I used to work with backbone and handlebars and was able to do things like
{{ if condition }}
<div class="container">
{{ endif }}
more html
{{ if condition }}
</div>
{{ endif}}
I know I can use ng-if but I want to display conditionally an element opening and closing not the whole element.
You can write a directive and accomplish exactly what you want, but I think a better way to do things is to create a div(without conditions - since every open div element has to have a closing element) and to add dynamic content inside using ng-if:
<div>
<div ng-if="cond1"></div>
<div ng-if="cond2"></div>
<!-- ETC...... -->
</div>
The simplest and best way to do this by using "ng-if" attribute for any HTML element that you want to render on the basis of some condition that you can manupulate in your controller as per your need.
For example:
<div ng-if = "expression">
</div>
This expression should be evaluate to be boolean i.e. either true or false, here you can specify multiple condition also which should be evaluate to true or false.
For multiple condition example check out this fiddle:

Check out this example in example section of "ngif doc":

I am trying to show a div if the condition written inside matches. Though in some of the case it do matches but still the ng-show div is not getting shown may be ng-show condition do not return true. I am trying to compare each of the list values with the variable groupAdmin which is set in the scope in the controller.
<div class="list__item__right">
<div ng-show='{{groupParticipants|
domainFilter}}==="{{groupAdmin|
domainFilter}}"'>
<span>Admin</span>
</div>
you cant use like this
Try this
<div ng-show=(groupParticipants|
domainFilter)===(groupAdmin|
domainFilter)>
Actually I'm confused between when to use {{ }} when using angular directives and when to not to use {{ }}
For example:
<div data-ng-init="isHidden=false">
<div data-ng-show="isHidden">
...
</div>
</div>
and
<div data-ng-init="isHidden=false">
<div data-ng-show="{{isHidden}}">
...
</div>
</div>
I'm confused between these syntax ? What are the differences between those? And when to use what? Thanks in advance :)
There is no difference except the "look" u need to use the {{value}} syntax in case you want to write data anywhere in your html body
<div>{{value}}</div>
It's all explained here: Difference between double and single curly brace in angular JS?
For quick answer:
{{}} are Angular expressions and come quite handy when you wish to
write stuff to HTML
Don't use these at a place that is already an expression!
For instance, the directive ngClick treats anything written in between
the quotes as an expression
<div data-ng-init="isHidden=false">
<div data-ng-show="isHidden">
...
</div>
</div>
In This Situation data-ng-show = false , Takes From data-ng-init As Statically,if You Have Given true Then It Returns True .
But Here
<div data-ng-init="isHidden=false">
<div data-ng-show="{{isHidden}}">
...
</div>
{{}} Called As Expressions In Angular One Of The Most Important Concept
It Directly Evaluate If isHidden = true Or False Based On Any Condition Written In Your App.js File .
Example:
<div data-ng-init="isHidden=YourVariable">
<div data-ng-show="{{isHidden}}">
...
</div>
if(YourVariable == true){
Do Somthing
}
else{
Do Something
}
If you are asking when to use {{}} while assigning value to a attribute and when not.
It depends on the binding types of directive. '#' or '='
So here, you have to use:
data-ng-show="{{isHidden}}" if the binding type of directive scope data-ng-show is '#', that mean the data-ng-show will be expecting a string value. So in this case if you keep data-ng-show="isHidden" it will take data-ng-show's value as 'isHidden', but data-ng-show="{{isHidden}}" will take the value of the $scope.isHidden and assign to data-ng-show.
Now if the binding type of directive scope data-ng-show is '=', that means the data-ng-show will be expecting a value from a scope. So data-ng-show="isHidden" itself will take the value of he $scope.isHidden and assign to data-ng-show.
Note: all the default HTML attributes expect a string so you have to use {{}} for default HTML attributes.
There is no as such major difference unless one uses them in the DOM for the value.
When one uses the following:
<div data-ng-show="isHidden">
then, expression is evaluated and on the basis of it respective value, the ng-show either hides or displays the div. But the value of the isHidden cannot be seen, when one inspects the HTML using the browser developer tool.
When one uses the following:
<div data-ng-show="{{isHidden}}">
In this case, the value of the isHidden can be seen from the developer tools, and the rest of the expression does evaluates the same as that of (1).
I am in an ng-repeat. How do I conditionally add some html in the loop. So far, I have the following code:
<div ng-show="showCondition">
<div>
...
<input name="bla[{{obj.value}}].Id type="Text" />
</div>
</div>
That certainly hides the html. But I still end up with inputs sending stuff to the server for iterations where I don't want the input to even exist.
I can't use ng-include, because the html is in the same file, in the loop.
How can I just say, "if true, render the following html during this iteration of the loop"?
Thanks
The ng-if directive removes the content from the page and ng-show/ng-hide uses the CSS display property to hide content.
So in your case as you are using the ng-show its just hiding the element not removing it from DOM. Just replace ng-show/hide with ng-if
I have a conditional print requirement in Angular and Bootstrap environment. The requirement is to print a div when the condition exists.
On the HTML code:
<div class="print" ng-show="objects[0].exists">
///My print Part
</div>
On the LESS code:
>.print{
.visible-print-block;
}
What's happening in my case is .visible-print-block is overriding the Angular condition and printing the div irrespectively of the condition.
You want to use the ng-class directive
So your coude would look like:
<div ng-class= '{"print": objects[0].exists}'>
///My print Part
</div>
Using this solution the class 'print' will only be applied if the result of objects[0].exists is true.
I'm developing a mobile application using Ionic Framework based an AngularJS.
On one directive I'm looping over a JSON Array with ng-repeat applying a condition with ng-if, see below:
<ion-content class="has-header has-subheader" >
<ion-slide-box">
<ion-slide
ng-if="invocation.title_id == titleid"
ng-repeat="invocation in invocations" >
<h3>{{invocation.id}}</h3>
<div ><h1>{{invocation.invocation_frensh }}</h1></div>
<div ><h1>{{invocation.invocation_ar}}</h1></div>
<div ><h1>{{invocation.invocation_franko}}</h1></div>
<div ><h1>{{invocation.comments_fr}}</h1></div>
<div ><h1>{{invocation.comments_ar}}</h1></div>
</content>
</ion-slide>
</ion-slide-box>
<p>{{invocation.id}}</p>
</ion-content>
The point is that on the last p nothing is shown.
I understand that the $scope is not the same but on the last "p" or any other component outside the ng-repeat I need to have the same data in order to interact with it.
For exemple I want to add a button on a footer that gets the "{{invocation.id}}". If invocation.id equals 3 inside the ng-repeat "h3" I want to have it equals 3 in the "p"
How can i do it ?
Thanks for you help
Edit: In fact I want invocations[index].id in the 'p' outside of the loop, where index equals the displayed slide.
the invocation variable dies when the ng-repeat ends, if you need to use it again, you will need another ng-repeat
Assuming that you want to show only one slide at a time, you could do it without ng-if, and use filter instead.
<ion-slide ng-repeat="invocation in displayedInvocations = (invocations | filter:{title_id: title_id}:true)">
and then at outside:
<p>{{displayedInvocations[0].id}}</p>
Hope this helps.
