I am new to AngularJS and trying to design a page which will have two text fields and two radio buttons.
First text field is for current address, followed by radio buttons(one for Yes and second for No), and last component would be permanent address text field. First, user will enter the value in current address text field, after that if user selects yes radio button then it should copy the data from current address to permanent address text field, if user selects No then it should do nothing. Below is the sample code I have written:
*<input type="text" name="cAddress" ng-model="cAddress" required/>
<input type="radio" name="opt" ng-click="copyAddress(true)" />
<input type="radio" name="opt" ng-click="copyAddress(false)" />
<input type="text" name="pAddress" ng-model="pAddress" required/>*
Below is the script code inside controller:
$scope.copyAddress = function(flag) {
if(flag) {
$scope.pAddress = $scope.cAddress;
}
};
when I tried to print $scope.cAddress and $scope.pAddress values in console then it displayed undefined. Even $scope does not have cAddress and pAddress.
Therefore, the main problem is that I am not getting element data inside AngularJS controller
Please find plunker url:

Click on Next to navigate to Second tab, there you will find the yes and no radio button to copy the data.
I have minized the code, please look into it. To understand the flow, you can read the README file.

Try using another scope object.
That is, create a scope object and add property to it for each input like,
$scope.myObject = {}; // Empty scope variable
$scope.myObject.cAddress = ""; // initialize your model for the input.
And now you should use this variable for your input.
<input type="text" name="cAddress" ng-model="myObject.cAddress" required/>
Try this. It may help you.
Html code:
<body ng-controller='Maincontroller'>
<input type="text" name="cAddress" ng-model="cAddress" />
<input type="radio" name="opt" ng-click="copyAddress(true)" />
<input type="radio" name="opt" ng-click="copyAddress(false)" />
<input type="text" name="pAddress" ng-model="pAddress" />
</body>
Controller code:
var app = angular.module('main', []);
app.controller('Maincontroller', ["$scope",
function($scope) {
$scope.copyAddress = function(flag) {
if (flag) {
$scope.address1 = $scope.address;
} else {
$scope.address1 = "";
}
};
}
]);

I know how to pass a value from a view to a controller using ng-model. In the controller it just gets the value from the view using this code $scope.name = this.ngmodelnameinview.
Is it compulsory to use ng-model in field view?
but my problem now is, I have + button, which when I click the button it will automatically put the value inside input text field.
<button data-ng-click="adultCount = adultCount+1"> + </button>
<input type="text" name="totTicket" value="{{adultCount}}">
see picture below:
but when I add ng-model inside input field, it returns null
<input type="text" name="totTicket" value="{{adultCount}}" ng-model="adultcount">
How to fix this? Thanks!
It is giving null just because you have set a value "adultCount" and in ng-model you had given a different name "adultcount" ('c' is in lower case). By updating ng-model with "adultCount", will solve this issue.
JavaScript is case sensitive:
JavaScript is case-sensitive and uses the Unicode character set.1
Use the same case for the scope variable. Update the input attribute ng-model to match the varible - i.e.:
<input type="text" name="totTicket" value="{{adultCount}}" ng-model="adultcount">
should be:
<input type="text" name="totTicket" value="{{adultCount}}" ng-model="adultCount">
<!-- ^ -->
See this demonstrated in the snippet below:
angular.module('app', [])
.controller('ctrl', function($scope) {
//adultCount could be initialized here
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="app" ng-controller="ctrl">
<button data-ng-click="adultCount = adultCount+1"> + </button>
totTicket:
<input type="text" name="totTicket" value="{{adultCount}}">
totTicket (adultCount):
<input type="text" name="totTicket" value="{{adultCount}}" ng-model="adultCount">
</div>

I'm new in Angular and I can't achieve something really simple, lets say we have several checkbox input loops followed by an input text field like this:
<body ng-app="ngToggle">
<div ng-controller="AppCtrl">
<input type="checkbox" ng-repeat="btn in btns" ng-model="changing" ng-change="change(btn.value, 'other')" class="here" value="{{btn.value}}">
<input type="text" class="uncheck" ng-disabled="other">
<!-- Here comes the other one -->
<input type="checkbox" ng-repeat="btn in btns" ng-model="changing" ng-change="change(btn.value, 'other2')" class="here" value="{{btn.value}}">
<input type="text" class="uncheck" ng-disabled="other2">
</div>
</body>
And the idea in here is this: once the checkbox with value "other" is checked it will enable the corresponding text field determinate in the field parameter of the change function, so I develop a function change(value, field) and works like this:
$scope.btns = [
{value:'one'},
{value:'two'},
{value:'other'}
];
$scope.other = true;
$scope.other2 = true;
$scope.change = function(value, field) {
if(value == 'other'){
if($scope.field == false){
$scope.field = true;
} else {
$scope.field = false;
}
}
};
But the problem is, this does not work, I don't know if I making this in the right way, the $scope.field is the problem, how can I pass a parameter to the $scope
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks.
You can use ng-model with the checkbox, then use ng-disabled to listen to that model belonging to the checkboxes.
<input type="checkbox" value="Other" ng-model="myCheckboxes['other']" />
<input type="text" ng-disabled="myCheckboxes['other']" />
I've been trying to grab hold of the Angular forms applying best practices for form validations, that forced me to use the form name and have all of the models as children of it so that I can bind the formname.$valid and all the other stuff.
However I haven't been able to set predefined values to any of the form sub models as I have no access to them in the controller.
My biggest problem right now is how to check for falsy checkboxes because initially the checkbox is unchecked but there is no value, it only gets populated when clicked to change the value.
Here is my form code
<form name="addAppForm" ng-if="creatingApp == false">
<input type="text" placeholder="App Name" required autofocus ng-model="addAppForm.appName">
<input icheck id="ios" type="checkbox" ng-init="addAppForm.iOS = false" ng-model="addAppForm.iOS">
<label for="ios"><i class="icon-apple"></i> iOS {{addAppForm.iOS}}</label>
<input icheck id="android" type="checkbox" ng-init="addAppForm.android = false" ng-model="addAppForm.android">
<label for="android"><i class="icon-android"></i> Android {{addAppForm.android}}</label>
<button ng-disabled="addAppForm.$invalid && (addAppForm.iOS != true && addAppForm.android != true)" type="submit" ng-click="addNewApp(addAppForm.iOS, addAppForm.android, addAppForm.appName)" class="button front-primary large radius expand">Let's GO!</button>
</form>
The "required" directive doesn't apply to the checkboxes and I've tried initializing the model but with no luck.
When you add a named form like that, it is added to your controller's scope. You can access it inside the controller using the name, similar to in the HTML:
$scope.addAppForm.android;
This should evaluate to true/false any time after the form has been set up, even if it hasn't been clicked yet.
Edit: Fiddle where form is accessed in the controller.
I've figured out what's wrong with my code, the ng-init actually works, I just mixed up the operators here -->> ng-disabled="addAppForm.$invalid && (addAppForm.iOS != true && addAppForm.android != true)"
Should have been ng-disabled="addAppForm.$invalid || (addAppForm.iOS != true && addAppForm.android != true)"
Still the problem persists of not being able to access the form from the controller not even in the same view outside of the form.
I still don't understand why u have to save your data in the Formcontroller u can use a object ( here i call it 'model' ) and put all your form values inside. Your Formcontroller object ( 'addAppForm' ) has functionality and saves validation errors see here : https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/type/form.FormController This object is added to the scope of your Controller late in the initialisation of your Controller
see: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/form
Directive that instantiates FormController.
If the name attribute is specified, the form controller is published onto the current scope under this name.
Here is the way to have the form invalid if not at least one checkbox is selected
var myApp = angular.module("myApp", []);
myApp.controller("myController1", function($scope) {
$scope.model = {
"ios": false,
"android": false
};
});
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myController1">
<form name="addAppForm">
<input type="text" placeholder="App Name" required autofocus ng-model="model.appName" />
<input id="ios" name="ios" type="checkbox" ng-model="model.ios" ng-required="!model.ios && !model.android" />
<label for="ios"><i class="icon-apple"></i> iOS</label>
<input id="android" name="android" type="checkbox" ng-model="model.android" ng-required="!model.ios && !model.android" />
<label for="android"><i class="icon-android"></i> Android</label>
<button ng-disabled="addAppForm.$invalid " type="submit" ng-click="addNewApp(model.ios, model.android, model.appName)" class="button front-primary large radius expand">Let's GO!</button>
</form>
</div>
<script src="https://code.angularjs.org/1.3.8/angular.min.js"></script>
I try to figure out how I can keep the focus on an input field in angularjs after I click on a button.
My goal is to prevent my mobile to hide his keyboard right after I click on the + button. I want to keep the focus on input choice.
Like this the user can add a new choice without the need to click again on my input.
<div id="demo" ng-app="Foobar">
<div ng-controller="DemoCtrl">
<input type="text" ng-model="title" placeholder="title" />
<input type="text" ng-model="choice" placeholder="choice" />
<button ng-click="addChoice(choice)">+</button>
{{choices}}
</div>
</div>
angular.module('Foobar', [])
.controller('DemoCtrl', ['$scope', function ($scope) {
$scope.choices = [];
$scope.addChoice = function (choice) {
$scope.choices.push(choice);
};
}]);
http://jsfiddle.net/gbg09bto/
What is the best strategy ? (directive, ng-focus)
simplest thing is do it by plain javascript
to do it
in html // put a id attribute
<input type="text" id="choice" ng-model="choice" placeholder="choice" />
in controller function
$scope.addChoice = function (choice) {
$scope.choices.push(choice);
document.getElementById("choice").focus(); // get the element by id & focus the input
};
here is the updated Fiddle
I want to retrieve textfield value using javascript. suppose i have a code like:
<input type='text' name='txt'>
And I want to retrieve it using javascript. I call a function when a button is clicked:
<input type='button' onclick='retrieve(txt)'>
What coding will the retrieve function consist of?
You can do this:
Markup:
<input type="text" name="txt" id="txt"/>
<input type="button" onclick="retrieve('txt');"/>
JavaScript:
function retrieve(id) {
var txtbox = document.getElementById(id);
var value = txtbox.value;
}
Let's say you have an input on your page with an id of input1, like this:
<input type="text" id="input1" />
You first need to get the element, and if you know the Id, you can use document.getElementById('input1'). Then, just call .value to get the value of the input box:
var value = document.getElementById('input1').value;
Update
Based on your markup, I would suggest specifying an id for your text box. Incase you don't have control over the markup, you can use document.getElementsByName, like so:
var value = document.getElementsByName('txt')[0].value;
One of the way is already explained by Andrew Hare.
You can also do it by entering the value in the textbox and getting a prompt box with entered message when a user click the button.
Let's say, you have a textbox and a input button
<input type="text" name="myText" size="20" />
<input type="button" value="Alert Text" onclick="retrieve()" />
The function for retrieve()
function retrieve()
{
var text = document.simpleForm.myText.value;
alert(text);
}
