Applying Angular Bootstrap Drop Down Example - angularjs

Question

I want to bring drop downs into my project and I took the code from the example. The drop down appears as in the example but when I click it nothing happens.
<form class="form" name="form" novalidate>
<div class="btn-group" dropdown is-open="status.isopen">
<button type="button"
class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle"
dropdown-toggle
ng-disabled="disabled">
Button dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
<li>Action</li>
<li>Another action</li>
<li>Something else here</li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li>Separated link</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
</form>
Now the controller for this html:
angular.module('startupApp').controller('DropdownCtrl', function ($scope, $log) {
$scope.items = [
'The first choice!',
'And another choice for you.',
'but wait! A third!'
];
$scope.status = {
isopen: false
};
$scope.toggled = function(open) {
$log.log('Dropdown is now: ', open);
};
$scope.toggleDropdown = function($event) {
$event.preventDefault();
$event.stopPropagation();
$scope.status.isopen = !$scope.status.isopen;
};
});

I had the same problem and I solved by deleting the line dropdown-toggle
I don't know what the problem is but it works well in this way
Here what I did:
This si the original example:
<!-- Single button -->
<div class="btn-group" dropdown is-open="status.isopen">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" dropdown-toggle ng-disabled="disabled">
Button dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
<li>Action</li>
<li>Another action</li>
<li>Something else here</li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li>Separated link</li>
</ul>
</div>
and this is the code without dropdown-toggle
<!-- Single button -->
<div class="btn-group" dropdown is-open="status.isopen">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" ng-disabled="disabled">
Button dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
<li>Action</li>
<li>Another action</li>
<li>Something else here</li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li>Separated link</li>
</ul>
</div>
Edit:
The above example works if you are using angular-ui-bootstrap Version: 0.10.0
Now I've changed the ui-bootstrap using this
<script src="//angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/ui-bootstrap-tpls-0.12.0.js"></script>
And now all work like a charm

There are a few problems in your code:
Your HTML is not valid, the last <div> tag shouldn't be there
<form class="form" name="form" novalidate>
<div class="btn-group" dropdown is-open="status.isopen">
<button type="button"
class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle"
dropdown-toggle
ng-disabled="disabled">
Button dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
<li>
Action
</li>
<li>
Another action
</li>
<li>
Something else here
</li>
<li class="divider"></li>
<li>
Separated link
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</form>
You did not reference ui.bootstrap as a module dependency
angular.module('startupApp', [
'ui.bootstrap'
])
Did you include the right files ?
AngularJS
Angular UI Bootstrap
Bootstrap CSS
You don't need anything special in your controller, the dropdown and dropdown-toggle directives are self-sufficient.

After much struggle I just found the answer that worked for my case. I only needed to add parse-angular to my angular.module('myapp'['parse-angular']).

Answer 4

First I want to say thank you to Jorge Casariego for his answer. His answer helped me to get much further.
There was one problem at the end though, that neither $scope.toggled = function(open) {...} nor $scope.toggleDropdown = function($event) {...} where called when someone interacted with the Dropdown (see example of them here). After looking into the ui-bootstrap-tpls-0.10.0.js code I had to further adjust the html-code:
the attribute dropdown should be a class-value not a attribute itself.
is-open=... is not needed, ui-bootstrap will take care of it
attach a ng-click to the <a> element in the list.
This did not work for me (dropdown as an attribute):
<!-- Single button -->
<div class="btn-group" dropdown is-open="status.isopen">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle"
ng-disabled="disabled">
Choose category <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
<li ng-repeat="category in interactions">
<a ng-click="toggleDropdown($event)" data-category="{{category.name}}">
{{category.displayName}}
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
But this did (add dropdown as a class value):
<!-- Single button -->
<div class="btn-group dropdown">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle"
ng-disabled="disabled">
Choose category <span class="caret"></span>
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
<li ng-repeat="category in interactions">
<a ng-click="toggleDropdown($event)" data-category="{{category.name}}">
{{category.displayName}}
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
The rest of my Angular App looks like this then:
$scope.toggleDropdown = function($event) {
$event.preventDefault();
console.log('This is your event now: ', $event);
};
I know there are newer versions available of angular-ui-bootstrap, but for the record I put it up here. It works with version 0.10.0.
