Answer 1

To show or hide div in html use ng-show:

Answer 2

In below code I have showed ng-show and ng-hide using both examples using HTML to handle and controller to handle.
In first ng-hide hide the dhaarani name. In controller used to show the dhaarani name using
$scope.hai = false;
inside timeout function
$timeout(countUp, 2000);
Try below code.
var showApp = angular.module('showApp', [])
.controller('mainController', function($scope,$timeout) {
// set the default value of our number
$scope.myNumber = 0;
// function to evaluate if a number is even
$scope.isEven = function(value) {
if (value % 2 == 0)
return true;
else
return false;
};
$scope.timeInMs = 0;
$scope.hai = true;
$scope.welcome = true;
var countUp = function() {
$scope.hai = false;
alert("sgf");
}
$timeout(countUp, 2000);
});
