I'm trying to use AngularJS built-in directives to achieve some simple JS effect without writing actual js code. It actually works pretty well, except the initial flash.
I know to deal with text, people should use ng-bind instead of {{}}
But how do you deal with directives like ng-if?
Here is my code:
<li ng-if="!magazines.resolved"> <!-- add "&& isOwner" when done -->
<dl>
<dt ng-model="changeToActivation" ng-init="changeToActivation=false" ng-mouseover="changeToActivation=true" ng-mouseleave="changeToActivation=false"><img ng-if="!changeToActivation" ng-src="<?php echo base_url('public/images/system_icons/add_magazine.jpg');?>">
<img ng-click="addMagazine()" id="activated" ng-if="changeToActivation" ng-src="<?php echo base_url('public/images/system_icons/add_magazine_activated.jpg');?>"></dt>
<dd class="magazineName">Create <br> A new magazine</dd>
<dd class="publishDate">Now!</dd>
</dl>
</li>
I know it gets a bit hard to read, but it's very easy. There is a model defined on <dt></dt> tag. If mouse is over this tag, the model value becomes true; when leaves, it becomes false.
Based on this boolean model value, one or the other image will be shown.
It works like a charm, but I can see both images at the very beginning, flashing!
How to deal with something like this then?
ngCloak may help, but you should also use ng-src for the actual image source, this will prevent your site from loading the image before the model has received a value. Also when using ngCloak, you may need to load the AngularJS source at the top of your html file as it may try to load the image before it knows what to do with the ng-cloak directive.
Applying ngCloak to you dt should do the trick for you: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:ngCloak
Here's an example from the docs. Note that it's added in two places- the directive as well as a class. The class is only needed for IE7 support.
<div id="template2" ng-cloak class="ng-cloak">{{ 'hello IE7' }}</div>

I am relatively new to angularJs so I am trying to learn how to do different things. I have been trying to make solutionName act as a p tag if there is no URL input for solutionUrl1, at the moment solutionName is acting as if it is hyperlinked even when its not. Any help would be appreciated.
<a ng-href="{{::data.solutionUrl1}}" class="card__title" style="text-align: center">
<span>{{::data.solutionName}}</span>
</a>
Use ng-if of angularjs to render either one or the other:
Something like this, you most probably have to change the condition to meet your needs. You can also create a new Variable in the JS files like showLink and set this variable to true/false depending on some conditions. And then just use this boolean variable to show/hide the link with the method outlined below:
<div ng-if="data.solutionUrl1">
<!-- code to render the link-->
</div>
<div ng-if="!data.solutionUrl1">
<!-- code to render just the span without the link -->
</div>
I'm using twitter bootstrap with a popover and got a AngularJS scoped variable to appear correctly. The below works.
(data-content="{{notifications[0].user}} shared {{notifications[0].user_two}}'s records")
When I add the following
(data-content="<b>{{notifications[0].user}} shared {{notifications[0].user_two}}'s records</b>")
No errors show up, but all of the {{}} no longer render.
So I tried this as a test of sorts
(data-content="<div ng-repeat='item in notifications'>test {{item}} <br/><hr/></div>")
Much like the last example, I see the "test" but not the {{item}}. And the "test" only show s up once, even though the notifications had three elements. When I look at the DOM there's this
<div class="popover-content">
<div ng-repeat="item in notifications">you <br><hr></div>
</div>
I've also tried just creating a directive to iterate through the array and make the output I want, but my attempt to set data-content equal to a directive have been failures. The examples I've found elsewhere I'm confident would work, but I just wanted to confirm before I begin implementing something like this (http://tech.pro/tutorial/1360/bootstrap-popover-using-angularjs-compile-service) or (Html file as content in Bootstrap popover in AngularJS directive) that I'm not missing a straightforward fix to the problem I outlined above that would not require me creating a directive.

html might be breaking it, try marking it as trusted html using $sce
How do you use $sce.trustAsHtml(string) to replicate ng-bind-html-unsafe in Angular 1.2+
$scope.html = '<ul><li>render me please</li></ul>';
$scope.trustedHtml = $sce.trustAsHtml($scope.html);
<button ... data-content="trustedHtml" ...> </button>
I am trying to do what looks like a simple process: to display a list of items received from an HTTP request with animation.
First of all, here is my way of doing it ( I am open to any suggestions to do it in a better angular way ):
I define a scope variable state that I initialize to loading in my controller and that I change to loaded when I receive data from the HTTP request.
I initialize a scope variable items with the received data.
In my view, I use ng-switch for the states, and ng-repeat with the items.
I define an animation with css on ng-repeat.
Here is a plunkr ( with a $timeout instead of the request ).
I cannot understand why the animation does not work.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
The reason it is happening is because your ng-when. The same thing happens with ng-if, but would work fine if you used ng-show.
The problem is that when your ng-when condition returns true, the ng-when first renders it's content in a detatched dom (so animations do not happen). This dom is then attached to the dom tree (this step is animated but you would have to put your animation class on the ng-when).
When using something like ng-show or ng-hide things work as expected because the dom is always attached (it is simply shown/hidden).
This might be considered either a bug or a limitation of ng-animate, you might want to post a github issue and see if the angular guys have any thoughts.
It seems to be a "feature" of angular that it won't add .ng-enter to repeat items inside ng-switch-when block. You can remove ng-switch-when="loaded" and it will work (You don't really need it as ng-repeat won't do anything if there is no items)
<div ng-switch="state">
<div ng-switch-when="loading">
<p>Please wait...</p>
</div>
<div >
<ul ng-repeat="item in items" class="animate-items">
<li>{{item}}</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>

I'm building a reasonably non-trivial Angular-js application for the first time and am trying to establish some intuition about how to get things done. Most things are making sense, but there's one pattern in particular that has me stumped -
Whenever I place an "include" style directive inside an ng-switch, it is ignored. I've experimented with just about every style of ng-switch, ng-include, and ng-transclude I can think of to achieve the desired behaviour, but to no avail. I haven't noticed any documentation indicating that this would be disallowed, nor any equivalent style of pattern.
Here is an example of what I have tried to do:
<div ng-switch="is_logged_in()">
<div ng-switch-when="true">
logged-in:
<div ng-include="'views/logout.html'"> </div>
</div>
<div ng-switch-default>
not-logged-in
</div>
</div>
The expected behaviour being that the logout form is displayed when $scope.is_logged_in() returns true.
The behaviour I see is that "logged-in:" is displayed, but the include isn't.
I've tried various versions of Angular-js. I've inspected the network traffic and seen that the include is in-fact being fetched, but I can't get this to work. I've had the same behaviour manifest when trying to build my own template control structures using directives.
The way I've seen most examples dodge this is by using JS in a directive to manually show/hide various sections of the transcluded content - is this really the idiomatic way to get the behaviour I'm looking for?
Thanks!
While using ng-include I always assign the path to a variable in controller.
$scope.logoutlink ='views/logout.html'
And in the view you can assign as
<div ng-include="{{logoutlink}}"> </div>
It would be helpful to post a JSfiddle link.
Is there a way to have a HTML-view with pre-populated values from the server, and then get AngularJS to read those values into it's $scope?
I'm thinking of a scenario where the HTML is like this:
<div ng-controller="TestController">
<div ng-bind="title">Test Title</div>
<div ng-bind="itemCount">33</div>
<div ng-repeat="item in items">
<div ng-bind="item.title">Item 1 Title</div>
</div>
</div>
<button ng-click="update()">Update</button>
And the JavaScript is like this:
function TestController($scope) {
$scope.update = function() {
console.log($scope.title); // Should log "Test Title"
};
}
The thought behind this is to let the server render HTML that search engines can index, but have a JavaScript-model-representation of the content for manipulation through JS.
While ng-init is one solution, it requires you to explicitly set the value. So here is an alternative solution.

Note : This solution wont work for ng-repeat. Control flow directives cant be used with this. But for simple extraction of information from ng-bind this works pretty well. All that you need to do is add the default directive ( code in plunk ) to wherever you are doing the bind and it will extract the text content and push it to the scope variable.
EDIT (solution with ng-repeat):
So, I was thinking of a way to make ng-repeat also work the same way. But getting ng-repeat to work like this isnt an easy job ( see the code for proof :P ). I have finally found a solution - here you go :

There are a couple of things you need to know before you use this. This hasnt been thoroughly tested. It only works for repeating over arrays ( not objects ). There could be cases that have not been covered. I am overriding ngRepeat itself which could have other consequences. When you loop through the items ( in your server side code ) dont forget to add default="true" on the first element and default on the rest of the elements.
Hope this helps.
Add ng-init to your elements with the value so that it will work the way you want.

I think what you really want is to make your application searchable by serving static files in parallell. Read more about it here http://www.yearofmoo.com/2012/11/angularjs-and-seo.html
