Different class for the last element in ng-repeat - angularjs

Question

I am creating a list using ng-repeat something like this
<div ng-repeat="file in files">
{{file.name}}
</div>
But for the last element alone I would like to have a class (<div class="last">test</div>) included to it. how can i achieve this using ng-repeat?

Answer 1

You can use $last variable within ng-repeat directive. Take a look at doc.
You can do it like this:
<div ng-repeat="file in files" ng-class="computeCssClass($last)">
{{file.name}}
</div>
Where computeCssClass is function of controller which takes sole argument and returns 'last' or null.
Or
<div ng-repeat="file in files" ng-class="{'last':$last}">
{{file.name}}
</div>

Answer 2

It's easier and cleaner to do it with CSS.
HTML:
<div ng-repeat="file in files" class="file">
{{ file.name }}
</div>
CSS:
.file:last-of-type {
color: #800;
}
The :last-of-type selector is currently supported by 98% of browsers

Answer 3

To elaborate on Paul's answer, this is the controller logic that coincides with the template code.
// HTML
<div class="row" ng-repeat="thing in things">
<div class="well" ng-class="isLast($last)">
<p>Data-driven {{thing.name}}</p>
</div>
</div>
// CSS
.last { /* Desired Styles */}
// Controller
$scope.isLast = function(check) {
var cssClass = check ? 'last' : null;
return cssClass;
};
Its also worth noting that you really should avoid this solution if possible. By nature CSS can handle this, making a JS-based solution is unnecessary and non-performant. Unfortunately if you need to support IE8> this solution won't work for you (see MDN support docs).
CSS-Only Solution
// Using the above example syntax
.row:last-of-type { /* Desired Style */ }

Answer 4

<div ng-repeat="file in files" ng-class="!$last ? 'class-for-last' : 'other'">
{{file.name}}
</div>
That works for me! Good luck!

Answer 5

You could use limitTo filter with -1 for find the last element
Example :
<div ng-repeat="friend in friends | limitTo: -1">
{{friend.name}}
</div>

Answer 6

The answer given by Fabian Perez worked for me, with a little change
Edited html is here:
<div ng-repeat="file in files" ng-class="!$last ? 'other' : 'class-for-last'">
{{file.name}}
</div>
