Angular UI bootstrap Modal is not working with AEM and sightly - angularjs

In my application, I am using Angular UI bootstrap with AEM and having the sightly parameters in the same.
The issue is, when I try to access the sightly parameters inside the script tag of UI modal It is not rendenring the sightly parameters.
< script type="text/ng-template" id="/view2.tpl" data-sly-include="template.html">
${properties.title}
< /script >
This specific problem is there with Sightly with AEM and angular. Can anyone suggest how to make a Modal work for Angular+AEM+sightly?
Help will be highly appreciated.

As per the specification, using data-sly-include will cause the content of the <script> tag to be replaced with the content of the included script.
If you want to use HTL/Sightly templates from template.html you should instead write data-sly-use.tpl="template.html"

First, for using templates, use the data-sly-use instead of data-sly-include.
Second, HTL (Sightly) escapes the expressions by default depending on the context where they are used. You can explicitly specify the context using the context option as shown below.
<script type="text/ng-template" id="/view2.tpl">
<!--/* Use scriptString if you are using the value as a string */-->
${properties.title # context='scriptString'}
<!--/* In case you are trying to output an entire function or javascript,
there is no context specifically available for that. So, you can use the
unsafe option to disable escaping completely */-->
${properties.title # context='unsafe'}
</script>

Chips autocomplete for Angular 1.6. No angular-material

I would need to add an autocomplete chips component in our Angular 1.6 application. We are using Typescript, Webpack 2. As we are already using angular-ui-bootstrap, we do not want to introduce also angular-material in order to avoid style conflicts. However the wished result is exactly what material chips provide.
Is there a directive or component that i can use in my case? I found this library but it runs endless exceptions when I import it.
unfortunately I could find only partial solutions with bootstrap typehead, but then I would need to implement all the "chips" part, making me think of re-inventing the wheel.
Stack Newb here. I have an identical problem as yours. Here's how I resolved this:
1. Resolve the ReferenceError: error is not defined within the angular-chips library
The library you used (angular-chips) wasn't designed with typescript in mind. So, you'll first need to resolve the following error ReferenceError: error is not defined by defining it for them in the line above with var error;. This should prepare angular-chips for your webpack useage.
The second issue you'll find is how to add your typeahead-template-url with webpack in the mix. Rather than referring to a separate html file, use an inline template as referenced here: Bootstrap-UI Typeahead display more than one property in results list?.
If you're lazy like me and don't want to follow that hyperlink, use this as example:
2. Template to be added before the <chips> tag:
<script type="text/ng-template" id="yourTemplate.html">
<a tabindex="-1">
<i ng-class="'icon-'+match.model.type"></i>
<span ng-bind-html-unsafe="match.model.title | typeaheadHighlight:query"></span>
</a>
</scrip>
3. Include template in your directive:
typeahead-template-url:"yourTemplate.html"
Worked like a charm for me.

script tag breaks sightly data-sly tag in author mode

I am using angular with sightly. So I have angular html template surrounded by script tag, which also has sightly attributes like data-sly-resource.
Below example code will give you clear idea.
<script type="text/ng-template" id="example.html">
<section data-sly-resource="${ #path='textOverImage', resourceType='example/components/textOverImage'}" id="textOverImage" >
<div ng-include="'private/textOverImage.html'" data-sly-test="${!wcmmode.edit}"></div>
</section>
</script>
It works fine in non-edit mode , but in edit mode, I can not author data-sly-resource part. It looks like <script> tag is not letting it work roperly because when I remove <script> tag ,than I can author it.
And removing script tag is not an option as well.
So how can I stop script tag form breaking sightly functionality in edit mode?
I ended up doing repetition of code , one for author mode and other for non edit mode.
Below is close resemblance of my solution.
<section data-sly-resource="${ #path='textOverImage', resourceType='example/components/textOverImage'}" id="textOverImage" data-sly-test="${wcmmode.edit}" >
<div ng-include="'private/textOverImage.html'"></div>
</section>
<script type="text/ng-template" id="example.html" data-sly-test="${!wcmmode.edit}">
<section data-sly-resource="${ #path='textOverImage', resourceType='example/components/textOverImage'}" id="textOverImage" >
<div ng-include="'private/textOverImage.html'"></div>
</section>
</script>
As you can see in above code, what to show and when works via data-sly-test="${wcmmode.edit}".
I also tried to to create sightly template for redundant code and than try data-sly-use but now, it works in author mode but sightly can't put template inside <script> tag even though I used # context='unsafe'
There is a workaround based on the Sightly Reference
Put the markup inside a separate html file say mymarkup.html parallel to mycomponent.html
In Component HTML file (e.g mycomponent.html) use <script type="text/ng-template" data-sly-include="mymarkup.html"></script>
In mymarkup.html we can use Sightly tags normally and those would be evaluated/executed normally, we would not even need to specify the # context for variables we would read using use API. The final markup rendered by component mycomponent.html when dragged to page would render something like this below
<script type="text/ng-template">
//mymarkup.html evaluated content here
</script>
In your script tag you could add data-sly-unwrap="${wcmmode.edit}"
This will remove script tag in edit mode allowing you to edit included components but in any other mode the script tag gets rendered.
I found the following mention in Netcentric's AEM Sightly Style Guide:
Then, because the HTML grammar ignores elements located inside a
< script > or < style > elements, no block statement can be used within
them.
Although it's not explicitly stated in the Sightly spec, it makes sense. So your fix is right.

Hide Angular brackets until javascript loaded

I have a few bits of HTML like
<p class="noresults">{{numberOfContacts}} Results Are Available</p>
Is it possible for me to hide {{numberOfContacts}} until Angular has loaded? So it would just say Results Are Available
I've seem some solutions such as hiding the entire body until Angular has loaded, but I'd rather not do that if possible.
Yes, use ng-cloak. Simply add class="ng-cloak" or ng-cloak to an element like this
Using directive <div ng-cloak></div>
Using class <div class="ng-cloak"></div>
It's simply a set of CSS rules with display: none !important and as Angular has rendered your DOM it removes the ng-cloak so an element is visible.
use <span ng-bind="numberOfContacts" /> instead of {{numberOfContacts}}
Sometimes, even if I used the ng-cloak, I could still see the braces for a few seconds. Adding the following style resolved my issue:
[ng-cloak]
{
display: none !important;
}
Please see this link link for more explanation.
Hope it helps :D
This is typically only an issue when working with complex content on really slow devices. In those instances, there can be a brief moment when the browser displays the HTML in the document while AngularJS is parsing the HTML, getting ready, and processing the directives. In this interval of time, any inline template expressions you have defined will be visible to the user. Most devices nowadays have pretty good browsers which are quick enough to prevent this from being an issue. There are two ways to solve the problem.
Avoid using inline template expressions and stick with ng-bind directive.
(Best) Use the ng-cloak directive which will hide the content until Angular has finished processing it. Basically, the ng-cloak directive uses CSS to hide the elements and angular removes the CSS class when the content has been processed, ensuring that the user never sees the {{ and }} characters of a template expression.
One strategy to consider is using the ng-cloak directly to the body element, which will ensure that the user will see an empty browser while AngularJS loads. However, you can be more specific by applying it to parts of the document where there are inline expressions.
I have seen issues with ng-cloak not working when added to an element. In the past, I have worked around this issue by simply adding ng-cloak class to element.
You can use ng-bind instead of expression like
<span ng-bind="data"></span>

Difference between header-bar and class=bar-header

There are two ways in which one can make headers using Ionic framework.
<div class="bar bar-header bar-dark">
<h1 class="title">Title</h1>
</div>
And
<header-bar title="'Title'" type="bar-dark">
</header-bar>
Links in Documentation :
For first : http://ionicframework.com/docs/components/
For second : http://ionicframework.com/docs/angularjs/views/header/
What is the difference between them?
The first is native HTML elements using the predefined CSS class names.
The second is using an AngularJS directive. Basically it is a custom element that at runtime will be replaced by a template. See here for the actual AngularJS directive definition. You can see the template that replaces the original element.
Directives like this will play an interesting part of the future of the web. There is a standard on its way in Web Components that will standardize these kind of markup constructs. Besides directives in AngularJS there is another popular way of doing this style of components using Polymer.

How to select an element by classname using jqLite?

I'm trying to remove jquery from my Angular.js app in order to make it lighter, and put Angular's jqLite instead. But the app makes heavy use of find('#id') and find ('.classname'), which are not supported by jqLite, only 'tag names' (as per documentation)
wondered what do u feel would be the best approach to change it. One approach I thought about is to create custom HTML tags. for example:
change
<span class="btn btn-large" id="add-to-bag">Add to bag</span>
to
<a2b style="display:none;"><span class="btn btn-large" >Add to bag</span></a2b>
and
$element.find('#add-to-bag')
to
$element.find('a2b')
Any thoughts? other ideas?
thanks
Lior
Essentially, and as-noted by #kevin-b:
// find('#id')
angular.element(document.querySelector('#id'))
//find('.classname'), assumes you already have the starting elem to search from
angular.element(elem.querySelector('.classname'))
Note: If you're looking to do this from your controllers you may want to have a look at the "Using Controllers Correctly" section in the developers guide and refactor your presentation logic into appropriate directives (such as <a2b ...>).
angualr uses the lighter version of jquery called as jqlite which means it doesnt have all the features of jQuery. here is a reference in angularjs docs about what you can use from jquery.
Angular Element docs
In your case you need to find a div with ID or class name.
for class name you can use
var elems =$element.find('div') //returns all the div's in the $elements
angular.forEach(elems,function(v,k)){
if(angular.element(v).hasClass('class-name')){
console.log(angular.element(v));
}}
or you can use much simpler way by query selector
angular.element(document.querySelector('#id'))
angular.element(elem.querySelector('.classname'))
it is not as flexible as jQuery but what
If elem.find() is not working for you, check that you are including JQuery script before angular script....
