AngularJS tooltips/popovers with ng-repeated content

I am using Foundation 5 with AngularJS in my project. I have the following use case:
Click on a 'div' which is inside an ng-repeat.
Fetch a list specific to that div in response to the click.
Show that list in an ng-repeat in a tooltip/popover of that div(which was clicked).
How do I go about generating that tooltip?
I tried:
this library but I encountered some issues as mentioned in this question.
angular-foundation, but the popovers here don't have a popover-template functionality(like in ui.bootstrap).
AND I don't want to use ui.bootstrap because I am using Foundation 5 (Its a bad idea, right?).

Cannot say what "approach" exactly you need, in your particular case (fetch a list of something after something else has been clicked) - but you can always generate the content of the tooltip on the fly :
TEST
function :
$scope.buildToolTip = function() {
var list = ''
for (var i=0;i<3;i++) {
list+='<li><em>element #'+i+'</em></li>';
}
return '<ul>'+list+'</ul>'
}
now use the outcome of "Fetch a list specific to that div in response to the click" instead of the demonstration loop - you have the fetched list stored in a $scope variable somewhere anyway, I assume?

How to remove() and undo remove() on page width conditional ? I don't need a hide or toggle

I'm using select2 which takes in rails instance variables. Due to the design layout, I can't just scale down the original select2 input. I have to create another.
The problem: A rails partial including the logic for the select2 interferes with the logic I need for the mobile select2 feature. So, it needs to not exist, not simply to be hidden (display: none) , etc..
I was able to get the mobile to work by using remove() on the original partial, but how can I get it back. Maybe something with a page-width conditional, but I'm not sure how that would work.
this is the element / render I neeed to have removed then to have it 'un-removed': (haml markup)
.divider-row
.row-border.vOne
#vCompare
= render 'compare', :categories => #categories, :v_friends => #v_friends
my JS:
if (screen.width < 760){
$('#vCompare').remove();
}
how would I get this information back, when the screen size was over 760? append?
Im trying to use detach and appendTo() as some have suggested below:
$('.compare-searchM').on('change', function () {
$('#vCompare').detach();
})
$(window).resize(function() {
$('#vCompare').appendTo($('#vAppend'));
sizing();
});
haml / markup :
.row-border
#vAppend
#vCompare
= render 'compare', :categories => #categories,
the detach is working, but I must not be understanding something with appendto()

Instead of using .remove() you can use .detach() and store the jquery object in some other variable, like
$vCompare = $('#vCompare').detach();
in your media queries, Later you can use this depending upon your media queries. for more info look .detach() | jQuery. hope this would help you.

When you add the item to the page, try storing it as a variable first and then adding it from there, somewhat like this:
var vCompare = $("<div/>",{id:"vCompare"});
vCompare.appendTo("body");
The div object will be stored in the variable vCompare, so you can still remove it with .remove();:
$('#vCompare').remove();
And then add it back later with the .appendTo(); line seen in the first code snippet.
Hope this helps!

Yes, you should use append here. But before you should get proper position from where you removing the element. You can do it via .index()
So, when you want to restore removed element, use .before() on the found by index element.
If lists, or whatever, have a big difference between mobile and desktop, I'd prefer to create two lists, one of which is shown for mobile and another for desktop.

Button not disappearing on multiple views using common div id in jQuery

I am working on a .NET MVC application. I have added a button using jQuery using the following code:
var button_to_add = '<div id = "csv_button"><nav>CSV</nav></div>'
$("#titleDiv").append(button_to_add);
The problem is multiple views are using the "titleDiv" and each view is rendered through javascript. As a result, the button is appearing on all the views. The view slides in when another link is clicked. I could remove the button using:
$("#csv_button").remove();
But I am not sure how and when to call it so that the button disappears when the view slides off.
Edit: I am looking for a javascript call that will detect when the view starts sliding so that the button can be removed at that moment.

As you are saying titleDiv is use for multiple view then use it as a class rather than an id.
And you should have unique id's for each element if at all you are using id's.
so your expression will become:
var button_to_add = '<div id = "csv_button"><nav>CSV</nav></div>'
$(".titleDiv").append(button_to_add);

IDs in HTML cannot be reused. The browsers will accept it, but you jQuery will only look at the first one.
Use a distinct ID to allow for clean, single append.

Javascript retrieve what in the tag using class attribute

im working on a Asp.net MVc application to create a scheduler application for workers.
The schedule is auto-generate using a JavaScript library called: Dhtmlx Scheduler.
upon populating the data, it creates some Html and places the content.
I would like to retrieve the content and was wondering if it's possible by obtaining the info from its class.
Pic for reference:
I am trying to retrieve the "Abel Toribio" so i can do a reverse search in my database for his name and eventually display a tooltip over that td with further information about the person.
So far I have tried:
var engName = document.getElementsByClassName("dhx_matrix_scell");
alert(engName[0].getData());
alert(engName[0].getContent());
alert(engName[0].getText());
alert(engName[0].getValue());
They all seem to give me undefined.
Thanks!

engName[0].innerHTML - for contents inside the tag 'html'.
engName[0].outerHTML - for contents inside the tag wrapped in the tag.
engName[0].textContent - for contents inside the tag 'text'.

As you tagged jquery as well,for tooltip purpose, you can write mouseover event using jquery this way :
$(".dhx_matrix_scell").on("mouseover",function(){
alert($(this).text());
// do something here
});
if you want to get all, you can get them like this:
$.each(".dhx_matrix_scell",function(){
alert($(this).text());
});

Show pop-ups the most elegant way

I have this AngularJS app. Everything works just fine.
Now I need to show different pop-ups when specific conditions become true, and I was wondering what would be the best way to proceed.
Currently I’m evaluating two options, but I’m absolutely open to other options.
Option 1
I could create the new HTML element for the pop-up, and append to the DOM directly from the controller.
This will break the MVC design pattern. I’m not happy with this solution.
Option 2
I could always insert the code for all the pop-ups in the static HTML file. Then, using ngShow, I can hide / show only the correct pop-up.
This option is not really scalable.
So I’m pretty sure there has to be a better way to achieve what I want.

Based on my experience with AngularJS modals so far I believe that the most elegant approach is a dedicated service to which we can provide a partial (HTML) template to be displayed in a modal.
When we think about it modals are kind of AngularJS routes but just displayed in modal popup.
The AngularUI bootstrap project (http://angular-ui.github.com/bootstrap/) has an excellent $modal service (used to be called $dialog prior to version 0.6.0) that is an implementation of a service to display partial's content as a modal popup.

It's funny because I'm learning Angular myself and was watching some video's from their channel on Youtube.
The speaker mentions your exact problem in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhfUv0spHCY#t=1681 around the 28:30 minute mark.
It comes down to placing that particular piece of code in a service rather then a controller.
My guess would be to inject new popup elements into the DOM and handle them separate instead of showing and hiding the same element. This way you can have multiple popups.
The whole video is very interesting to watch as well :-)

Create a 'popup' directive and apply it to the container of the popup content
In the directive, wrap the content in a absolute position div along with the mask div below it.
It is OK to move the 2 divs in the DOM tree as needed from within the directive. Any UI code is OK in the directives, including the code to position the popup in center of screen.
Create and bind a boolean flag to controller. This flag will control visibility.
Create scope variables that bond to OK / Cancel functions etc.
Editing to add a high level example (non functional)
<div id='popup1-content' popup='showPopup1'>
....
....
</div>
<div id='popup2-content' popup='showPopup2'>
....
....
</div>
.directive('popup', function() {
var p = {
link : function(scope, iElement, iAttrs){
//code to wrap the div (iElement) with a abs pos div (parentDiv)
// code to add a mask layer div behind
// if the parent is already there, then skip adding it again.
//use jquery ui to make it dragable etc.
scope.watch(showPopup, function(newVal, oldVal){
if(newVal === true){
$(parentDiv).show();
}
else{
$(parentDiv).hide();
}
});
}
}
return p;
});

See
http://adamalbrecht.com/2013/12/12/creating-a-simple-modal-dialog-directive-in-angular-js/
for a simple way of doing modal dialog with Angular and without needing bootstrap
Edit: I've since been using ng-dialog from http://likeastore.github.io/ngDialog which is flexible and doesn't have any dependencies.

Angular-ui comes with dialog directive.Use it and set templateurl to whatever page you want to include.That is the most elegant way and i have used it in my project as well.
You can pass several other parameters for dialog as per need.
