I am building a single page application using vue.js with materialize and I have a navbar with tabs to navigate to different pages on my website. Materialize's tabs has an active property that displays which tab is currently selected. Every thing this far works perfectly.
This is materialize's tabs reference
The Issue
If you refresh the web page the tabs active property 'resets' to its default position. So I am trying to figure out how to persist the state of the navbar's active property and then reassign it to router-link.
My Code
<ul id="tabs" class="tabs tabs-transparent" :class="{ 'navbar--color': !changeNavColor }">
<li class="tab" id="home">
<router-link
id="home"
class="link"
:class="{ 'navbar--color': !changeNavColor }"
to="/"
>Home</router-link>
</li>
<li class="tab" id="services">
<router-link
id="services"
class="link"
:class="{ 'navbar--color': !changeNavColor }"
to="Services"
>Service</router-link>
</li>
<li class="tab" id="Preapproved">
<router-link
id="Preapproved"
class="link"
:class="{ 'navbar--color': !changeNavColor }"
to="PreApproved"
>Get Pre-Approved</router-link>
</li>
<li class="tab">
<router-link
id="cars"
class="link"
:class="{ 'navbar--color': !changeNavColor }"
to="Cars"
>inventory</router-link>
</li>
<li class="tab">
<router-link
id="testimonials"
class="link"
:class="{ 'navbar--color': !changeNavColor }"
to="Testimonials"
>Testimonals</router-link>
</li>
</ul>
if (localStorage.currentTab) {
this.currentTab = localStorage.currentTab;
var activeTab = document.getElementById(this.currentTab);
activeTab.classList.add("active");
console.log("saved");
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a").click(function(event) {
this.currentTab = event.target.id;
console.log(this.currentTab);
});
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".tabs").tabs();
});
window.addEventListener("scroll", this.onScroll);
},
beforeDestroy() {
window.removeEventListener("scroll", this.onScroll);
},
watch: {
currentTab(newTab) {
console.log("watch");
localStorage.currentTab = this.currentTab;
}
}
any help is appreciated
So I think you can use hash mechanism by using window.location.hash. You can put the data-toggle attribute in every tag anchor. And just check for location.hash !== ''
But the more Vue way would be through client side storage. Check the link its from vue docs. Although it is for the input field but you will get the idea of how to persist info by keeping a reference in client storage and on reload getting your desired state from there onward. Hope it helps.
Remove the indicator that is nested inside the first li, and the navigation works fine.
<ul id="tabs" class="tabs tabs-transparent">
<li id="tab" class="tab">
Home
<li class="indicator"></li> <!-- THIS RANDOM NESTED INDICATOR IS THE ISSUE -->
</li>
<li id="tab" class="tab">
Service
</li>
<li id="tab" class="tab">
Get Pre-Approved
</li>
<li id="tab" class="tab">
inventory
</li>
<li class="indicator" style="right: 488px; left: 0px;"></li> <!-- CORRECT INDICATOR, AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED BY MATERIALIZE -->
</ul>
This is how I ended up implementing this. First all of your router-links or <a> have to have unique id's
mounted() {
if (localStorage.currentTab) {
this.currentTab = localStorage.currentTab;
var element = document.querySelector(this.currentTab);
element.classList.add("active");
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".tabs").tabs();
$("a").click(function(event) {
this.currentTab = "#" + event.target.id;
localStorage.currentTab = this.currentTab;
});
});
},
watch: {
currentTab(newTab) {
localStorage.currentTab = this.currentTab;
}
}
In my application i have to implement hide and show side menu. By default the page menu is open while clicking the toggle menu i have to hide the side menu. How can i implement this.
what i have is:
app.component.html, nav.component.html
<div class="menu-toggler sidebar-toggler">
<span></span>
</div>
<ul>
<li class="nav-item ">
<a class="nav-link nav-toggle">
<i class="icon-diamond"></i>
<span class="title">Name</span>
<span class="arrow"></span>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
Myservice.ts
export class GlobalService {
public collapse;
constructor() { }
setValue(val: boolean) {
this.collapse = val;
}
getValue() {
return this.collapse;
}
EDIT
app.component.html
<div *ngIf="!toggle()"class="menu-toggler sidebar-toggler">
<span></span>
</div>
app.component.ts
import { GlobalService } from "path";
export class AppComponent {
toggle() {
this.globalService.setValue(false);
}
}
how can i hide this list(in nav.html) while clicking menu toggle (app.compnent.html)? Any help will really appreciable. i am new to angular.
If use of service is not the priority then you can simply maintain simple variable to do this task.
Your app.component.ts
export class AppComponent {
showMenu : boolean = true;
}
Your app.component.html
<div (click)="showMenu = !showMenu" class="menu-toggler sidebar-toggler"><span></span>
</div>
<ul *ngIf="showMenu">
<!-- used showMenu to hide/show -->
<li class="nav-item ">
<a class="nav-link nav-toggle">
<i class="icon-diamond"></i>
<span class="title">Name</span>
<span class="arrow"></span>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
hope this helps ...
For this ,
You can make a CommonService to store the state of menu or and use that Service to make toggle you menu.
You can also use #Input #Output , in case you are having parent child relation between components.
Method will depend on how is your project/file structure.
You can create a service and preferably make a static variable inside to get and set the visibility state of the menu. By this you could directly set and get the variable by using ComponentName.variableName.
to play with the visibility you could use(Sorry if there is any syntax errors)
1> Set the document.getelementbyid("idofelement").display= none or block
2>use *ngIf="someboolean" where you should set the boolean in your ts file
Template:
<template name="header">
<div class="blog-masthead">
<div class="container">
<nav class="blog-nav">
<a class="blog-nav-item {{active}}" href="{{pathFor 'homePage'}}">Home</a>
{{#if currentUser}}
<a class="blog-nav-item {{active}}" href="#">{{Meteor.userId}}</a>
{{else}}
<a class="blog-nav-item {{active}}" href="{{pathFor 'loginPage'}}">Login</a>
<a class="blog-nav-item {{active}}" href="{{pathFor 'signUpPage'}}">Sign Up</a>
{{/if}}
<a class="blog-nav-item {{active}}" href="#">About</a>
</nav>
</div>
</div>
</template>
header.js
Template.header.events({
'click a': function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
this.active?"active":"";
}
});
I just want to make set click link's class as active. Clicked link class should look like class="blog-nav-item active".
The example below relies on iron-router and presents a reactive approach for adding the active class
First should modify the template to be:
<a class="blog-nav-item {{active 'homePage'}}" href="{{pathFor 'homePage'}}">Home</a>
And then the appropriate helper for it should be:
Template.name.helpers({
active: function(routeName) {
var curRoute = Router.current().route;
return curRoute.name === routeName ? 'active' : '';
}
});
Edit v1.0+
As of iron-router 1.0, A route's name is now accessible at
route.getName() (previously it was route.name).
In particular, you'll need to write return
curRoute.getName() === routeName ? 'active' : '';
Thank you #jrbedard for the notification
I guess this would be the "Meteor way" you wanted:
<template name="menu">
<ul>
<li class="{{#if isCurrentPage 'pageA'}}active{{/if}}">
Page A
</li>
<li class="{{#if isCurrentPage 'pageB'}}active{{/if}}">
Page B
</li>
<li class="{{#if isCurrentPage 'pageC'}}active{{/if}}">
Page C
</li>
</ul>
</template>
Router.onBeforeAction(function(){
Session.set('currentRouteName', Router.current().route.name)
})
Template.menu.helpers({
isCurrentPage: function(pageName){
return Session.equals('currentRouteName', pageName)
}
})
Router.current().route.name do evaluate to the current page name in the latest version of iron router, but I don't know if that's part of the public API one should use.
EDIT
Router.current() is apparently reactive, so all JavaScript code you need is the following:
Template.menu.helpers({
isCurrentPage: function(pageName){
return Router.current().route.name == pageName
}
})
You can solve it with JavaScript only:
Template.header.events({
'click .blog-nav-item': function(event, template){
// Remove the class 'active' from potentially current active link.
var activeLink = template.find('.blog-nav-item')
if(activeLink){
activeLink.classList.remove('active')
}
// Add the class 'active' to the clicked link.
event.currentTarget.classList.add('active')
}
})
I have a Twitter Bootstrap dropdown menu. As all Twitter Bootstrap users know, the dropdown menu closes on click (even clicking inside it).
To avoid this, I can easily attach a click event handler on the dropdown menu and simply add the famous event.stopPropagation().
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
<li class="dropdown mega-dropdown">
<a href="javascript:;" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">
<i class="fa fa-list-alt"></i> Menu item 1
<span class="fa fa-chevron-down pull-right"></span>
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu mega-dropdown-menu">
<li>
<div id="carousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel">
<ol class="carousel-indicators">
<li data-slide-to="0" data-target="#carousel"></li>
<li class="active" data-slide-to="1" data-target="#carousel"></li>
</ol>
<div class="carousel-inner">
<div class="item">
<img alt="" class="img-rounded" src="img1.jpg">
</div>
<div class="item active">
<img alt="" class="img-rounded" src="img2.jpg">
</div>
</div>
<a data-slide="prev" role="button" href="#carousel"
class="left carousel-control">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left"></span>
</a>
<a data-slide="next" role="button" href="#carousel"
class="right carousel-control">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-right"></span>
</a>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
This looks easy and a very common behavior, however, and since carousel-controls (as well as carousel indicators) event handlers are delegated to the document object, the click event on these elements (prev/next controls, ...) will be “ignored”.
$('ul.dropdown-menu.mega-dropdown-menu').on('click', function(event){
// The event won't be propagated up to the document NODE and
// therefore delegated events won't be fired
event.stopPropagation();
});
Relying on Twitter Bootstrap dropdown hide/hidden events is not a solution for the following reasons:
The provided event object for both event handlers does not give reference to the clicked element
I don't have control over the dropdown menu content so adding a flag class or attribute is not possible
This fiddle is the normal behavior and this fiddle is with event.stopPropagation() added.
Update
Thanks to Roman for his answer. I also found an answer that you can find below.
This should help as well
$(document).on('click', 'someyourContainer .dropdown-menu', function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
Removing the data attribute data-toggle="dropdown" and implementing the open/close of the dropdown can be a solution.
First by handling the click on the link to open/close the dropdown like this :
$('li.dropdown.mega-dropdown a').on('click', function (event) {
$(this).parent().toggleClass('open');
});
and then listening the clicks outside of the dropdown to close it like this :
$('body').on('click', function (e) {
if (!$('li.dropdown.mega-dropdown').is(e.target)
&& $('li.dropdown.mega-dropdown').has(e.target).length === 0
&& $('.open').has(e.target).length === 0
) {
$('li.dropdown.mega-dropdown').removeClass('open');
}
});
Here is the demo :
http://jsfiddle.net/RomaLefrancois/hh81rhcm/2/
The absolute best answer is to put a form tag after the class dropdown-menu
so your code is
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<form>
<li>
<div class="menu-item">bla bla bla</div>
</li>
</form>
</ul>
Bootstrap provides the following function:
| This event is fired immediately when the hide instance method
hide.bs.dropdown | has been called. The toggling anchor element is available as the
| relatedTarget property of the event.
Therefore, implementing this function should be able to disable the dropdown from closing.
$('#myDropdown').on('hide.bs.dropdown', function (e) {
var target = $(e.clickEvent.target);
if(target.hasClass("keepopen") || target.parents(".keepopen").length){
return false; // returning false should stop the dropdown from hiding.
}else{
return true;
}
});
This might help:
$("dropdownmenuname").click(function(e){
e.stopPropagation();
})
I just add onclick event like below to not close dropdown-menu.
<div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right" onclick="event.stopPropagation()" aria-labelledby="triggerId">
I also found a solution.
Assuming that the Twitter Bootstrap Components related events handlers are delegated to the document object, I loop the attached handlers and check if the current clicked element (or one of its parents) is concerned by a delegated event.
$('ul.dropdown-menu.mega-dropdown-menu').on('click', function(event){
var events = $._data(document, 'events') || {};
events = events.click || [];
for(var i = 0; i < events.length; i++) {
if(events[i].selector) {
//Check if the clicked element matches the event selector
if($(event.target).is(events[i].selector)) {
events[i].handler.call(event.target, event);
}
// Check if any of the clicked element parents matches the
// delegated event selector (Emulating propagation)
$(event.target).parents(events[i].selector).each(function(){
events[i].handler.call(this, event);
});
}
}
event.stopPropagation(); //Always stop propagation
});
Hope it helps any one looking for a similar solution.
Thank you all for your help.
In the new Bootstrap 5 the solution is trivially simple.
Quote from the documentation page:
By default, the dropdown menu is closed when
clicking inside or outside the dropdown menu. You can use the
autoClose option to change this behavior of the dropdown.
In addition to the default behavior, we have 3 options available here:
Clickable outside: data-bs-auto-close="outside"
Clickable inside: data-bs-auto-close="inside"
Manual close: data-bs-auto-close="false"
E.g.:
<div class="btn-group">
<button class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" data-bs-auto-close="inside" type="button" id="dropdownMenuClickableInside" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
Clickable inside
</button>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuClickableInside">
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Menu item</a></li>
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Menu item</a></li>
<li><a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Menu item</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
More info: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.1/components/dropdowns/#auto-close-behavior
$('body').on("click", ".dropdown-menu", function (e) {
$(this).parent().is(".open") && e.stopPropagation();
});
This may work for any conditions.
I tried this simple thing and it worked like a charm.
I changed the dropdown-menu element from <div> to <form> and it worked well.
<div class="nav-item dropdown" >
<a href="javascript:;" class="nav-link dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">

</a>
<form class="dropdown-menu ">

</li>
<li class="list-group-item" >

</ul>
</form>
jQuery:

$(document).on('click.bs.dropdown.data-api', '.dropdown.keep-inside-clicks-open', function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});

Your demo with this solution: http://jsfiddle.net/kerryjohnson/80oLdtbf/101/
I modified #Vartan's answer to make it work with Bootstrap 4.3. His solution doesn't work anymore with the latest version as target property always returns dropdown's root div no matter where the click was placed.
Here is the code:
$('.dropdown-keep-open').on('hide.bs.dropdown', function (e) {
if (!e.clickEvent) {
// There is no `clickEvent` property in the `e` object when the `button` (or any other trigger) is clicked.
// What we usually want to happen in such situations is to hide the dropdown so we let it hide.
return true;
}
var target = $(e.clickEvent.target);
return !(target.hasClass('dropdown-keep-open') || target.parents('.dropdown-keep-open').length);
});
<div class="dropdown dropdown-keep-open">
<button class="btn btn-secondary dropdown-toggle" type="button" id="dropdownMenuButton" data-toggle="dropdown" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">
Dropdown button
</button>
<div class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenuButton">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Another action</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Something else here</a>
</div>
</div>
$('body').on("click", ".dropdown-menu", function (e) {
$(this).parent().is(".show") && e.stopPropagation();
});
Like for instance Bootstrap 4 Alpha has this Menu Event. Why not use?
// PREVENT INSIDE MEGA DROPDOWN
$('.dropdown-menu').on("click.bs.dropdown", function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
e.preventDefault();
});
You can also use form tag. Example:
<div class="dropdown-menu">
<form>
Anything inside this wont close the dropdown!
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" value="Click me!"/>
</form>
<div class="dropdown-divider"></div>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Clik this and the dropdown will be closed</a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">This too</a>
</div>

Bootstrap 5
If anyone comes to this via Google wanting a Bootstrap 5 version like I was, it's built in by adding data-bs-auto-close="outside". Note the option is autoClose but when passing as a data attribute the camelcasing is removed & separated by a dash.
I have a collapse widget in a dropdown & adding data-bs-auto-close="outside" to the parent data-bs-toggle="dropdown" trigger keeps the dropdown open while the collapse is toggled.
See official Bootstrap docs: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.1/components/dropdowns/#options
And this codepen for example code (not my pen): https://codepen.io/SitePoint/pen/BaReWGe
I've got a similar problem recently and tried different ways to solve it with removing the data attribute data-toggle="dropdown" and listening click with event.stopPropagation() calling.
The second way looks more preferable. Also Bootstrap developers use this way.
In the source file I found initialization of the dropdown elements:
// APPLY TO STANDARD DROPDOWN ELEMENTS
$(document)
.on('click.bs.dropdown.data-api', clearMenus)
.on('click.bs.dropdown.data-api', '.dropdown form', function (e) { e.stopPropagation() })
.on('click.bs.dropdown.data-api', toggle, Dropdown.prototype.toggle)
.on('keydown.bs.dropdown.data-api', toggle, Dropdown.prototype.keydown)
.on('keydown.bs.dropdown.data-api', '.dropdown-menu', Dropdown.prototype.keydown)
}(jQuery);
So, this line:
.on('click.bs.dropdown.data-api', '.dropdown form', function (e) { e.stopPropagation() })
suggests you can put a form element inside the container with class .dropdown to avoid closing the dropdown menu.
Bootstrap has solved this problem themselves in their support for <form> tags in dropdowns. Their solution is quite graspable and you can read it here: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/v4-dev/js/src/dropdown.js
It boils down to preventing propagation at the document element and doing so only for events of type 'click.bs.dropdown.data-api' that match the selector '.dropdown .your-custom-class-for-keep-open-on-click-elements'.
Or in code
$(document).on('click.bs.dropdown.data-api', '.dropdown .keep-open-on-click', (event) => {
event.stopPropagation();
});
You could simply execute event.stopPropagation on click event of the links themselves.
Something like this.
$(".dropdown-menu a").click((event) => {
event.stopPropagation()
let url = event.target.href
//Do something with the url or any other logic you wish
})
Edit: If someone saw this answer and is using react, it will not work.
React handle the javascript events differently and by the time your react event handler is being called, the event has already been fired and propagated. To overcome that you should attach the event manually like that
handleMenuClick(event) {
event.stopPropagation()
let menu_item = event.target
//implement your logic here.
}
componentDidMount() {
document.getElementsByClassName("dropdown-menu")[0].addEventListener(
"click", this.handleMenuClick.bind(this), false)
}
}
You can stop click on the dropdown from propagating and then manually reimplement the carousel controls using carousel javascript methods.
$('ul.dropdown-menu.mega-dropdown-menu').on('click', function(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
});
$('a.left').click(function () {
$('#carousel').carousel('prev');
});
$('a.right').click(function () {
$('#carousel').carousel('next');
});
$('ol.carousel-indicators li').click(function (event) {
var index = $(this).data("slide-to");
$('#carousel').carousel(index);
});
Here is the jsfiddle.
demo: http://jsfiddle.net/4y8tLgcp/
$('ul.nav.navbar-nav').on('click.bs.dropdown', function(e){
var $a = $(e.target), is_a = $a.is('.is_a');
if($a.hasClass('dropdown-toggle')){
$('ul.dropdown-menu', this).toggle(!is_a);
$a.toggleClass('is_a', !is_a);
}
}).on('mouseleave', function(){
$('ul.dropdown-menu',this).hide();
$('.is_a', this).removeClass('is_a');
});
i have updated it once again to be the smartest and functional as possible. it now close when you hover outside the nav, remaining open while you are inside it. simply perfect.
I know there already is a previous answer suggesting to use a form but the markup provided is not correct/ideal. Here's the easiest solution, no javascript needed at all and it doesn't break your dropdown. Works with Bootstrap 4.
<form class="dropdown-item">
<!-- Your elements go here -->
</form>
I know this question was specifically for jQuery, but for anyone using AngularJS that has this problem you can create a directive that handles this:
angular.module('app').directive('dropdownPreventClose', function() {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
element.on('click', function(e) {
e.stopPropagation(); //prevent the default behavior of closing the dropdown-menu
});
}
};
});
Then just add the attribute dropdown-prevent-close to your element that is triggering the menu to close, and it should prevent it. For me, it was a select element that automatically closed the menu:
<div class="dropdown-menu">
<select dropdown-prevent-close name="myInput" id="myInput" ng-model="myModel">
<option value="">Select Me</option>
</select>
</div>
With Angular2 Bootstrap, you can use nonInput for most scenarios:
<div dropdown autoClose="nonInput">
nonInput - (default) automatically closes the dropdown when any of its elements is clicked — as long as the clicked element is not an input or a textarea.
https://valor-software.com/ng2-bootstrap/#/dropdowns
[Bootstrap 4 Alpha 6][Rails]
For rails developer, e.stopPropagation() will lead to undesirable behavior for link_to with data-method not equal to get since it will by default return all your request as get.
To remedy this problem, I suggest this solution, which is universal
$('.dropdown .dropdown-menu').on('click.bs.dropdown', function() {
return $('.dropdown').one('hide.bs.dropdown', function() {
return false;
});
});
$('.dropdown .dropdown-menu').on('click.bs.dropdown', function() {
return $('.dropdown').one('hide.bs.dropdown', function() {
return false;
});
});

This helped me,
$('.dropdown-menu').on('click', function (e) {
if ($(this).parent().is(".open")) {
var target = $(e.target);
if (target.hasClass("keepopen") || target.parents(".keepopen").length){
return false;
}else{
return true;
}
}
});
Your drop down menu element needs to be like this, (take a note of the classes dropdown-menu and keepopen.
<ul role="menu" class="dropdown-menu topmenu-menu eserv_top_notifications keepopen">
The above code prevents biding on the whole <body>, instead to the specfic element with the class dropdown-menu.
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks.
The simplest working solution for me is:
adding keep-open class to elements that should not cause dropdown closing
and this piece of code do the rest:
$('.dropdown').on('click', function(e) {
var target = $(e.target);
var dropdown = target.closest('.dropdown');
return !dropdown.hasClass('open') || !target.hasClass('keep-open');
});
I've found none of the solutions worked as I would like using default bootstrap nav.
Here is my solution to this problem:
$(document).on('hide.bs.dropdown', function (e) {
if ($(e.currentTarget.activeElement).hasClass('dropdown-toggle')) {
$(e.relatedTarget).parent().removeClass('open');
return true;
}
return false;
});
Instead of writing some javascript or jquery code(reinventing the wheel). The above scenario can be managed by bootstrap auto-close option.
You can provide either of the values to auto-close:
always - (Default) automatically closes the dropdown when any of its elements is clicked.
outsideClick - closes the dropdown automatically only when the user clicks any element outside the dropdown.
disabled - disables the auto close
Take a look at the following plunkr :

Set
uib-dropdown auto-close="disabled"
Hope this helps :)
In .dropdown content put the .keep-open class on any label like so:
$('.dropdown').on('click', function (e) {
var target = $(e.target);
var dropdown = target.closest('.dropdown');
if (target.hasClass('keep-open')) {
$(dropdown).addClass('keep-open');
} else {
$(dropdown).removeClass('keep-open');
}
});
$(document).on('hide.bs.dropdown', function (e) {
var target = $(e.target);
if ($(target).is('.keep-open')) {
return false
}
});
The previous cases avoided the events related to the container objects, now the container inherits the class keep-open and check before being closed.
