I am trying to figure out a simple way to swap a link in a button in angular js, I have properties available in the scope that I can use, but I am not sure how to implement. The link I am trying to alter is in the 'onClick' attribute in the button. Thanks again in advance, here is my code:
<div class="instructions-button">
<button
type="button"
class="halo-modal-action-button external-instructions"
onClick="window.open('https://mysite/foo');"
window="new"
ng-disabled=""
ng-click=""
data-bs-enabled=""
>Instructions</button>
</div>
I am trying to make a simple conditional to show either:
'mysite/foo || mysite/bar'
but am not sure how to make it work.
Don't use onClick event on the button, although it might feel weird to you, since you are coming from vanilla JS, you should use ng-click.
<button
class="halo-modal-action-button external-instructions"
ng-disabled=""
ng-click="openWindow()"
data-bs-enabled=""
>Instructions</button>
and inside controller
$scope.openWindow = function(){
if ( condition ) {
open('http:foo.bar')
} else {
open('http:bar.foo')
}
}
Two simple ways to do this.
1) Two buttons and show one conditionally with ng-show.
<button ... ng-show="conditionShowFooTrue" >
<button ... ng-show="conditionShowBarTrue" >
2) Use ng-click to call a scope function to conditionally sets the url as the other answers have suggested.
If you're using routes, you can just use ng-click like #Akxe said, and with the $location service in your controller, do:
$scope.changeLocation = function(){
if(condition)
{
$location.path('/foo');
} else
{
$location.path('/bar');
}
};
I think that would be the Angular way to do this.

I'm trying to change the attribute of an object with removeAttribute to take away the hidden status of it but so far nothing seems to work.
My code seems to have no effect. Am I doing something wrong?
function changePage() {
document.getElementById.("p2");
p2.removeAtribute.("hidden") ;
}
I've also tried it all on one line as well like so
function changePage() {
document.getElementById.("p2").p2.removeAtribute.("hidden") ;
}
I've never seen the use of dots before opening parentheses.
E.g.
document.getElementById.("p2").p2.removeAtribute.("hidden") should be document.getElementById("p2").removeAtribute("hidden")
(You are also referencing the element by id after you just retrieved it, which is unnecessary.)
Your first example didn't work because you retrieved the element and did nothing with it, then tried to access a p2 variable that wasn't declared. Again, you also have the . before parentheses.
Here's the js example:
function changeVisibility()
{
var p2 = document.getElementById('p2');
switch (p2.style.visibility)
{
case 'hidden':
document.getElementById('p2').style.visibility = 'visible';
break;
case 'visible':
document.getElementById('p2').style.visibility = 'hidden';
break;
}
}
<div id="p2" style="visibility:hidden">
test
</div>
<br />
<button onclick="changeVisibility()">
change visibility with basic js
</button>
And here's the jQuery example:
function changePage()
{
$('#p2').toggle();
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div id="p2" style="display:none">
test
</div>
<br />
<button onclick="changePage()">
change visibility with basic js
</button>
The basic JS version uses the visibility style, and you can see that it doesn't collapse the element, it only makes it invisible.
jQuery has a nice built-in .toggle function that changes the display of the element. If it is hidden, it collapses the element. When the element is displayed, it is re-assigned whatever the display style is for that element. Building that in basic js would take a lot more work, as you are then tracking state (if you want to make the method reusable). You can make jQuery work similarly to the basic js version if you use the css properties, but toggle is quite nice and simple.
Your main issue is that you were mixing the getting of the element with methods that are only available on jQuery objects. I suggest reading the jQuery tutorials for basic accessors, which can get elements by id, class name, etc.
I have an app with several modals on the page. What I'd like to do is have only one controller function that toggles the visibility of the modals. So, let's say I have the following:
<a href ng-click="openModal(modal1)></a>
<a href ng-click="openModal(modal2)></a>
Then I'd like the modals to have something along the lines of:
<div class="modal" ng-show="openModal(modal1)">
<div class="modal" ng-show="openModal(modal2)">
Hope this is clear. I'm new to angular so kind of lost on this one. I know I can set a bunch of functions that toggle the boolean of that specific modal type, but then my controller would get big pretty fast. I'd like to keep it as concise and clean as possible. Thank you in advance for your time.
angular.module('ngToggle', [])
.controller('AppCtrl',['$scope', function($scope){
$scope.custom = true;
$scope.toggleCustom = function() {
$scope.custom = $scope.custom === false ? true: false;
};
}]);
Use ng-toggle and do an ng-toggle. It works on-click and you'll just need to set the property for each modal and then pass it in. So, something like..
$scope.modal1visibility = true;
$scope.modal2visibility = false;
Then you should just be able to pass in those individual properties to the toggle functions and that should do what you're wanting it to do. Hope I understood your question and that this helps
http://www.bennadel.com/blog/2806-creating-a-simple-modal-system-in-angularjs.htm this link looks like it might be what you're talking about. I think I may have misunderstood after some further looking..
I have a simple boolean variable that switches a DIV to be hidden at startup and then shown after an action until the end of the application. But it does not switch - the DIV is always hidden. Please help, what is wrong in the code below:
<div class="right" ng-controller="EmployeeDetailsCtrl" ng-show={{showEmployeeDetails}}>
<p>{{employee.name}} {{employee.surname}}</p>
</div>
inside EmployeeDetailsCtrl controller:
$scope.$on('showEmployee', function (event, data) {
$scope.showEmployeeDetails = true;
$scope.employee = data;
});
$scope.showEmployeeDetails = false;
BTW, the $scope.employee variable updates correctly after the event is triggered, so I'm really stuck what's going on here.
Remove the {{}} from your ng-show, like so:
<div class="right" ng-controller="EmployeeDetailsCtrl" ng-show="showEmployeeDetails">
<p>{{employee.name}} {{employee.surname}}</p>
</div>
When you're using ng-show you're binding to an expression, not a string, so just use:
ng-show="showEmployeeDetails". That's why you can do more complex stuff like ng-show="1 + 1 === 2".
If that still doesn't cut it, it could be a scoping issue with primitives being assigned to a child scope and not seen up the parent scope. It doesn't look like it from the code you showed but perhaps it's simplified for this question, you never know.
i want to get the text of div using angularjs . I have this code
<div ng-click="update()" id="myform.value">Here </div>
where as my controller is something like this
var myapp= angular.module("myapp",[]);
myapp.controller("HelloController",function($scope,$http){
$scope.myform ={};
function update()
{
// If i have a textbox i can get its value from below alert
alert($scope.myform.value);
}
});
Can anyone also recommand me any good link for angularjs . I dont find angularjs reference as a learning source .
You should send the click event in the function, your html code should be :
<div ng-click="update($event)" id="myform.value">Here </div>
And your update function should have the event parameter which you'll get the div element from and then get the text from the element like this :
function update(event)
{
alert(event.target.innerHTML);
}
i just thought i put together a proper answer for everybody looking into this question later.
Whenever you do have the desire to change dom elements in angular you need to make a step back and think once more what exactly you want to achieve. Chances are you are doing something wring (unless you are in a link function there you should handle exactly that).
So where is the value comming, it should not come from the dom itself, it should be within your controller and brought into the dom with a ng-bind or {{ }} expression like:
<div>{{ likeText }}</div>
In the controller now you can change the text as needed by doing:
$scope.likeText = 'Like';
$scope.update = function() {
$scope.likeText = 'dislike';
}
For angular tutorials there is a good resource here -> http://angular.codeschool.com/
Redefine your function as
$scope.update = function() {
alert($scope.myform.value);
}
A better way to do it would be to use ng-model
https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngModel
Check the example, these docs can be a bit wordy
I am trying to use AngularJS in my application and have been successful to some extent.
I am able to fetch data and display it to the user. And I have a button in ng-repeat via which I want to post DELETE request. Below is my code which does it.
<div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<table class="table table-striped" ng-controller="FetchViewData">
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td>ID</td>
<td>Department</td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr ng-repeat="d in viewData">
<td>{{d.EmployeeName}}</td>
<td>{{d.EmployeeID}}</td>
<td>{{d.EmployeeDepartment}}</td>
<td>
<button class="trashButton" type="button"
name="view:_id1:_id2:_id14:_id24:btnDelete"
id="view:_id1:_id2:_id14:_id24:btnDelete"
ng-click="deleteRecord('{{d['#link'].href}}')">
<img src="/trashicon.gif"></button>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
This is the FetchViewData function which fetches the information and displays it to the user.
function FetchViewData($scope, $http) {
var test_link = "<MY LINK>";
$http.get(test_link).success( function(data) {
$scope.viewData = data;
});
}
The data is fetched and properly displayed.
But the code in ng-click="deleteRecord('{{d['#link'].href}}')" does not fire when delete button is clicked. In Google Chrome's developer tools I can see valid values are generated for code {{d['#link'].href}} but the code deleteRecord does not get fired. From this question I tried removing the braces and writing only d['#link'].href but it didn't work for me.
When I replace ng-click with onclick the deleteRecord function gets fired.
function deleteRecord(docURL) {
console.log(docURL);
$http.delete(docURL);
}
But then I receive the below error.
Uncaught ReferenceError: $http is not defined
deleteRecord
onclick
I am using jQuery 1.10.2 and AngularJS v1.0.8.
FetchViewData here is a controller, and in your html, where you have ng-controller="FetchViewData", you are telling it to look within that controller's scope for any angular methods and variables.
That means, if you want to call a method on click, it needs to be calling something attached to your controller's scope.
function FetchViewData($scope, $http) {
var test_link = "<MY LINK>";
$http.get(test_link).success( function(data) {
$scope.viewData = data;
});
$scope.deleteRecord = function(docURL) {
console.log(docURL);
$http.delete(docURL);
}
}
Here, the function exists on the scope, and any html that is inside your FetchViewData Controller has access to that scope, and you should be able to call your methods.
It's working when you use on-click because your function exists in the global namespace, which is where on-click is going to look. Angular is very heavily reliant on scoping to keep your namespaces clean, there's lots of info here: https://github.com/angular/angular.js/wiki/Understanding-Scopes
INSTEAD of this
ng-click="deleteRecord('{{d['#link'].href}}')"
TRY this
ng-click="deleteRecord(d['#link'].href)"
You don't need to use curly brackets ({{}}) in the ng-click
ENJOY...
function deleteRecord(docURL) {
console.log(docURL);
$http.delete(docURL);
}
It should be
$scope.deleteRecord = function (docURL) {
console.log(docURL);
$http.delete(docURL);
}
EDIT:
change something in html and controller ....
SEE WORKING DEMO
The deleteRecord method should be assigned in the current and correct scope
$scope.deleteRecord = function(){
....
Another possibility for why ng-click does not fire, is that you are apply a CSS style of pointer-events:none; to the element. I discovered that Bootstrap's form-control-feedback class applies that style. So, even though it raises the z-index by 2 so that the element is in front for clicking, it disables mouse-clicks!
So be careful how your frameworks interact.
As mentioned, the function should be created inside the scope:
$scope.deleteRecord = function (docURL) {
console.log(docURL);
$http.delete(docURL);
}
To use the function, first drop the "{{ }}" since you are using it from inside an ng-repeat. Another issue is the use of apostrophe in your code, you have two pairs one inside the other... well I am sure you get the problem with that.
Use the function like so:
ng-click="deleteRecord(d['#link'].href)"
Best of luck !
If you want to use as a submit button the set the type to 'submit' as:
<button type="submit" ...
