my boolean variable and they needs to be objects.

how to toggle medium editor option on click using angularjs

I am trying to toggle the medium editor option (disableEditing) on button click. On the click the value for the medium editor option is changed but the medium editor does not use 'updated' value.
AngularJS Controller
angular.module('myApp').controller('MyCtrl',
function MyCtrl($scope) {
$scope.isDisableEdit = false;
});
Html Template
<div ng-app='myApp' ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<span class='position-left' medium-editor ng-model='editModel' bind-options="{'disableEditing': isDisableEdit, 'placeholder': {'text': 'type here'}}"></span>
<button class='position-right' ng-click='isDisableEdit = !isDisableEdit'>
Click to Toggle Editing
</button>
<span class='position-right'>
toggle value - {{isDisableEdit}}
</span>
</div>
I have created a jsfiddle demo.
I think initialising medium editor on 'click' could solve the issue, but i am not sure how to do that either.
using thijsw angular medium editor and yabwe medium editor
For this specific use case, you could try just disabling/enabling the editor when the button is clicked:
var editor = new MediumEditor(iElement);
function onClick(event) {
if (editor.isActive) {
editor.destroy();
} else {
editor.setup();
}
}
In the above example, the onClick function is a handler for that toggle button you defined.
If you're just trying to enable/disable the user's ability to edit, I think those helpers should work for you.
MediumEditor does not currently support changing configuration options on an already existing instance. So, if you were actually trying to change a value for a MediumEditor option (ie disableEditing) you would need to .destroy() the previous instance, and create a new instance of the editor:
var editor = new MediumEditor(iElement),
editingAllowed = true;
function onClick(event) {
editor.destroy();
if (editingAllowed) {
editor = new MediumEditor(iElement, { disableEditing: true });
} else {
editor = new MediumEditor(iElement);
}
editingAllowed = !editingAllowed;
}
Once instantiated, you can use .setup() and .destroy() helper methods to tear-down and re-initialize the editor respectively. However, you cannot pass new options unless you create a new instance of the editor itself.
One last note, you were calling the init() method above. This method is not officially supported or documented and it may be going away in future releases, so I would definitely avoid calling that method if you can.
Or you could just use this dirty hack : duplicate the medium-editor element (one with disableEditing enabled, the other with disableEditing disabled), and show only one at a time with ng-show / ng-hide :)
<span ng-show='isDisableEdit' class='position-left' medium-editor ng-model='editModel' bind-options="{'disableEditing': true ,'disableReturn': isDisableEdit, 'placeholder': {'text': 'type here'}}"></span>
<span ng-hide='isDisableEdit' class='position-left' medium-editor ng-model='editModel' bind-options="{'disableEditing':false ,'disableReturn': isDisableEdit, 'placeholder': {'text': 'type here'}}"></span>
You can see jsfiddle.

Change Single Button Color from ngRepeat generated button list

I'm using ngRepeat to generate four buttons. Whenever I click one of the buttons, I want to change its color and also execute a function (for now, I'm just using console.log for sake of simplicity). If I click on another button, I want to change its color while reverting the previous button back to its original color.
I have a couple of issues - the first is that I can't seem to get ng-click to accept two commands (the first being the console.log function and the second being the instruction to change the button color). The other issue is that if I take out the console.log function, I end up changing all of the buttons when I click on one.
Any ideas? Here's the plunkr: http://plnkr.co/edit/x1yLEGNOcBNfVw2BhbWA. You'll see the console.log works but the button changing doesn't work. Am I doing something wrong with this ng-click?
<span class="btn cal-btn btn-default" ng-class="{'activeButton':selectedButt === 'me'}" ng-click="log(element);selectedButt = 'me'" data-ng-repeat="element in array">{{element}}</span>
You can create a simple function in your controller which handles this logic:
$scope.selectButton = function(index) {
$scope.activeBtn = index;
}
Then, you can simply check in your template if the current button is active:
<span class="btn cal-btn btn-default" ng-class="{true:'activeButton'}[activeBtn == $index]" ng-click="selectButton($index);" ng-repeat="element in array">{{element}}</span>
I also changed your plunkr
You may convert your element list from string array to object array first.
$scope.array = [
{"name":"first", "checked":false},
{"name":"second", "checked":false},
{"name":"third", "checked":false},
{"name":"fourth", "checked":false}
];
And your log function need to change to:
$scope.log = function(element) {
console.log(element.name);
angular.forEach($scope.array, function(elem) {
elem.checked = false;
});
element.checked = !element.checked;
}
Then, in your HTML:
<button class="btn cal-btn"
ng-repeat="element in array"
ng-click="log(element)"
ng-class="{activeButton: element.checked, 'btn-default': !element.checked}"
>{{element.name}}</button>

ng-disabled in angularjs is not working for me

I'm trying to enable and disable the button using some condition
I am able to disable the button using $scope.isDisabled = true; , but can't enable the button
Here is my code
HTML file
<input type="submit" value="Continue" ng-model="isDisabled" ng-disabled="isDisabled">
Controller JS file
$scope.isDisabled = true; // here the button disabled (for me)
if (count >= 3) { // it's always true
$scope.isDisabled = false; // try to enable the button here
}
Do not use $scope.apply. That is not what it is meant for.
The button does not need to be bound to a model, try removing the ng-model from the button.
Also, if it is an input type of "submit" and you are not inside an ng-form, that might
cause a postback and you might lose your state.
Here is a plunk that shows it working - i made some assumptions to get the plunk going. added an extra button that triggered the count increments.
