Count Textarea Lines

I have a textarea which allows users to put in 16 lines. I've build an directive for that purpose, and everything works fine, if the user hits enter.
But I also want to prevent more than 16 lines, even if the user does not hit enter, but puts in a very long text, which is displayed into multiple lines (forced line break).
The background of this question is the following: I have a postcard, and users should be able to enter text to this postcard. The postcard has a fixed width/height. The textarea should represent the fixed width/height of the postcard, so users can see how many space they have left to fill out the postcard (not more than 16 lines).
Is this possible with JS?
My code so far:
HTML
<textarea placeholder="Enter text" rows="16" ng-trim="false" id="message-textarea" maxlines="16" maxlines-prevent-enter="true"></textarea>
JS Directive
app.directive('maxlines', function() {
return {
restrict: 'A',
require: 'ngModel',
link: function(scope, elem, attrs, ngModel) {
var maxLines = 1;
attrs.$observe('maxlines', function(val) {
maxLines = parseInt(val);
});
ngModel.$validators.maxlines = function(modelValue, viewValue) {
var numLines = (modelValue || '').split("\n").length;
var diffLines = maxLines - numLines;
scope.$emit('cliked-from-directive-maxlines', {diffLines});
return numLines <= maxLines;
};
attrs.$observe('maxlinesPreventEnter', function(preventEnter) {
// if attribute value starts with 'f', treat as false. Everything else is true
preventEnter = (preventEnter || '').toLocaleLowerCase().indexOf('f') !== 0;
if (preventEnter) {
addKeypress();
} else {
removeKeypress();
}
});
function addKeypress() {
elem.on('keypress', function(event) {
// test if adding a newline would cause the validator to fail
if (event.keyCode == 13 && !ngModel.$validators.maxlines(ngModel.$modelValue + '\n', ngModel.$viewValue + '\n')) {
event.preventDefault();
}
});
}
function removeKeypress() {
elem.off('.maxlines');
}
scope.$on('$destroy', removeKeypress);
}
};
});

AFAIk there is no way to read or restrict the number of lines of a textarea. Your best chance IMHO is using 16 single-line inputs and focus the next row whenever the user hits the chars-per-line limit.

Try this
function addKeypress() {
var lines = 16;
elem.on('keypress', function(e) {
var newLines = elem.val().split("\n").length;
if(e.keyCode == 13 && newLines >= lines) {
return false;
}
});
});
}

Maybe you can do something like this:
JavaScript
$(".limit").on("input", function(evt) {
var $limit = $(this);
var limit = this;
if($limit.innerHeight() !== limit.scrollHeight) {
$limit.val($limit.data("before"));
evt.preventDefault();
return false;
} else {
$limit.data("before", $limit.val());
}
}).each(function(index, el) {
$(el).data("before", $(el).val());
});
HTML
<textarea class="limit" rows="10"></textarea>
CSS
.limit {
max-width: 300px;
min-width: 300px;
resize: none;
overflow: hidden;
}

md-char-count not updating in md-input-container

Consider the following simple md-input-container with textarea inside:
<md-input-container class="md-block">
<textarea aria-label="tt" ng-model="obj.prop" md-maxlength="250" rows="5"></textarea>
</md-input-container>
When i update obj.prop in my controller, the text is changed (therefore i should call $scope.$evalAsync() too). However, the md-char-count is still not updated. In order it to be updated, user will click on text-area and change it. Only then it is being changed.
I think its a known bug but is there any improvements or is there a -at least- a workaround to this problem?
Here you find a codepen
ps(if needed):angular-material version 1.0.1 & angular 1.4.5

I resolved this issue by override - md-maxlength directive.
Try this codepen - http://codepen.io/himvins/pen/JEgyOK?editors=1010
Function for overriding md-maxlength:
function override_mdMaxlength($provide) {
$provide.decorator(
'mdMaxlengthDirective',
function($delegate) {
var mdMaxlength = $delegate[0];
var link = mdMaxlength.link;
mdMaxlength.compile = function() {
//Line 18 to 64: Code of md-maxlength directive. Change in line 62
return function(scope, element, attr, ctrls) {
var maxlength;
var ngModelCtrl = ctrls[0];
var containerCtrl = ctrls[1];
var charCountEl = angular.element('<div class="md-char-counter">');
attr.$set('ngTrim', 'false');
containerCtrl.element.append(charCountEl);
ngModelCtrl.$formatters.push(renderCharCount);
ngModelCtrl.$viewChangeListeners.push(renderCharCount);
element.on(
'input keydown',
function() {
renderCharCount(); //make sure it's called with no args
}
);
scope.$watch(attr.mdMaxlength, function(value) {
maxlength = value;
if (angular.isNumber(value) && value > 0) {
if (!charCountEl.parent().length) {
$animate.enter(
charCountEl,
containerCtrl.element,
angular.element(containerCtrl.element[0].lastElementChild)
);
}
renderCharCount();
} else {
$animate.leave(charCountEl);
}
});
ngModelCtrl.$validators['md-maxlength'] = function(modelValue, viewValue) {
if (!angular.isNumber(maxlength) || maxlength < 0) {
return true;
}
return (modelValue || element.val() || viewValue || '').length <= maxlength;
};
function renderCharCount(value) {
//Original code commented
debugger;
if(ngModelCtrl.$modelValue !== "")
charCountEl.text( ( element.val() || value || '' ).length + '/' + maxlength );
else
charCountEl.text((ngModelCtrl.$modelValue || '').length + '/' + maxlength);
return value;
}
};
};
return $delegate;
}
);
}
Add this function into your module's config like below:
yourModule.config(override_mdMaxlength);
This will correct character-count behavior.

I meet this bug too, after look deeper into the mdMaxlength directive, I found that we could solve this problem easily like this(according to your code):
angular.module('app').controller(function($timeout){
$scope.obj={prop:""};
//after user input some value reset the form
$scope.reset=function(){
$scope.obj.prop=null;
$scope.formName.$setPristine();
$scope.formName.$setValidity();
$scope.formName.$setUntouched();
$timeout(function(){
$scope.obj.prop="";
})
}
})

Using ngModel on input within a directive, maintaining ng-* compatibility

I'm trying to buld a custom directive that is actually a wrapper around input field (to simplify formatting, encapsulate animations, etc.).
One goal is to use ngModel so my directive would also be compatible with ng-maxlength, ng-required and similar directives depending on ng-Model.
I've created this plunkr with my current state:
http://embed.plnkr.co/xV8IRqTmQmKEBhRhCfBQ/
My problem is that ng-required seems to be working, but invalidates only the complete form (so that form.$invalid becomes true), but not the element itself form.element.$invalid remains false.
Also, ng-maxlength / ng-minlength does not seem to have any effect at all.
What am I missing here? Any hints welcome :)

Hi everyone and thanks a lot for your answers!
I finally figured out what the missing piece for me was: the name attribute which is used by the form to reference the element MUST NOT be on the inner input field.
It has to reside on the outer element that carries the mg-model that also gets the other directives (that interact with the ng-model).
So, to illustrate this in more detail, before my template looked like:
<span class="custom-input-element">
<label for="{{elementId}}-input">{{elementLabel}}<span class="required-marker" ng-if="elementRequired">*</span></label>
<input id="{{elementId}}-input" type="text" name="{{elementName}}" ng-trim ng-model="value" ng-init="focused = false" ng-focus="focused = true" ng-blur="focused = false"/>
</span>
Which was used like
<custom-input id="foldername" name="foldername" label="Folder Name:"
ng-model="folder.name" ng-maxlength="15" ng-required="true"> </custom-input>
Notice the name={{elementName}} that basically overlayed the name="foldername" on my directive's tag.
After removing it from the directives template, the form references my directive and the ngModel on my directive for validation - the input and the inner ng-model keeps hidden. Thus, the interaction with other directives like ng-maxlength and mg-minlength and also custom directives/validators works as expected.
So now, not only the form gets invalidated but also each element is validated in the expected way.
I updated my plunker where everything is working as desired now: http://embed.plnkr.co/i3SzV8H7tnkUk2K9Pq6m/
Thanks for your time and your very valuable input!

I have created one that works, i'll try to show you the relevant part of the code.
The one really annoying point was to reattach the input and the validation to the form of the parent controller.
For this i had to cc a bunch of private code from angular :
/**
* start cc from angular.js to modify $setValidity of ngModel to retrieve the parent form...
*/
var VALID_CLASS = 'data-ng-valid',
INVALID_CLASS = 'data-ng-invalid',

unset = context.unset,
parentForm = context.parentForm,
$animate = context.$animate;
classCache[INVALID_CLASS] = !(classCache[VALID_CLASS] = $element.hasClass(VALID_CLASS));
ctrl.$setValidity = setValidity;
function setValidity(validationErrorKey, state, controller) {
if (state === undefined) {
createAndSet('$pending', validationErrorKey, controller);
} else {
unsetAndCleanup('$pending', validationErrorKey, controller);
}
if (!isBoolean(state)) {
unset(ctrl.$error, validationErrorKey, controller);

cachedToggleClass(PENDING_CLASS, true);
ctrl.$valid = ctrl.$invalid = undefined;
toggleValidationCss('', null);
} else {
cachedToggleClass(PENDING_CLASS, false);
ctrl.$valid = isObjectEmpty(ctrl.$error);
ctrl.$invalid = !ctrl.$valid;
toggleValidationCss('', ctrl.$valid);
}
// re-read the state as the set/unset methods could have
// combined state in ctrl.$error[validationError] (used for forms),
// where setting/unsetting only increments/decrements the value,
// and does not replace it.
var combinedState;
if (ctrl.$pending && ctrl.$pending[validationErrorKey]) {
combinedState = undefined;
} else if (ctrl.$error[validationErrorKey]) {
combinedState = false;
} else if (ctrl.$$success[validationErrorKey]) {
combinedState = true;
} else {
combinedState = null;
}
toggleValidationCss(validationErrorKey, combinedState);
parentForm.$setValidity(validationErrorKey, combinedState, ctrl);
}
function createAndSet(name, value, controller) {
if (!ctrl[name]) {
ctrl[name] = {};
}
set(ctrl[name], value, controller);
}
function unsetAndCleanup(name, value, controller) {
if (ctrl[name]) {
unset(ctrl[name], value, controller);
}
if (isObjectEmpty(ctrl[name])) {
ctrl[name] = undefined;
}
}
function cachedToggleClass(className, switchValue) {
if (switchValue && !classCache[className]) {
$animate.addClass($element, className);
classCache[className] = true;
} else if (!switchValue && classCache[className]) {
$animate.removeClass($element, className);
classCache[className] = false;
}
}
function toggleValidationCss(validationErrorKey, isValid) {
validationErrorKey = validationErrorKey ? '-' + snake_case(validationErrorKey, '-') : '';
cachedToggleClass(VALID_CLASS + validationErrorKey, isValid === true);
cachedToggleClass(INVALID_CLASS + validationErrorKey, isValid === false);
}
}
function arrayRemove(array, value) {
var index = array.indexOf(value);
if (index >= 0) {
array.splice(index, 1);
}
return index;
}
function isBoolean(value) {
return typeof value === 'boolean';
};
var SNAKE_CASE_REGEXP = /[A-Z]/g;
function snake_case(name, separator) {
separator = separator || '_';
return name.replace(SNAKE_CASE_REGEXP, function(letter, pos) {
return (pos ? separator : '') + letter.toLowerCase();
});
}
function isObjectEmpty(obj) {
if (obj) {
for (var prop in obj) {
if (obj.hasOwnProperty(prop)) {
return false;
}
}
}
return true;
};
/**

*/
Then in the link function :
function(scope, element, attrs, ctrl, transclude){
[...]
scope.form = element.parent().controller('form');
var transcludedContent = transclude(scope.$parent);
// find the input
var fieldContent = findFormField(transcludedContent);
var ngModelCtrl = angular.element(fieldContent).controller('ngModel');
if(!ngModelCtrl){
throw 'transcluded form field must have a ng-model';
}
addSetValidityMethod({
ctrl: ngModelCtrl,
$element: angular.element(fieldContent),
set: function(object, property, controller) {
var list = object[property];
if (!list) {
object[property] = [controller];
} else {
var index = list.indexOf(controller);
if (index === -1) {
list.push(controller);
}
}
},
unset: function(object, property, controller) {
var list = object[property];
if (!list) {
return;
}
arrayRemove(list, controller);
if (list.length === 0) {
delete object[property];
}
},
parentForm: scope.form,
$animate: $animate
});
scope.form.$addControl(ngModelCtrl);
element.html(template);
$compile(element.contents())(scope);
element.find('.ng-form-field-content').append(transcludedContent);
// remove the control from the form, otherwise an ng-if that hide an invalid input will block your form
scope.$on(
"$destroy",
function handleDestroyEvent() {
scope.form.$removeControl(ngModelCtrl);
});
The template is a variable containing the html of my wrapping around the input. (it generates the label, put a start if required, show a check or cross sign if field valid/invalid,...).
EDIT :
With my directive i can do :
<div my-directive>
<input/textarea/select ng-model="", required/ng-required, ng-pattern, <custom directive validation>...
</div>
And it will give something like
<div my-directive>
<label for=<input'sname>>Texte</label>
<input [the input will all his attrs]/>
[some extra content]
</div>
I can even put some intermediary nodes or have multiple input that point to the same ng-model (like with checkbox/Radio buttons), however it won't works with different ng-models. I didn't push it that far.

AngularJS Show typeahead on button click

I am using the typeahead directive in AngularJS and it works fine. However, I would like to have a button outside of the input that when clicked would show the typeahead dropdown. Here is a snippet of what I am after...
<li class="input">
<input focus-me="click" ng-model="something"
typeahead="state for state in Suggestions | filter:$viewValue:stateComparator" typeahead-focus typeahead-focus-first="false" typeahead-on-select="updateTagInput(newTagName)">
Open
</li>

Ok, I am having an absolutely terrible time trying to create a JSFiddle or even a Plunkr for this, so I will just give you the code for this directive.
This directive originally comes from..
This epic Bootstrap library!
..and I stole it and played with it. If you would like to use it, you will need the "Bootstrap" (its really a subset of angular directives) library that I linked to. You can make your own subset of this library, but I am not entirely sure of all of the dependencies my directive has as I am using the entire library in my project. Basically, you need any directive that starts with "typeahead".
As you can see, I have named the directive wwTypeahead (that "ww" is for WebWanderer!). It is a very easy to use directive and it works just like the original.
<input
class="form-control"
type="text"
spellcheck="false"
ng-model="selection"
ng-trim="false"
placeholder="Search Here"
ww-typeahead="key as key.label for key in list"
typeahead-on-select="selectionMade($item, $model, $label)"
typeahead-min-length="0"
/>
The really important part to note is the attribute typeahead-min-length="0" which has really been the heart of many discussions online. I managed to make that work.
This directive is meant to take the place of the typeahead directive in the library I linked to. Your typeahead list will be shown on focus of your input box. No, the list does not show on the click of a button, but hopefully getting there will be baby-steps from here. If you need help implementing that, I will be happy to help.

AngularJS directive for text input: focus on next input on Enter

I would like to implement such a directive for AngularJS: if used in input[text], on hitting enter the focus would move to next input. What would be the best way to accomplish this?
I have a very large form and would like to implement a way to go over the fields in a fast way.

Check this FIDDLE
There is ngKeypress directive in AngularJS, you can read more in here.
If your form is static as you mentioned, easiest way to accomplish what you need is passing next input's id (or index in my example). It's up to you how to provide ids, you can pass entire id or an index.
<input type="text" ng-model="field1" id="f_1"
ng-keypress="keypressHandler($event, 2)"/>
<br/>
<input type="text" ng-model="field2" id="f_2"
ng-keypress="keypressHandler($event, 3)"/>
<br/>
Then in your controller, if key is enter, get element by given id, then focus it.
$scope.keypressHandler = function(event, nextIdx){
if(event.keyCode == 13){
angular.element(
document.querySelector('#f_'+nextIdx))[0].focus();
}
}
As you can see, you can use ng-repeat like that by passing $index instead of hardcoded numbers and creating ids dynamically.

Another solution, use this directive:
angular.module('myApp').directive("nextFocus", nextFocus);
/** Usage:
<input next-focus id="field1">
<input next-focus id="field2">
<input id="field3">
Upon pressing ENTER key the directive will switch focus to
the next field id e.g field2
The last field should not have next-focus directive to avoid
focusing on non-existing element.
Works for Web, iOS (Go button) & Android (Next button) browsers,
**/
function nextFocus() {
var directive = {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, elem, attrs) {
elem.bind('keydown', function(e) {
var partsId = attrs.id.match(/field(\d{1})/);
var currentId = parseInt(partsId[1]);
var code = e.keyCode || e.which;
if (code === 13) {
e.preventDefault();
document.querySelector('#field' + (currentId + 1)).focus();
}
});
}
};
return directive;
}

Create a custom directive:
.directive('nextOnEnter', function () {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function ($scope, selem, attrs) {
selem.bind('keydown', function (e) {
var code = e.keyCode || e.which;
if (code === 13) {
e.preventDefault();
var pageElems = document.querySelectorAll('input, select, textarea'),
elem = e.srcElement
focusNext = false,
len = pageElems.length;
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {
var pe = pageElems[i];
if (focusNext) {
if (pe.style.display !== 'none') {
pe.focus();
break;
}
} else if (pe === e.srcElement) {
focusNext = true;
}
}
}
});
}
}
})
