<select class="form-control" data-ng-options="t.name for t in vm.types"
data-ng-model="vm.object.type"></select>
The code above obviously displays a basic dropdown in a standard form-control manner. I've been trying to figure out how to convert this to a button style dropdown using Angular's ui-bootstrap directives but can't seem to get anywhere. Has anyone tried this?
I hope you already found the answer, but maybe someone else will find this useful. The previous answer refers to a common drop down not a button drop down. Here is an example, but without the benefits of hg-option while I didn't use a select but a button.
<div class="input-group">
<div class="input-group-btn" ng-class='{open: open}'>
<button class="btn dropdown-toggle"
data-toggle="dropdown"
ng-click='open=!open'>
Action<span class="caret"></span></button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li ng-repeat="choice in choices"
ng-click="setChoiceIndex($index);$parent.open =!$parent.open">
{{choice}}</li>
</ul>
</div>
<input type="text" ng-model="choices[index]" class="form-control">
</div>
where choices is an array of strings that will be displayed in the drop down and index is another variable in the controller scope that will reflect the selected choice.
I have created a basic demo of a drop down using angular bootstrap..

I am trying to make a search function which works if I put in the query params into my URL directly but I don't know how to make it work so that it picks it up from the search box and executes it. I have used ng-model to map the text itself to the controller which works but the execution isn't working.
The navbar form:
<form ng-submit="doSearch()" class="navbar-form">
<div class="form-group" style="display:inline;">
<div class="col-md-offset-4 input-group" style="display:table;">
<input ng-model="search.text" class="form-control" name="search" placeholder="Search Here" autocomplete="off" autofocus="autofocus" type="text">
<span class="input-group-addon" style="width:1%;">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>
</span>
</div>
</div>
By the way, my doSearch() function works just fine when I run it manually and so is the search itself. I have also validated that search.text comes through. I guess what I am asking is how do I make the icon (glyphicon-search) execute ng-submit="doSearch()" when the user clicks on it or presses enter.
Sorry if this is very obvious. I was always more on the backend side of things so am sorta new to HTML and Angular.
Thanks
You could place the icon inside a <button> element instead of <span>, tweak a bit of css to integrate it to the form field.
In regards to trigger search on enter, with jQuery something like this could be used:
$('input').keypress(function (e) {
var key = e.which;
if(key == 13) // the enter key code
{
doSearch();
}
});
did you try using <button type="submit"> before your search icon
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>
to specify that clicking on that button is equivalent to a submit event for that form.
So this worked in the end. First, the proper HTML which works:
<form ng-submit="doSearch()" class="navbar-form">
<div class="form-group" style="display:inline;">
<div class="col-md-offset-4 input-group" style="display:table;">
<input ng-model="search.text" class="form-control" name="search" placeholder="Search Here" autocomplete="off" autofocus="autofocus" type="text">
<span ng-click="doSearch()" class="input-group-addon" style="width:1%;">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Furthermore, there was an issue with the view not connecting to the controller. Actually, let me rephrase that - it was connecting to the controller but only when the whole page loaded and for my test, I had a console.log('I have loaded') put in there. So when I saw "I have loaded", I thought my controller was invoked properly.
However, the doSearch() was in the controller which was connecting via angular routing, so the ng-View was not connecting to the right controller.
I am not sure if this means anything to anyone but I am writing this in case someone else comes across an issue like mine.
So just to summarise the issue was not with the HTML as I originally thought. ng-submit (for form submission when pressing enter) and ng-click (for clicking the glyphicon) does the trick.
I'm building a small search app using Elasticsearch and AngularJS. I'm using AngularJS UI bootstrap typeahead to implement autocomplete and I'm using ES's edge_n_grams and highlight object to 1) generate the suggestions and 2) highlight the suggestions, respectively. ES highlight object wraps the suggestions in HTML <em></em> tags... which seems to be causing some issues with how I have things setup.
1) When I press Enter key instead of clicking on the search button - all that happens is the search terms are displayed wrapped in the <em></em> tags AND no search is performed... <em>search terms</em>
2) When I select a suggestion with the mouse, same thing happens.
The only time search performs is when I type a query in and click the search button...
Here is the search form that I'm using, I have ng-submit="search()" on the form element and on the button, not sure where I'm going wrong......?
<form name="q" ng-submit="search()" class="navbar-form" id="results-search" role="search">
<div class="input-group">
<input type="text" name="q" ng-model="searchTerms" class="form-control input-md" placeholder="{{ searchTerms }}" id="search-input" uib-typeahead="query for query in getSuggestions($viewValue)" typeahead-on-select="search($item)">
<div class="input-group-btn">
<button type="submit" ng-submit="search()" class="btn btn-primary btn-md"><i class="fa fa-search fa-lg"></i></button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Am I doing something wrong with the UI Bootstrap Typeahead?
More clarification
So basically what I'm asking is how do I get the tags stripped from the suggestions, on selection and for searching?
Similar kind of example already asked in Stackoverflow: Click here
a backend defined datatypes, which I should render dynamically in angularjs. The backend might define "sex is enumeration, values male and female".
{
'name': 'sex',
'type': 'enum',
'options': ['female','male'],
'wert': 'male'
}
I can quite easily use a select:
<select ng-model="wert" ng-options="value for ( key,value) in options"></select>
But would prefer a button group like
<div class="btn-group">
<label class="btn btn-primary" ng-model="wert" uib-btn-radio="'male'">male</label>
<label class="btn btn-primary" ng-model="wert" uib-btn-radio="'female'">female</label>
</div>
Now I try to have those buttons dynamic...
<div class="btn-group" ng-repeat='option in options'>
<label class="btn btn-primary" ng-model="wert" uib-btn-radio="'{{option}}'">{{option}}</label>
</div>
And I fail. Looked quite straight forward to me. But why does the dynamic button group not work out? Seems not to be connected to my scope?
I'm probably not grasping some fundamental angular concept here?
The code is to be put in a directive, but that's probably not related to the issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You should not use {{}} interpolation with the values
<div class="btn-group" ng-repeat='option in options'>
<label class="btn btn-primary" ng-model="model.wert" uib-btn-radio="option">{{option}}</label>
</div>
Other thing I wanted to point out is, you need to define model to follow Dot Ruleso that will ensure binding will work in correct way. The reason behind you should go for Dot Rule is, you have defined ng-model inside ng-repeat, so that would not available in outer context(ng-repeat does create new child scope which is prototypically inherited from it current running controller).
Demo here
I have a list of text fields with a button below it. I can add text fields to that list dynamically with AngularJS.
The text field by default has an empty value. But I want to order the position of the list item as soon as I update the value of that text field. But when I do that the orderBy isn't triggered.
How can I make this happen?
Here's a quick demo: http://jsfiddle.net/fqnKt/214/
I just wanted to specifically note why the example was wrong (because I had the same issue even though I was using the orderBy directive).
DO NOT USE
track by $index
In your ng-repeat
I think that this is what you want:
<div ng-app="myApp">
<div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="item in items | orderBy:'name'">
<input type="text" ng-model="item.name" /> {{item.name}}
</li>
</ul>
<input ng-model="newItem" type="text"></input>
<button ng-click="add(newItem)">Add</button>
</div>
</div>
Working Example
I am creating a form for each item in my $scope. ng-model is not linking with the data on my form submit.
<li ng-repeat="item in favourites">
<form ng-submit="DeleteFavourite()" class="form-horizontal" id="frmSpec">
<input ng-model="item.Description"/>
<input ng-model="item.Refno"/>
<button type="submit"class="btn">{{item.Description}}
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove"></span>
</button>
</form>
</li>
The issue is very closely related to the comment by #DavidBeech . In an angular controller the scope is seen as a hierarchy object.
So for example if you have the following:
<div ng-controller="SomeCtrl">
<li ng-repeat="item in favourites">
<form ng-submit="DeleteFavourite()" class="form-horizonatal" id="frmSpec">
<input ng-model="item.Description"/>
<input ng-model="item.Refno"/>
<button type="submit"class="btn">{{item.Description}}
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove"></span>
</button>
</form>
</li>
</div>
When that controller is injected into the div and that new scope instance is created it only sees what is at that level and the scopes of it's parents. It has no knowledge of its children's scopes. Therefore, when you call DeleteFavourite() since it is a method attached to the scope of the controller it will not have the context of the ng repeat. So as David stated you will need to do something like DeleteFavorite(item) in order for it to have knowledge of what you are submitting otherwise you will not have knowledge of what item in the iteration you are submitting.
Feel free to comment if you want an example and I can put together a fiddle with an example of scope inheritance.
