Angular 1.5
In an ng-repeat I create a button that will display a Bootstrap popup with anchor links.
How do I bind the onAction call so that it calls my $scope.onAction() function ? (onAction() is not bound to $scope.onAction().)
<div ng-repeat="item in model.Holdings track by $index" bs-popover>
<button class="popoverBtn"
data-content="<a ng-click='onAction(1)'>Buy</a>...and more"
click me to show popup
</button>
</div>
Here's my directive that turns the Bootstrap popover on:
app.directive('bsPopover', function () {
return function (scope, element, attrs) {
element.find(".popoverBtn").popover({ placement: 'auto', html: 'true' });
????COMPILE GOES HERE???////
};
});
It sounds like you want the onAction method to take an item identifier.
Perhaps something like <a ng-click='onAction(item.id)'>Buy</a> ??
From what I recall, you are in the scope of the controller that stores the data. If you have nested ng-repeats, look into $parent.
If you are looking to pass the index value of an item into your function on a click event, you need only pass it $index instead of an explicit value. For example:
<div ng-repeat="item in model.Holdings track by $index">
<button class="btn btn-primary"
data-content="<a ng-click='onAction($index)'>Buy</a>...and more">
click me to show popup
</button>
</div>
UI-Bootstrap project seems to have simple to use controls for Angular + Bootstrap.
https://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/
This worked
I originally had the default Bootstrap 3.3 toggle buttons in my app. These are the grouping of buttons that mimic the behavior of checkboxes or radio buttons.
I was trying to replace them with the ones here
I paste the code into my html, and at first it looks fine:
<div class="btn-group">
<label class="btn btn-default" ng-model="checkModel.left" btn-checkbox>Left</label>
<label class="btn btn-default" ng-model="checkModel.middle" btn-checkbox>Middle</label>
<label class="btn btn-default" ng-model="checkModel.right" btn-checkbox>Right</label>
</div>
Now I want to hook up the controller. So, I create a file "elements-buttons.controller.js" with the contents of the JS from the angular-ui site:
(function() {
'use strict';
angular.module('pb.ds.elements').controller('ButtonsController',
function($log) {
var _this = this;
_this.singleModel = 1;
_this.radioModel = 'Middle';
_this.checkModel = {
left: false,
middle: true,
right: false
};
});
})();
I put the controller into my router:
.state('elements.buttons', {
url: '/elements/buttons',
templateUrl: 'modules/elements/templates/elements-buttons.html',
controller: 'ButtonsController as buttons'
})
Now, as soon as I link the controller to my index.html, the button group loses all styling:
Which makes no sense to me at all. Inspecting the code in Chrome shows it's if fact lost all its classes for some reason:
<div class="btn-group">
<label class="" ng-model="buttons.checkModel.left" btn-checkbox="">Left</label>
<label class="" ng-model="buttons.checkModel.middle" btn-checkbox="">Middle</label>
<label class="" ng-model="buttons.checkModel.right" btn-checkbox="">Right</label>
</div>
Now, since I have used "controller as" syntax, I did make sure to try adding that to the model ng-model="buttons.checkModel.right" but with or without this same thing. No controller, looks fine. Controller, boom.
EDIT/UPDATE: There are no errors in the console of any kind.
I have created a jsfiddle in order to debug your problem.
Check it here.
And Im finding no problems on it.
Key points you should check:
Be sure you are adding all neccessaries files, such as ui-bootstrap.js
ui-bootstrap.css
jquery, since this are just directives for angular, it will also need jQuery (as the original bootstrap does)
include the dependency on ui-bootstrap on you app definition, pay attention to this line -> angular.module('app', ['ui.bootstrap', 'app.controllers']);
ng-app & ng-controller on the markup. Be sure you are not forgetting this
On the fiddle, Im not using ui-router, but you should check that the controller is indeed loading (you can add a console.log there and check that the controller is loaded).
I thing with this guidelines and the jsfiddle, you should be good to go
I have an ng-click in in a bootstrap popover that doesnt seem to work. when I move it out of the popup into the page it seems to work. Also the ng-model value doesnt seem to update either.
<div id="popover-content" class="hide">
<input type="text" placeholder="Quote ID" ng-model="selectedItems.quote.label">
<button type="button" ng-click="newQuote()">New quote</button>
</div>
Is this because the popover is created in the dom and angular does not know it exists? Any ideas how I can get it to work? Thanks
EDIT:
Here is the newQuote
$scope.newQuote = function() {
$scope.selectedItems.quote = angular.copy(defaultQuote);
$scope.solution.quotes.push($scope.selectedItems.quote);
$scope.selectedItems.quote.label = 'New Quote';
$scope.addMessage('Quote created successfully', 2);
};
EDIT 2
Here is a plunker showing the issue - the alert is not displayed when ng-click="newQuote()" is fired
http://plnkr.co/edit/ANH98vlflPK9c5qA3ohO?p=preview
You should create a Directive to make angular works with Bootstrap Popover. You can take a look in your Developer console when using Bootstrap Popover. It actually does not reuse the DOM that you predefined - ie :
<input type="text" placeholder="Quote ID" ng-model="selectedItems.quote.label">
<button type="button" ng-click="newQuote()">New quote</button>
But add in a new piece of DOM - ie
<div class="popover fade bottom in" role="tooltip" id="popover770410" style="top: 30px; left: 0px; display: block;">
<div class="arrow" style="left: 15.9420289855072%;">
</div><h3 class="popover-title">New quote</h3><div class="popover-content">
<input type="text" placeholder="Quote ID" ng-model="selectedItems.quote.label" class="ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid">
<button type="button" ng-click="newQuote()">New quote</button>
</div>
</div>
Therefore Angular will not understand new piece of DOM because it has not compiled yet - ie : You cannot use ng-click as well as ng-modal. One way to work around this is to create a directive and compile your html content before passing that piece of DOM to Bootstrap Popover.
I have created this fiddle to demonstrate this idea.
As you can see :
I have compile you content and bind it to current scope
$compile(content)(scope);
Before passing that piece of DOM to popover
var options = {
content: compileContent,
html: true,
title: title
};
$(elem).popover(options);
With this way to can let Angular understand new piece of DOM added and do its work correspondingly.
Furthermore, actually there quite some directives that works with Bootstrap Popover that you can take a look at instead of creating new directives
AgularUI Bootstrap
Angular Strap

twitter bootstrap popover doesn't work with angularjs
I have something like this:
http://plnkr.co/edit/CoDdWWQz8jPPM4q1mhC5?p=preview
What I would like to do is closing the popover window after clicking somewhere outside. I know that there were similar questions but I would like to know how to do that in Angular. Problem is, my popover is located inside script tag.
<script type="text/ng-template" id="templateId.html">
This is the content of the template {{name}}
</script>
In bootstrap's documentation they have an example of a 'dismissable' popover.
The trick is to add trigger: 'focus' to your popover options. You then need to change your element to a 'focusable' element (in this example i have used a button)
Here is my fork of your example.
PS. it is worth mentioning that not all elements are natively 'focusable'. You can make sure that an element can become focusable, but adding the attribute tabindex (eg. tabindex="-1").
Looks like I have found an answer to my question. All we need to do is to apply this solution: How to dismiss a Twitter Bootstrap popover by clicking outside? to directive responsible for showing popover. What's more, we need to add data-toggle="popover" to our button.
And, surprisingly, it works very well.
If you want it to work seamlessly on any kind of elements without having to use any external code nor weird things, all you have to do is add this 2 attributes to your markup: tabindex="0" to make the element focusable, and popover-trigger="focus" to make it dismiss the popup once you click off.
Example with <i> tag which is not focusable:
<i popover-html="someModelWhichContainsMarkup" popover-trigger="focus"
tabindex="0" class="fa fa-question-circle"></i>
You can use following code:
<div ng-app="Module">
<div ng-controller="formController">
<button uib-popover-template="dynamicPopover.templateUrl" popover-trigger="focus" popover-placement="left" type="button" class="btn btn-default">Popover With Template</button>
<script type="text/ng-template" id="myPopoverTemplate.html">
<div>
<span>prasad!!</span>
</div>
</script>
</div>
</div>
In Script :
<script type="text/javascript">
var app = angular.module("Module", ['ui.bootstrap']);
app.controller("formController", ['$scope', function ($scope) {
$scope.dynamicPopover = {
templateUrl: 'myPopoverTemplate.html'
};
}]);
</script>
Works for me, add this attribute to the tag which is calling/opening the popup, DON'T MISS THE SINGLE QUOTES AROUND outsideClick
popover-trigger="'outsideClick'"
This opens only one popover and closes upon clicking outside of popover
popover-trigger="outsideClick"
I am trying to use the Bootstrap tooltip in an app of mine. My app is using AngularJS Currently, I have the following:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default"
data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="left"
title="Tooltip on left">
Tooltip on left
</button>
I think I need to use
$("[data-toggle=tooltip]").tooltip();
However, I'm not sure. Even when I add the line above though, my code doesn't work. I'm trying to avoid using UI bootstrap as it has more than I need. However, if I had to include just the tooltip piece, I'd be open to that. Yet, I can't figure out how to do that.
Can someone show me how to get the Bootstrap Tooltip working with AngularJS?
In order to get the tooltips to work in the first place, you have to initialize them in your code. Ignoring AngularJS for a second, this is how you would get the tooltips to work in jQuery:
$(document).ready(function(){
$('[data-toggle=tooltip]').hover(function(){
// on mouseenter
$(this).tooltip('show');
}, function(){
// on mouseleave
$(this).tooltip('hide');
});
});
This will also work in an AngularJS app so long as it's not content rendered by Angular (eg: ng-repeat). In that case, you need to write a directive to handle this. Here's a simple directive that worked for me:
app.directive('tooltip', function(){
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, element, attrs){
element.hover(function(){
// on mouseenter
element.tooltip('show');
}, function(){
// on mouseleave
element.tooltip('hide');
});
}
};
});
Then all you have to do is include the "tooltip" attribute on the element you want the tooltip to appear on:
<a href="#0" title="My Tooltip!" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" tooltip>My Tooltip Link</a>
The best solution I've been able to come up with is to include an "onmouseenter" attribute on your element like this:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default"
data-placement="left"
title="Tooltip on left"
onmouseenter="$(this).tooltip('show')">
</button>
Simple Answer - using UI Bootstrap (ui.bootstrap.tooltip)
There seem to be a bunch of very complex answers to this question. Here's what worked for me.
Install UI Bootstrap - $ bower install angular-bootstrap
Inject UI Bootstrap as a dependency - angular.module('myModule', ['ui.bootstrap']);
Use the uib-tooltip directive in your html.
<button class="btn btn-default"
type="button"
uib-tooltip="I'm a tooltip!">
I'm a button!
</button>
If you're building an Angular app, you can use jQuery, but there is a lot of good reasons to try to avoid it in favor of more angular driven paradigms. You can continue to use the styles provided by bootstrap, but replace the jQuery plugins with native angular by using UI Bootstrap
Include the Boostrap CSS files, Angular.js, and ui.Bootstrap.js:
<link href="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.1.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://code.angularjs.org/1.2.20/angular.js"></script>
<script src="//angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/ui-bootstrap-tpls-0.11.0.js"></script>
Make sure you've injected ui.bootstrap when you create your module like this:
var app = angular.module('plunker', ['ui.bootstrap']);
Then you can use angular directives instead of data attributes picked up by jQuery:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default"
title="Tooltip on left" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="left"
tooltip="Tooltip on left" tooltip-placement="left" >
Tooltip on left
</button>
Demo in Plunker
Avoiding UI Bootstrap
jQuery.min.js (94kb) + Bootstrap.min.js (32kb) is also giving you more than you need, and much more than ui-bootstrap.min.js (41kb).
And time spent downloading the modules is only one aspect of performance.
If you really wanted to only load the modules you needed, you can "Create a Build" and choose tooltips from the Bootstrap-UI website. Or you can explore the source code for tooltips and pick out what you need.
Here a minified custom build with just the tooltips and templates (6kb)
Have you included the Bootstrap JS and jQuery?
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.0.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
If you don't already load those, then Angular UI (http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/) may not be much overhead. I use that with my Angular app, and it has a Tooltip directive. Try using tooltip="tiptext"
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default"
data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="left"
title="Tooltip on left"
tooltip="This is a Bootstrap tooltip"
tooltip-placement="left" >
Tooltip on left
</button>
I wrote a simple Angular Directive that's been working well for us.
Here's a demo: http://jsbin.com/tesido/edit?html,js,output
Directive (for Bootstrap 3):
// registers native Twitter Bootstrap 3 tooltips
app.directive('bootstrapTooltip', function() {
return function(scope, element, attrs) {
attrs.$observe('title',function(title){
// Destroy any existing tooltips (otherwise new ones won't get initialized)
element.tooltip('destroy');
// Only initialize the tooltip if there's text (prevents empty tooltips)
if (jQuery.trim(title)) element.tooltip();
})
element.on('$destroy', function() {
element.tooltip('destroy');
delete attrs.$$observers['title'];
});
}
});
Note: If you're using Bootstrap 4, on lines 6 & 11 above you'll need to replace tooltip('destroy') with tooltip('dispose') (Thanks to user1191559 for this upadate)
Simply add bootstrap-tooltip as an attribute to any element with a title. Angular will monitor for changes to the title but otherwise pass the tooltip handling over to Bootstrap.
This also allows you to use any of the native Bootstrap Tooltip Options as data- attributes in the normal Bootstrap way.
Markup:
<div bootstrap-tooltip data-placement="left" title="Tooltip on left">
Tooltip on left
</div>
Clearly this doesn't have all the elaborate bindings & advanced integration that AngularStrap and UI Bootstrap offer, but it's a good solution if you're already using Bootstrap's JS in your Angular app and you just need a basic tooltip bridge across your entire app without modifying controllers or managing mouse events.
You can use selector option for dynamic single page applications:
jQuery(function($) {
$(document).tooltip({
selector: '[data-toggle="tooltip"]'
});
});
if a selector is provided, tooltip objects will be delegated to the
specified targets. In practice, this is used to enable dynamic HTML
content to have tooltips added.
You can create a simple directive like this:
angular.module('myApp',[])
.directive('myTooltip', function(){
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, element){
element.tooltip();
}
}
});
Then, add your custom directive where is necessary:
<button my-tooltip></button>
You can do this with AngularStrap which
is a set of native directives that enables seamless integration of Bootstrap 3.0+ into your AngularJS 1.2+ app."
You can inject the entire library like this:
var app = angular.module('MyApp', ['mgcrea.ngStrap']);
Or only pull in the tooltip feature like this:
var app = angular.module('MyApp', ['mgcrea.ngStrap.tooltip']);

Please remember one thing if you want to use bootstrap tooltip in angularjs is order of your scripts if you are using jquery-ui as well, it should be:
jQuery
jQuery UI
Bootstap
It is tried and tested
Only read this if you are assigning tooltips dynamically
i.e. <div tooltip={{ obj.somePropertyThatMayChange }} ...></div>
I had an issue with dynamic tooltips that were not always updating with the view. For example, I was doing something like this:
This didn't work consistently
<div ng-repeat="person in people">
<span data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="top" title="{{ person.tooltip }}">
{{ person.name }}
</span>
</div>
And activating it as so:
$timeout(function() {
$(document).tooltip({ selector: '[data-toggle="tooltip"]'});
}, 1500)
However, as my people array would change my tooltips wouldn't always update. I tried every fix in this thread and others with no luck. The glitch seemed to only be happening around 5% of the time, and was nearly impossible to repeat.
Unfortunately, these tooltips are mission critical for my project, and showing an incorrect tooltip could be very bad.
What seemed to be the issue
Bootstrap was copying the value of the title property to a new attribute, data-original-title and removing the title property (sometimes) when I would activate the toooltips. However, when my title={{ person.tooltip }} would change the new value would not always be updated into the property data-original-title. I tried deactivating the tooltips and reactivating them, destroying them, binding to this property directly... everything. However each of these either didn't work or created new issues; such as the title and data-original-title attributes both being removed and un-bound from my object.
What did work
Perhaps the most ugly code I've ever pushed, but it solved this small but substantial problem for me. I run this code each time the tooltip is update with new data:
$timeout(function() {
$('[data-toggle="tooltip"]').each(function(index) {
// sometimes the title is blank for no apparent reason. don't override in these cases.
if ($(this).attr("title").length > 0) {
$( this ).attr("data-original-title", $(this).attr("title"));
}
});
$timeout(function() {
// finally, activate the tooltips
$(document).tooltip({ selector: '[data-toggle="tooltip"]'});
}, 500);
}, 1500);
What's happening here in essence is:
Wait some time (1500 ms) for the digest cycle to complete, and the titles to be updated.
If there's a title property that is not empty (i.e. it has changed), copy it to the data-original-title property so it will be picked up by Bootstrap's toolips.
Reactivate the tooltips
Hope this long answer helps someone who may have been struggling as I was.
Try the Tooltip (ui.bootstrap.tooltip). See Angular directives for Bootstrap
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default"
tooltip-placement="bottom" uib-tooltip="tooltip message">Test</button>
It is recommended to avoid JavaScript code on the top of AngularJS
for getting tooltips to refresh when the model changes, i simply use data-original-title instead of title.
e.g.
<i class="fa fa-gift" data-toggle="tooltip" data-html="true" data-original-title={{getGiftMessage(gift)}} ></i>
note that i'm initializing use of tooltips like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$("body").tooltip({ selector: '[data-toggle=tooltip]' });
})
</script>
versions:
AngularJS 1.4.10
bootstrap 3.1.1
jquery: 1.11.0
AngularStrap doesn't work in IE8 with angularjs version 1.2.9 so not use this if your application needs to support IE8
impproving #aStewartDesign answer:
.directive('tooltip', function(){
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, element, attrs){
element.hover(function(){
element.tooltip('show');
}, function(){
element.tooltip('hide');
});
}
};
});
There's no need for jquery, its a late anwser but I figured since is the top voted one, I should point out this.
install the dependencies:
npm install jquery --save
npm install tether --save
npm install bootstrap#version --save;
next, add scripts in your angular-cli.json
"scripts": [
"../node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
"../node_modules/tether/dist/js/tether.js",
"../node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js",
"script.js"
]
then, create a script.js
$("[data-toggle=tooltip]").tooltip();
now restart your server.
Because of the tooltip function, you have to tell angularJS that you are using jQuery.
This is your directive:
myApp.directive('tooltip', function () {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
element.on('mouseenter', function () {
jQuery.noConflict();
(function ($) {
$(element[0]).tooltip('show');
})(jQuery);
});
}
};
});
and this is how to use the directive :
<a href="#" title="ToolTip!" data-toggle="tooltip" tooltip></a>
