I'm attempting to learn AngularJS (background in BackboneJS). I have a div with some content inside, and I hope to render this div as a modal upon clicking inside of it:
<div class="stickynote"> Content here </div>
My thinking is to add a modal class that I can style in CSS. However, I'm not too sure how to add the modal class upon clicking (and conversely, removing the modal class upon clicking after the modal is rendered). Would I have to use ng-click and somehow set the class property from the JavaScript (myApp.js) file?
If you want to use your own modal styling and if you simply want to achieve adding an extra item to class attribute of your element, you can use a combination of ng-class and ng-click:
<div class="stickynote"
ng-class="{yourModalCSSClass: isModalOpen}"
ng-click="isModalOpen = true">
And somewhere else, you need another ng-click to turn it off:
<button ng-click="isModalOpen = false">Close modal</button>
Beware that both div and button must be in the same scope hierarchy to be able to use the same isModalOpen value. And by the way, I haven't tried this code but this should give you an idea. If you have a controller/directive, you can set isModalOpen from there by introducing functions in the scope:
// controller
$scope.toggleModal = function () {
$scope.isModalOpen = !$scope.isModalOpen;
}
<div ...
ng-click="toggleModal()">
<button ng-click="toggleModal()">...
If you're open to using a third-party solution, ng-dialog is an outstanding solution for modals+Angular.

I'm creating a reusable item picker component using Angular 1.5. The picker has a search field and a list of items to choose from. An example use case for the picker is a popup where the user selects some items and then has a "Continue" button to proceed.
Conceptually, the search field and the list of items belong to the component and the "Continue" button belongs to the surrounding dialog. However, I want to position the button next to the search field. In some cases there are no extra buttons, sometimes one extra button, sometimes two.
Something like this:
What is the best way to create such a component?
Options I've thought of:
Create a component / directive for the item picker, put the button before or after the directive in the HTML, and use CSS to position the button.
Here the positioning of the button is ugly and fragile, as it's not in the proper position within the HTML. It would probably need a wrapper div and absolute positioning on top of the picker component:
<div style="position: relative">
<item-picker></item-picker>
<button name="Continue" ng-click="submit()" style="position:absolute; top:5px; right: 5px"></button>
</div>
Somehow pass the buttons and callbacks as parameters to the item picker component. Here the ugliness is in the hard-coding of the buttons and styles and amount of buttons:
<item-picker btn1-text="Continue" btn1-style="primary" btn1-callback="submit()" btn2-text="Cancel" btn2-style="secondary" btn2-callback="cancel()"></item-picker>
I'm unsure whether the button configuration and callbacks could be passed as a single configuration object. I'm mainly concerned about the callback functions, whether they will work properly if passed through a configuration object instead of proper '&' callback binding.
Stop trying to make the picker into a component / directive and just use <ng-include> to include the picker code which reads the button configuration from the scope. Ugliness is in lack of scoping and not using components.
Is there some best practise for such cases?
One possible solution is to use ng-transclude, so your code could look something like:
Markup
<item-picker>
<button ng-click="parentScopeFn()">Btn 1</button>
...
</item-picker>
Directive
angular.module('myApp', [])
.directive('itemPicker', function() {
return {
restrict: 'E',
transclude: true,
scope: {
...
},
templateUrl: 'item-picker.html'
};
});
itemPicker template markup
<div class="item-picker">
<div class="item-picker-controls">
<div class="item-picker-search"><input type="search" ng-model="..."></div>
<div class="btn-group" ng-transclude></div>
</div>
<ul class="item-picker-list">
<li ng-repeat="item in items" ng-bind="item"></li>
</ul>
</div><!-- end item-picker template -->
Of course the above code is just an example and is making a lot of assumptions about your itemPicker component. Also, you'll still need to use CSS to position your buttons, but it might be easier to reason with b/c it'll be in the context of your component.
Note
You could also make use of "multi slot transclusion". This is probably useful in cases where the number and type of buttons you'll have is predictable and you want them arranged in a consistent way no matter how they are placed in the markup.
Hope this helps.
On ngDialog (https://github.com/likeastore/ngDialog), is there a built in way to close a dialog from within the template it self? I.e. so I don't need any functions in the controller calling the dialog?
This is my template (errorPopup.html):
<div>
<div class="alert alert-warning">
<div class="errorLogo"><i class="icon-exclaim"></i></div>
<div class="errorContent" data-ng-bind-html="errorMessage"></div>
</div>
<div class="buttonWrapper">
<button type="button" class="btn-primary pull-right">
<span res="close"></span>
</button>
</div>
</div>
And this is how I open the dialog:
function showErrorPopup() {
ngDialog.open({
template: 'errorPopup.html',
scope: $scope,
className: 'ngdialog-theme-default ngdialog-cart-theme',
showClose: true,
appendTo: 'div[ui-view]',
closeByDocument: false
});
}
So when I call showErrorPopup() I get a dialog displayed, however, I need to make this "close" button to actually dismiss/close the popup. As of now, this is just a plan button that doesn't do anything.
Is there something I can do a the template level (without changing my controller's code) to make the button work?
Maybe I should be using a default button instead of my own? If so, how?
PS: I notice thats clicking on the X button on the top right works, the popup is dismissed.
Thanks all!
You don`t have to inject ngDialog module in your $scope. You can call closeThisDialog() function in your popup template directly:
<button ng-click="closeThisDialog(0)">Close</button>
function argument is the value to resolve popup with.
If you want to call the close function of the ngDialog directly from the view, you must inject the module itself to the scope inside the controller, in order for it to become available from the view:
$scope.ngDialog = ngDialog;
Then, you can use it directly from within the view:
<button ng-click="ngDialog.close()">Close</button>
It is hard to say what exactly you are doing wrong, until you paste some controller and app.js and HTML code contents.
Yes, ngDialog has built-in way of closing the dialog
Make Sure you set the className to 'ngdialog-theme-flat ngdialog-theme-custom' or other css class as described in the docs inside open function.
You have added handler with name "closeThisDialog" , but function has another name "closePopup".
Maybe it is your issue.
just follow these steps
1.when creating app
var app = angular.module('sampleApp', ['ngDialog']);
2.use button like this
<button ng-click="clickMe()">Click to Open</button>
3.put this in your controller
`$scope.clickMe = function () {
ngDialog.open();
};`
by default it has code to close,It'll close automatically when you click on close.
Hope it'll be useful
I just need to make a div fullscreen whenever a user clicks on that div. I know this can be done via javascript and jquery. But i want to know if there is any pure angular js method of doing it. Any suggestions in this regard would be appreciated
You can use a fullscreen directive like this ones:
https://github.com/hrajchert/angular-screenfull
https://github.com/fabiobiondi/angular-fullscreen
One way is to use ngClass to apply a fullscreen class based on a boolean scope property. And use ngClick to toggle the scope property when clicked...
<div ng-click="isFullScreen = !isFullScreen"
ng-class="{fullscreen: isFullScreen}">click me</div>
Fiddle
Making a div fullscreen is(should be) about css, so you can change your div's css class via angular like:
html
<div ng-class="{fullScreenDiv: isFullScreen}">...</div>
<div ng-click="makeFullScreen()"></div>
js
$scope.isFullScreen = false;
$scope.makeFullScreen = function(){
$scope.isFullScreen = true;
};
fullScreenDiv is css class and isFullScreen is a variable in your controller scope. Change isFullScreen variable to enable/disable full screen.
Meaining of ng-class="{fullScreenDiv: isFullScreen}" is if isFullScreen expression evaluates to true then apply fullScreenDiv css class to element.
I've built a directive <playlist> which calls my custom service to return and then display a list of videos. So far so good. However, I don't want this directive to render and call my API until the user clicks on a link elsewhere on the page.
How can I have a link outside of the directive trigger the rendering of the <playlist> item? I looked for some sort of onShow event to no avail.
You can use the ng-if directive to keep your directive out of the DOM until the link is clicked. So your HTML would looks something like this:
<div ng-if="showPlaylist">
<playlist />
</div>
Then you would just set showPlaylist to true when you want it to show/render.
I was able to figure this out based on dnc253's feedback.
Toggle Playlist
<div ng-if="showPlaylist != undefined">
<playlist ng-show="showPlaylist"></playlist>
</div>
On initial page load <playlist> is hidden and not rendered. Clicking the link renders <playlist>. Subsequent clicks toggle the ng-show attribute and so the scope is not reset.
I am somewhat new to using Angular and AngularStrap directives. I need to use the tab directive with static markup like the example:
<div data-fade="1" bs-tabs>
<div data-title="'Home'"><p>Static tab content A</p></div>
<div data-title="'Profile'"><p>Static tab content B</p></div>
</div>
On another part of the page I would like to display a div only when the first tab is selected. The div is not part of the tabs, but is in the same overall controller. How can I show/hide this div based on the selected tab?
Something like this?
<div ng-show="???? active tab stuff here ????">Home tab is selected</div>
Thanks for any help.
As shown in the example on the AngularStrap page the active tap is stored in
tabs.activeTab
So you can use this property to conditionally show display something else like so
<div ng-show="tabs.activeTab == 0">The first tab is active</div>
UPDATE
Even with non object tabs you can just bind a model against the bs-tabs to store the active ID like so:
<div data-fade="1" ng-model="tabs.activeTab" bs-tabs>
Here is an updated plnkr. (Click on the 3rd tab and see the 'Test' text appear)
I found somewhat of a hack to resolve this issue for now. This does not seem like the best approach, so if someone has a better idea, please share.
I realized that the bsTabs directive is creating data-toggle attributes for each tab. By watching the data-toggle shown event, I am able to recognize the tab change and display the div. The controller code looks like this:
$scope.HomeTabSelected = true;
function watchTab() {
$('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('shown', function (e) {
$scope.$apply($scope.HomeTabSelected = (e.target.innerHTML == "Home"));
})
}
setTimeout(watchTab, 2000); // setTimeout necessary to allow directive to render
and the HTML div uses ng-show.
<div ng-show="HomeTabSelected">Home tab is selected</div>
