Thymeleaf attribute and modal

Edited:
Just figured out that i need JS. Plase, help me with this. I have a th:attr="data-object-id=${department.id}" who store Department id, which i need to put in the modal in the <input id="ids" name="ids" type="text" class="validate">.
How will JS or JQuery looks like? I am trying to write, but all time null or undefined.
<tr th:each="department : ${departments}">
<td class="dep_id" th:text="${department.id}">1</td>
<td th:text="${department.name}"></td>
<td>
<div class="dep_edit">
<a class="settings_dep" th:href="#{'/departments/' + ${department.id} + '/'}"><i class="material-icons">settings</i></a>
<a class="edit_dep modal-trigger" href="#modal3" th:attr="data-object-id=${department.id}"><i
class="material-icons">edit</i></a>
<form method="post" th:action="#{'/departments/' + ${department.id} + '/delete'}" class="inline">
<button type="submit" value="" class="link-button delete_dep">
<i class="material-icons">delete</i>
</button>
</form>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
<div id="modal3" class="modal modal-departments">
<div class="modal-dep modal-content">
<h4>Update Department</h4>
<a href="#" class="dep-modal-close modal-close"><i
class="material-icons icon_close">close</i></a>
<p>Update Department name</p>
</div>
<div class="dep-modal">
<form id="dep-update" class="col s12" th:action="#{'/departments/update'}" method="POST">
<div class="row-modal-dep">
<div class="input-field col s6">
<input id="depName" name="name" type="text" class="validate">
<input id="ids" name="ids" type="text" class="validate">
<label for="name">Department Name</label>
<i class="edit-dep-marker material-icons prefix">mode_edit</i>
</div>
</div>
</form>
<div class="modal-footer">
<input class="modal-close waves-green green btn-dep btn" type="submit" form="dep-update">
</div>
</div>
</div>
I need to give ID value of department to MODAL, so i can update it
My Departments class is easy. Only ID and name;

The 2 tricks to achieve the same (PS - I'm not a Frontend expert):-
1.) Is to create a hidden html-element on your html page & set the value and then get the value of that element using jquery on your modal.
2.) create a function on that html-element and pass the dynamic value to it and then implement your modal hide/show code inside that function, something like this :- -
<a class="edit_dep modal-trigger" th:onclick="'javascript:showFunctionModal(\'' + ${department.id} +'\');'"><i
class="material-icons">edit</i></a>
and your function would be something like this :-
function showFunctionModal(id) {
//logic to hide & show function
}

You can listen to the show.bs.modal event and capture the department id as shown below:
$('#modal3').on('shown.bs.modal', function (e) {
var target = e.relatedTarget;
var departmentId = $(target).data('object-id');
$("#ids").val(departmentId);
});

Problem solved. Huge thanks #Sumit.
th:onclick="'javascript:showFunctionModal(\'' + ${department.id} +'\');'"> on the field which id i want to fetch and then in ready modal function set id.
function showFunctionModal(id) {
$(document).ready(function () {
$('.modal3').modal();
$("#ids").val(id);
});

selecting all class within this in query

well right now I am doing something like this to find all textbox values which has the same class name.
function generalBottom(anchor) {
var sends = $('input[data-name^="noValues"]').map(function(){
$(this).attr('value',$(this).val());
return $(this).val();
}).get();
}
and i call this function on a onclick of submit button like generalBottom(this)
and I have something like as per my requirement
When I click submit button of User I call a general function passing this as a parameter, but the above code gives me the text values of client as well
["perfect", "hyperjack", "julie", "annoying", "junction", "convulated"], which is undesired, I want only ["annoying", "junction", "convulated"] using my anchor params.
How to do this via my this parameter, I thought to traverse through my tags using children(), parent() but I won't be knowing how many fields user have added as its all dynamic, user can add as many values(text boxes).
I tried this
1) $(anchor).find('.rightAbsNo')
2) $(anchor).find('input[data-name^="noValues"]')
3) $(anchor).find('.rightAbsNo').map(function () {
console.log($(this).find('. showNoButton')); })
None of this worked for me.
My html is somewhat like this, code
<div id="attach0" class="leftbottomno">
<div style="overflow: hidden" class="leftbottomAbsolute" id="">
<form>
<span class="absno"><input type="text" required=""
id="absdelete" data-inputclass="leftbottomAbsoluteNo_class"
value="" class="leftbottomabsolutenotest keys" data-value=""
style="margin-bottom:4px; color: #1c1c1c;"> </span>
<a onclick="addAbsoluteValues(this);" style="margin-left: 50px">
<i class="fa fa-plus-circle color-blue-grey-lighter"></i> </a>
</form>
<a onclick="deleteAbsoluteEmpty(this);> </a><br>
<div class="rightAbsNo" id="yesValueattach">
<div class="rightAbsNoValue">
<input type="text" id="nonattach" placeholder="values"
data-name="noValues" data-inputclass="absYes_class" value="annoying"
class="showNoButton showActivity value" data-value="">
<button type="button" onclick="generalBottom(this);">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></i></button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="rightAbsNo" id="yesValueattach">
<div class="rightAbsNoValue" id=""> <input type="text"
data-name="noValues" data-inputclass="absYes_class" subattribute=""
value="" class="showNoButton showActivity value" data-value="">
<button type="button" onclick="generalBottom(this);">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></i></button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="rightAbsNo" id="yesValueattach">
<div class="rightAbsNoValue" id="">
<input type="text" data-name="noValues"
data-inputclass="absYes_class" placeholder="values" subattribute=""
value="junction" class="showNoButton showActivity value"
data-value="" >
<button type="button" style="display: none;"
onclick="generalBottom(this);">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></i>
</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

First of all, you need to define a container to the groups with something like :
<div class="container">input groups</div>
<div class="container">input groups</div>
and change <button type='submit'> to <button type='button'> to prevent submitting the form.
Then change your function to this:
function generalBottom(anchor) {
var all_inputs = $(anchor).parent(".container").find("input");
var input = $(anchor).siblings('input').first();
all_inputs.each(function(){
$(this).val(input.val());
});
}

Here's Jsfiddle
first $(anchor).siblings(input) find inputs
then go through each element from first step and return their value
function generalBottom(anchor) {
var input = 'input[data-name^="noValues"]'
var values = $.map($(anchor).siblings(input), (elemnt, index)=>{
return elemnt.value
})
$('#shows').val(values.join())
}
$('button').on('click',function(){
generalBottom(this)
})
hope this helps

AngularJS - Proven way of handling ng-model data

I have a form, and I'm trying to bind date from it in the angularjs - controller so I can pass it into the djangorestframework view to do more stuff with it.
Now my problem is that I don't understand how to properly bind data from the datetimepicker input filed in the controller, I'll show up my form and small part of the controller, as far as I understand this is that I need to have ng-model on the input field and put a function on the Submit button, and that is clear for me but the part in the controller I don't understand, so how can I properly bind this, can someone please help me, thank you, controller is written in coffee script.
<div class="flex-grid"
ng-controller="FilterContactsListCtrl">
<div class="row">
<div class="cell size-p20 padding10">
<form action="." method="post">{% csrf_token %}
<label for="id_select_date">Select Date: *</label>
<div class="full-size">
<div class="input-control full-size text"
data-role="datepicker" date-format="mmmm d, yyyy">
<input id="id_select_date" ng-model="selectDate"/>
<button class="button"><span class="mif-calendar"></span></button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="cell size-p20 padding10">
<button class="button primary" ng-click="doAction()">
{% trans "Submit" %}
</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Controller:
app = angular.module 'vinclucms.sales'
app.controller 'FilterContactsListCtrl', ['$scope', '$rootScope', 'LeadContact'
($scope, $rootScope, LeadContact) ->
$scope.doAction = ()->
filterLeadContactList()
filterLeadContactList = () ->
$scope.selectDate = null
$scope.doAction = () ->
# Do Action with date form the input field so I can pass it to the restapi view
# this part I don't understand, how to bind this properly
]

the problem is you don't pass any model to your controller. basicly your doAction() method can't do anything!
What I suggest is to change your form to use ng-submit and pass your model to controller.
<form ng-submit="doAction(selectDate)" action="." method="post">{% csrf_token %}
<label for="id_select_date">Select Date: *</label>
<div class="full-size">
<div class="input-control full-size text"
data-role="datepicker" date-format="mmmm d, yyyy">
<input id="id_select_date" ng-model="selectDate"/>
<button class="button"><span class="mif-calendar"></span></button>
</div>
</div>
<button class="button primary" type="submit">
{% trans "Submit" %}
</button>
</form>
As you notice I bring your button inside the form with type=submit.
Later in your controller you can access your data model like this :
$scope.doAction = function(selectDate){
console.log(selectDate); // You have access to your data now
//Do what ever you want
}

Pass ng-model as a ng-click function parameter

Is that possible to pass a ng-model as a function parameter? for example:
<input type="text" ng-model="myModel">
<button ng-click='save('button1', myModel)'>save</button>
<button ng-click='save('button2', myModel)'>save</button>
<button ng-click='save('button3', myModel)'>save</button>
....
var save = function(buttonIndex, myModel){
myModel = buttonIndex + ' clicked';
}
....
In my case,I have more than one ng-model (6 sets), and I don't want to create 6 sets similar save functions in the controller which only the model is different, if I can pass the model as parameter, I would need to create a single save function is enough.

Since you are already having your model in $scope you could use it directly, otherwise Create a function in your corresponding controller like this,
$scope.save = function(model) {
//do whatever you want
}
Example:
Pass argument in ng-click

This is a easy and fast solution for little operations like your:
<input type="text" ng-model="myModel">
<button ng-click="myModel='button1 clicked'">save1</button>
<button ng-click="myModel='button2 clicked'">save2</button>
<button ng-click="myModel='button3 clicked'">save3</button>
it is not passing parameters, but in the on-click definition you can do also normal code.

I had a similar need. In an ionic form, I have 6 fields of same type/data for which the values could be set by button, and I didn't want to duplicate the function in the controller. I needed to be able to call a function on button click, passing a field (ng-model) name as a parameter, and wasn't working. But finally this works. Took a bit to figure it out since I'm new to angular/ionic. Hope it helps someone because there wasn't a lot of info on this.
First couple fields example:
<div class="item item-input-inset">
<label class="item item-input-wrapper">
<i class="icon ion-edit placeholder-icon"></i>
<input type="text" placeholder="00:00" ng-model="formdata.time1">
</label>
<button class="button" ng-click="settime('time1')">Now</button>
</div>
<div class="item item-input-inset">
<label class="item item-input-wrapper">
<i class="icon ion-edit placeholder-icon"></i>
<input type="text" placeholder="00:00" ng-model="formdata.time2">
</label>
<button class="button" ng-click="settime('time2')">Now</button>
</div>
And in controller:
.controller('YourCtrl', function ($scope) {
$scope.formdata = {};
$scope.settime = function(field){
var d = new Date();
$scope.formdata[field] = d.getUTCHours()+':'+(d.getUTCMinutes() < 10 ? '0'+d.getUTCMinutes():d.getUTCMinutes());
}
});
If you need to pass a value from a button, you could add parameter:
<div class="item item-input-inset">
<label class="item item-input-wrapper">
<i class="icon ion-edit placeholder-icon"></i>
<input type="text" ng-model="formdata.yourfield">
</label>
<button class="button" ng-click="yourfunction('This Value','yourfield')">This</button>
<button class="button" ng-click="yourfunction('That Value','yourfield')">That</button>
</div>
And same in controller:
.controller('YourCtrl', function ($scope) {
$scope.formdata = {};
$scope.yourfunction = function(value,field){
$scope.formdata[field] = value;
}
});

$location.path does not change the route after form submit

I have seen many issues regarding the $location.path in angular js on stackoverflow but none of them would solve the issue I have.
I have defined below routes in my app.js:
angular.module(
'hotPosts',
[ 'hotPosts.filters', 'hotPosts.services',
'hotPosts.directives',
'hotPosts.controllers', 'ngRoute', 'ngSanitize' ]).config(
[ '$routeProvider', '$locationProvider', function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider.when('/hot-posts', {
templateUrl : 'gptarin/partials/hot-posts.jsp',
controller : 'ListPostsCtrl'
});
$routeProvider.when('/list-users', {
templateUrl : 'gptarin/partials/list-users.jsp',
controller : 'ListUserCtrl'
});
$routeProvider.when('/edit-user/:userId', {
templateUrl : 'gptarin/partials/edit-user.jsp',
controller : 'EditUserCtrl'
});
$routeProvider.when('/create-user', {
templateUrl : 'gptarin/partials/edit-user.jsp',
controller : 'EditUserCtrl'
});
$routeProvider.otherwise({
redirectTo : '/hot-posts'
});
$locationProvider.html5Mode(false);
} ]);
The list-users.jsp partial will show a list of users where I can select a record to update. When I click ong update button the ngRoute successfully routes the app to edit-user.jsp partial. However, when I click the Save button in that page, it does not change the route to "/list-users", even though I used the $location.path('/list-users') in Controller EditUserCtrl. It redirects me to "[app_url]/?".
Here is my controllers:
app.controller('EditUserCtrl', [
'$scope',
'$routeParams',
'UserListFactory',
'UserFactory',
'$location',
function($scope, $routeParams, UserListFactory, UserFactory,
$location) {
// callback for ng-click 'updateUser':
// force it to refresh in the client
$scope.saveUser = function() {
if (angular.isUndefinedOrNull($scope.user)) {
$scope.user = {};
UserListFactory.create($scope.user, function() {
$location.path('/list-users');
});
} else if (angular.isUndefinedOrNull($scope.user.id)) {
UserListFactory.create($scope.user, function() {
$location.path('/list-users');
});
} else {
UserFactory.update($scope.user, function() {
$location.path('/list-users');
});
}
};
// callback for ng-click 'cancel':
$scope.cancel = function() {
$location.path('/list-users');
};
if ($routeParams.userId !== undefined) {
$scope.user = UserFactory.show({
userId : $routeParams.userId
});
}
} ]);
The update function (saveUser) uses a service which makes Restful requests to the backend server via ngResource. The service works fine (all tests are passed).
I have enclosed the $location.path in the success callback function when calling the resource actions.
I have tried catching "$locationChangeSuccess" and "$locationChangeError" and saw that in this case a $locationChangeError is thrown but I do not know which promise object is rejected causing this error.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Edit:
Here is the edit-user.jsp partial
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="panel panel-primary">
<div class="panel-heading">
<h2 class="panel-title label">Edit User</h2>
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<form role="form" action="#" class="form-horizontal" ng-submit="saveUser()">
<div class="form-group col-sm-11">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="accountId" class="col-sm-1 control-label">G+
Id: </label>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<input type="text" id="accountId" class="form-control"
ng-model="user.gpId"></input>
</div>
<label for="accountName" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Name:
</label>
<div class="col-sm-5">
<input type="text" id="accountName" class="form-control"
ng-model="user.name"></input>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-9">
<input type="checkbox" id="showPosts" class="form-control"
ng-model="user.listPosts">ShowPosts</input>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group col-sm-1">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-offset-1 col-sm-12 pull-right">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-offset-1 col-sm-12 pull-right">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="cancel()">Cancel</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>

Well After a few days of trying everything and not finding any help over internet I sort of fixed this issue.
I decided to share it with whoever reads this post so that it does not take several days of them as well.
When I traced my app more carefully I figured out that my cancel button worked just fine and $location.path was successfully sending me back to the /list-users page.
Further investigations showed that the difference between my Cancel and Save buttons was that the Cancel button uses the ng-click whereas I defined the type of my Save button to be "submit".
I then changed my html code so that instead of providing the function call saveUser() in ng-submit of the form, I used an ng-click for the Save button and changed its type to "button".
Here is the working version of my html partial. I did not need to change anything in js files.
<form role="form" action="#" class="form-horizontal">
<!-- ng-submit="saveUser()"> -->
<div class="form-group col-sm-11">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="accountId" class="col-sm-1 control-label">G+ Id: </label>
<div class="col-sm-4">
<input type="text" id="accountId" class="form-control" ng-model="user.gpId"></input>
</div>
<label for="accountName" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Name: </label>
<div class="col-sm-5">
<input type="text" id="accountName" class="form-control" ng-model="user.name"></input>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<label>
<input type="checkbox" id="showPosts" ng-model="user.listPosts"> Show Posts
</label>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-12">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="saveUser()">Save</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="cancel()">Cancel</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
I still still do not now the mechanics of form submit in angular and why it causes one of the promise objects that the $location.path expects to fail (and hence causing an error in routing).
Any clarifying comment in this regard is much appreciated.

Well after more than a year of experience with Angular, I now know what was the problem in the first instance.
Reading Angular's documentation for ng-submit I found out this:
Additionally it prevents the default action (which for form means sending the request to the server and reloading the current page), but only if the form does not contain action, data-action, or x-action attributes.
Looking at the code it is evident that I mistakenly added an action attribute when I was defining the form element:
<form role="form" action="#" class="form-horizontal" ng-submit="saveUser()">
Removing it will fix the problem:
<form role="form" class="form-horizontal" ng-submit="saveUser()">

you can add $event.preventDefault(); before saveUser(); it will works.
