Angular How Can I only trigger child element event - angularjs

Question

<div ng-click="process1()" id="1">
<div ng-click="process2()" id="2">
</div>
</div>
When I click the div which id is two, it will both trigger process1 and process2,How can I just trigger process2?

Answer 1

You can use directive for this. It will be more generalise to stop event propagation.
HTML
<div ng-click="process1()" id="1">
<div ng-click="process2()" id="2" stop-event>
</div>
In controller:
$scope.process1 = function(){
alert(1);
}
$scope.process2 = function(){
alert(2);
}
and just use a directive
.directive('stopEvent', function () {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function (scope, element, attr) {
element.bind('click', function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
}
}

If you wanted, you could make this solution more generic like this answer to a different question: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14547223/347216

I think you should pass the $event from the html in the ng-click of id 2 element and then call the stopPropagation method of that event in the controller.
HTML -
<div ng-click="process1()" id="1">
<div ng-click="process2($event)" id="2">
</div>
</div>
and in the controller -:
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.process1 = function(){
alert(1);
}
$scope.process2 = function(event){
event.stopPropagation();
alert(2);
}
});

One solution is to use $event.stopPropagation. Also you should avoid to name elements id with numbers.
<div ng-click="process1();$event.stopPropagation();" id="div1">
event.stopPropagation:
Description: Prevents the event from bubbling up the DOM tree,
preventing any parent handlers from being notified of the event.
