toggle extra detail for a record inside an ngRepeat - angularjs

Question

I'm working on a project where the client has supplied a pile of html where I need to plugin the data from our database and have hit a problem that I'm finding difficult to solve....
So first problem is with routing
<div ng-repeat="class in vm.classes">
<div class="class-overview">
<a href="#">
<span class="class-title">{{class.description}}</span>
... more stuff here
</a>
</div>
<div class="class-information collapse">
<div class="full-width">
{{class.longDescription}}
</div>
</div>
</div>
he has supplied some javascript to handle the click on class-overview
$('.class-overview a').on('click',function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
$('.class-overview').on('click',function() {
$('.class-overview.active').removeClass('active').next('.class-information').collapse('hide');
$(this).addClass('active').next('.class-information').collapse('show');//.css('top',offset).collapse('show');
});
and i have a line like this in my state provider
// default route
$urlrouterProvider.otherwise("/")
So the problem is that the ui-router handles the click and sends me back to the home page.
The ideal solution is to leave as much of his markup intact, so can anyone tell me how I stop ui-router handling the click?
or failing that, how I might use ng-click and ng-show to get the same effect, i.e. hiding and showing the class-information div...

Answer 1

If I understand well your question, you want to display the .class-information div when you click on the .class-overview element.
That can be done by using a variable in a ng-show like this:
<div ng-repeat="class in vm.classes">
<div class="class-overview">
<a href="#" ng-click="display = !display">
<span class="class-title">{{class.description}}</span>
... more stuff here
</a>
</div>
<div class="class-information" ng-show="display">
<div class="full-width">
{{class.longDescription}}
</div>
</div>
</div>
The display variable will be falsy when you land on the page, therefore the ng-click will be executed, this variable will be set to true.
I see that you are using a collapse class to hide the content if it is collapsed. Then you could use angular ng-class to put the collapse class when the display variable is false. Your div.class-information would look like this:
<div class="class-information" ng-class="{collapse: !display}">
<div class="full-width">
{{class.longDescription}}
</div>
</div>
