Angularjs Style/highlight code block within ng-bind-html - angularjs

In an effort to learn Angualr.js, I'm trying to collect a Wordpress post, using the plugin WP REST API and display it on a template in its correct format. I've got the post displaying the correct way using sanitize and ng-bind-html.
However, there are code blocks that I had originally highlighted (using WP Code Prettify) within the post. For example:
The question is how do I get the original post to look just like the image above, using ng-bind-html? Or is there another, more efficient way to do this?

You should try using $sce to mark the post content as trusted.
Example:
.controller('CtrlName', function($scope, $http, $sce) {
$http.get('wp-json/pages/pageSlug').success(function(res){
$scope.page = res;
$scope.page.content = $sce.trustAsHtml(res.content);
});
})

Which method is good to use for laravel 5 and angularjs tag conflict?

I had print value issue in laravel view, i was trying to print $scope value inside laravel blade. I searched about and find two kind of solution.
1- Change angularjs print tag
By this method i can change angularjs print tag.
var app = angular.module('app', []);
app.config(function($interpolateProvider) {
$interpolateProvider.startSymbol('<%');
$interpolateProvider.endSymbol('%>');
});
app.controller('app', function ($scope, $http) {
$scope.text_print = 'this is text';
});
Now in blade i can print like <% text_print %>
2- Add # for printing angularjs $scope value
I found an up-voted answer in which #Paul A.T. Wilson says that
The easiest way to do this is to simply use # in front of your Angular code
Example #{{text_print}}
Both are working for me, actually i want to make a plugin, so which method should i use? because i'm not sure the second one is compatible with laravel old version. I want my plugin compatible with all version of laravel.
Can anyone guide me about this, i would like to appreciate. Thank You
Changing either interpolation strings for Blade or angular is the best option if you want your plugin to work with older versions of Laravel.
For angularJs you already know how to do it from here.
For Blade, inside your Laravel app's AppServiceProvider.php file add the following code in the boot function:
public function boot() {
Blade::setRawTags("[[", "]]");
// for variables and Blade
Blade::setContentTags('<%', '%>');
// for escaped data
Blade::setEscapedContentTags('<%%', '%%>');
}
Note: In my opinion it's easier to change the interpolation tags for angular as changing the interpolation tags for blade requires you to clear out the storage/framework/views folder.
Apparently there's another way to do this, but I'm not sure if it will work in older versions:
#verbatim
<div>
{{ variableOne }}
{{ variableTwo }}
</div>
#endverbatim
The verbatim annotation indicates that the section is as-is, ie: Blade will leave it out.

using data from a callback from Ebay api in Angularjs

I am trying to use the ebay api in an angular.js app.
The way the api works by itself is to pass data to a callback function and within that function create a template for display.
The problem that I am having is in adding the data returned from the callback to the $scope. I was not able to post a working example as I didnt want to expose my api key, I am hoping that the code posted in the fiddle will be enough to identify the issue.
eBayApp.controller('FindItemCtrl', function ($scope) {
globalFunc = function(root){
$scope.items = root.findItemsByKeywordsResponse[0].searchResult[0].item || [];
console.log($scope.items); //this shows the data
}
console.log($scope.items); //this is undefined
})
http://jsfiddle.net/L7fnozuo/
The reason the second instance of $scope.items is undefined, is because it is run before the callback function happens.
The chances are that $scope.items isn't updating in the view either, because Angular doesn't know that it needs to trigger a scope digest.
When you use the Angular provided async APIs ($http, $timeout etc) they have all been written in such a way that they will let Angular know when it needs to update it's views.
In this case, you have a couple of options:
Use the inbuilt $http.jsonp method.
Trigger the digest manually.
Option number 1 is the more sensible approach, but is not always possible if the request is made from someone else's library.
Here's an update to the fiddle which uses $http.jsonp. It should work (but at the moment it's resulting in an error message about your API key).
The key change here is that the request is being made from within Angular using an Angular API rather than from a script tag which Angular knows nothing about.
$http.jsonp(URL)
.success($scope.success)
.error($scope.error);
Option 2 requires you to add the following line to your JSONP callback function:
globalFunc = function(root){
$scope.items = root.findItemsByKeywordsResponse[0].searchResult[0].item || [];
console.log($scope.items); //this shows the data
$scope.$apply(); // <--
}
This method tells Angular that it needs to update it's views because data might have changed. There's a decent Sitepoint article on understanding this mechanism, if you are interested.

Fetching HTML in Angular

I am getting started with Angular, and I want to get HTML template from a file using JavaScript, I don't want to use ng-include or any other directive as I don't really have an html to play with, I have only JavaScript file with data rendered from REST service and I need to send HTML output to the page I am in, so I don't really have any existing elements in the DOM.
So how do I get HTML from another file and use it just from JavaScript, in an Angular way?
I think you should use directive and as James point out use the $compile.
You can look some doc https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/compiler
If for any reason you don't want to do that, I can put an exemple of a really BAD angular code I use on my app to show the CGU (an HTML from another domain).
Note that we use jQuery, and that's not a good thing in Angular world.
$http({
method: 'GET',
url: 'URL_HTML'
}).success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
var html_from_server = $.parseHTML(data);
data = $(html_from_server.find('#container'));//look for the content of an ID.
$('#content_cgu').html(data.html());// get an element on our page and replace the html content
});
Take a look at $compile - it sounds like that's what you're looking for. You can take the html from your service and compile it to work in your AngularJS application.
Let me rephrase it. How do I get HTML from another page and store it in a variable inside my JS file using Angular? What do I do? var returnedHTML = ???
Straightforward solution:
var returnedHTML;
var url = 'http://www.google.com';
$http.get(url, { cache: $templateCache }).then(function(result){
returnedHTML = result.data;
});
I was just dealing with this today. I think your question was misunderstood.
You simply include an ng-include into your code like so:
ng-include="'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random'"
Angular will display your URL as directly in the page.

Linking to external URL with different domain from within an angularJS partial

All I am trying to do is include an anchor tag inside the html of a partial that links to an external site. Were this standard html, the code would simply be:
google
As simple as this is, I cannot seem to find a working solution for getting past angular intercepting the route (or perhaps replacing my anchor with the https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/a directive unintentionally?).
I have scoured SO and the rest of the web and seen a myriad of solutions for dealing with: links within the same domain, routing within the SPA, routing within a page (ala $anchorScroll) but none of these are my issue exactly.
I suspect it may having something to do with using $sce but I am an Angular n00b and not really sure how to properly use that service. I tried the following in my view controller:
$scope.trustUrl = function(url) {
return $sce.trustAsResourceUrl(url);
}
with the corresponding:
<a ng-href="{{ trustUrl(item) }}">Click me!</a>
(as described here: Binding external URL in angularjs template)
but that did not seem to do the trick (I ended up with just href="{{" in the rendered page).
Using a plain vanilla anchor link like this:
google
also failed to do the trick (even though some online advised that standard href would cause a complete page reload in angular: AngularJS - How can I do a redirect with a full page load?).
I also tried adding the target=_self" attribute but that seemed to have no effect either.
Do I need to write a custom directive as described here?
Conditionally add target="_blank" to links with Angular JS
This all seems way too complicated for such a simple action and I feel like I am missing something obvious in my n00bishness, at least I hope so because this process is feeling very onerous just to link to another url.
Thanks in advance for any solutions, advice, refs or direction.
It turns out that I did in fact have all anchor links in the page bound to an event listener and being overridden. Since that code was fundamental to the way the page worked I did not want to mess with it. Instead I bypassed it by using ng-click to call the new url as follows:
HTML:
<a class="navLinkHcp" href="{{hcpurl}}" title="Habitat Conservation Plan" target="_blank" ng-click="linkModelFunc(hcpurl)">Habitat Conservation Plan</a>
Controller:
$scope.hcpurl = 'http://eahcp.org/index.php/about_eahcp/covered_species';
$scope.linkModelFunc = function (url){
console.log('link model function');
$window.open(url);
}
And voila! Good to go.
Thanks again to KevinB for cluing me in that this was probably the issue.

Preload AngularJS partials used in routes?

Question: What is the best way and the best time to pre-load .ng files that are used in routing templates?
In researching this thus far, I've found the following answers:
Use Angular's script directive.
Problem: My content cannot be loaded as a literal string but needs to be fetched from the server. In other words, I have an .ng file as my partial so I cannot do
my content must remain in a .ng file on the server and be fetched
Use $templateCache.put to put a template literal in the cache. Same problem as above.
Use $http to load the .ng file. This works in that it is not a string literal but I am struggling to find the best time to perform this so that it is not blocking (realize its async but still)
To save you from suggesting resources I've already seen, I've read the following:
Is there a way to make AngularJS load partials in the beginning and not at when needed?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/angular/6aW6gWlsCjU
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/angular/okG3LFcLkd0
https://medium.com/p/f8ae57e2cec3
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.javascript.angularjs/15975
Maybe use a combination of 2 and 3.
Like you said, $http is async, so why not just put each partial into the templateCache after the app has loaded.
For example:
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.run(function($http, $templateCache) {
var templates = ['template1.ng', 'template2.ng'];
angular.forEach(templates, function(templateUrl) {
$http({method: 'GET', url: templateUrl}).success(function(data) {
$templateCache.put(templateUrl, data);
});
});
});
I've never had the need for this and definitely haven't tested it, but the idea is there.
