I set a progress in my app
I want to controll The progress in angular's directive
but how can I change data-value and data-total in directive's link func?
app.html
<div class="ui indicating small progress" data-value="39" data-total="50" plan-progress>
<div class="bar">
<div class="progress"></div>
</div>
</div>
In this html, I want change data-value and data-total
I try this:
app.js
todoApp.directive('planProgress', function() {
return {
link: function(scope, elem, attrs) {
attrs.value = 10
attrs.total = 20
elem.progress();
}
};
});
But it doesn't work
so I want to know how to change it in my directive?
Use attrs.$set() in your link function and recompile the element. Also, don't forget to inject the $compile service to your directive.
In your html you've added the directive as an attribute but didn't mention it in the restrict value in your directive definition. You need to mention it in directive definition.
See the code bellow:
todoApp.directive('planProgress', function($compile) {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, elem, attrs) {
attrs.$set('value', 10);
attrs.$set('total', 20);
$compile(elem)(scope);
}
};
});
Simply use :
attrs["data-value"] = 10;
attrs["data-total"] = 20;
You don't want to use attrs.data-total = 20 because the - will force a subtraction.
It's always legal in javascript to use x[keyName] instead of x.keyName, and you must use this second notation when keyName is a strange key such as **$^ùjsls* or data-value. A more useful case is when the key is a variable.
On last thing : as you do, you will always rewrite the coder's inputs. It may have sense, but it's not very elegant.
So I'm doing something like this:
{{someFlag ? "<b>Bold Text</b>" : "<i>Italic Text</i>"}}
But as everyone knows, things don't always go that smoothly. When I included a "tag" in the inline code, AngularJS seems to completely ignored the whole thing and rendered the source code.
I tried
"\<b>.....
and
"<b>...
but they both didn't work. Any idea?
As posted in the comments, you have a few options, from worse to better imho :
First is to use ngBindHtml
<div ng-bind-html="italicOrBold('With ngBindHtml', someFlag)"></div>
$scope.italicOrBold = function(text, bold){
return $sce.trustAsHtml(bold ? '<b>Test</b>' : '<i>Test</i>');
}
Second is to use ngClass, which is not a too bad design
<div ng-class="{'text-bold' : someFlag, 'text-italic' : !someFlag}">With ngClass</div>
.text-bold{
font-weight:bold;
}
.text-italic{
font-style:italic;
}
And third and better, make a directive
<div bold-me-up="someFlag">Or even better with a directive</div>
.directive('boldMeUp', function(){
return {
template: '<div ng-class="{\'text-bold\' : boldMeUp, \'text-italic\' : !boldMeUp}" ng-transclude></div>',
restrict: 'A',
replace: true,
transclude: true,
scope: {
boldMeUp: '='
},
link: function postLink(scope, element, attrs) {
}
};
})
Plunker demo
And to answer your comment, I don't think there's a way to create tag with mustache syntax it's just not the way it has been designed, expressions (the thing between curly braces) are basically calls to controller and controllers shouldn't be used to manipulate DOM.
I'm new to Angular JS and am trying to create a custom directive that creates img tags based on a list of urls and then performs some DOM manipulation afterward. I want to have the images fade in and out over time, like a slideshow. So far, I've got the images added to the DOM, but I can't find anywhere in the compile or link functions that allows me to manipulate the images, as the ng-repeat doesn't appear to have rendered yet. Any ideas?
The directive:
Logger.app.directive("ngSlideshow", function ($compile) {
return {
restrict: "A",
templateUrl: "templates/slideshow.html",
scope: {
pictures: "=ngSlideshow"
},
link: {
post: function(scope, element, attributes) {
var length = $(element).find("img").length; // 0
}
}
};
});
The template:
<div class="spinner">
<img src="{{picture}}" ng-repeat="picture in pictures" alt="" />
</div>
The view:
<div class="pictures" ng-slideshow="log.pictures"></div>
Thanks!

I have a custom directive and an object myObj on the current $scope (inside an ng-repeat).
If the object has a type of html, I want to use one template:
<span ng-bind-html="myObj.html"></span>`
Otherwise I want to use a different template:
<span>{{myObj.value}}</span>`
My problem
This is invalid because a custom directive template must contain exactly one root node:
<span ng-if="myObj.type==='html'" ng-bind-html="myObj.html"></span>
<span ng-if="myObj.type!=='html'">{{myObj.value}}</span>
This is invalid because it destroys my page with extra DOM: (wrapping all my spans (there could be thousands) in unnecessary ng-switch nodes...)
<ng-switch on="myObj.type">
<span ng-switch-when="html" ng-bind-html="myObj.html"></span>
<span ng-switch-default>{{myObj.value}}</span>
</ng-switch>
My Question
Is it possible to have a directive pick it's template based on the result of a switch, without creating extra unnecessary DOM? For example, you can specify replace: true when creating a directive - is it possible to similarly have an ng-switch where the result replaces the switch tag itself?
Edit
My Directive:
return {
replace: true,
controller: 'ChunkController',
scope: {
chunk: '=deChunk'
},
templateUrl: de.partial.chunk,
link: function (scope, el, attr, ctrl) {
el.on('keydown', handleKeypress.bind(ctrl));
el.on('click', ctrl.showValue);
}
};
And its usage:
<div class="content" contenteditable="{{node.type!=='static'}}">
<div data-ng-repeat="chunk in node.chunks" data-de-chunk="chunk"></div>
</div>
With the intent that the child <div> will be replaced with the sequence of <span>s from above.
I wouldn't even bother if you are storing the html in a service just check to see if a value for myObj.html exists in the object and if it does compile and bind the html in the linker function instead of using ng-bind-html
something like this maybe:
myapp.directive('something',function($compile){
return {
link: function(scope,elem,attrs) {
var obj = scope.$eval(attrs.something);
if(obj.html) {
var html = angular.element($compile(obj.html)(scope));
elem.append(html);
} else {
//go get the data and set obj.html
}
}
}
});
I want to call some jQuery function targeting div with table. That table is populated with ng-repeat.
When I call it on
$(document).ready()
I have no result.
Also
$scope.$on('$viewContentLoaded', myFunc);
doesn't help.
Is there any way to execute function right after ng-repeat population completes? I've read an advice about using custom directive, but I have no clue how to use it with ng-repeat and my div...
Indeed, you should use directives, and there is no event tied to the end of a ng-Repeat loop (as each element is constructed individually, and has it's own event). But a) using directives might be all you need and b) there are a few ng-Repeat specific properties you can use to make your "on ngRepeat finished" event.
Specifically, if all you want is to style/add events to the whole of the table, you can do so using in a directive that encompasses all the ngRepeat elements. On the other hand, if you want to address each element specifically, you can use a directive within the ngRepeat, and it will act on each element, after it is created.
Then, there are the $index, $first, $middle and $last properties you can use to trigger events. So for this HTML:
<div ng-controller="Ctrl" my-main-directive>
<div ng-repeat="thing in things" my-repeat-directive>
thing {{thing}}
</div>
</div>
You can use directives like so:
angular.module('myApp', [])
.directive('myRepeatDirective', function() {
return function(scope, element, attrs) {
angular.element(element).css('color','blue');
if (scope.$last){
window.alert("im the last!");
}
};
})
.directive('myMainDirective', function() {
return function(scope, element, attrs) {
angular.element(element).css('border','5px solid red');
};
});
See it in action in this Plunker.
If you simply want to execute some code at the end of the loop, here's a slightly simpler variation that doesn't require extra event handling:
<div ng-controller="Ctrl">
<div class="thing" ng-repeat="thing in things" my-post-repeat-directive>
thing {{thing}}
</div>
</div>
function Ctrl($scope) {
$scope.things = [
'A', 'B', 'C'
];
}
angular.module('myApp', [])
.directive('myPostRepeatDirective', function() {
return function(scope, element, attrs) {
if (scope.$last){
// iteration is complete, do whatever post-processing
// is necessary
element.parent().css('border', '1px solid black');
}
};
});
See a live demo.
There is no need of creating a directive especially just to have a ng-repeat complete event.
ng-init does the magic for you.
<div ng-repeat="thing in things" ng-init="$last && finished()">
the $last makes sure, that finished only gets fired, when the last element has been rendered to the DOM.
Do not forget to create $scope.finished event.
Happy Coding!!
EDIT: 23 Oct 2016
In case you also want to call the finished function when there is no item in the array then you may use the following workaround
<div style="display:none" ng-init="things.length < 1 && finished()"></div>
//or
<div ng-if="things.length > 0" ng-init="finished()"></div>
Just add the above line on the top of the ng-repeat element. It will check if the array is not having any value and call the function accordingly.
E.g.
<div ng-if="things.length > 0" ng-init="finished()"></div>
<div ng-repeat="thing in things" ng-init="$last && finished()">
Here is a repeat-done directive that calls a specified function when true. I have found that the called function must use $timeout with interval=0 before doing DOM manipulation, such as initializing tooltips on the rendered elements. jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/tQw6w/
In $scope.layoutDone, try commenting out the $timeout line and uncommenting the "NOT CORRECT!" line to see the difference in the tooltips.
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="feed in feedList" repeat-done="layoutDone()" ng-cloak>
{{feed | strip_http}}
</li>
</ul>
JS:
angular.module('Repeat_Demo', [])
.directive('repeatDone', function() {
return function(scope, element, attrs) {
if (scope.$last) { // all are rendered
scope.$eval(attrs.repeatDone);
}
}
})
.filter('strip_http', function() {
return function(str) {
var http = "http://";
return (str.indexOf(http) == 0) ? str.substr(http.length) : str;
}
})
.filter('hostName', function() {
return function(str) {
var urlParser = document.createElement('a');
urlParser.href = str;
return urlParser.hostname;
}
})
.controller('AppCtrl', function($scope, $timeout) {
$scope.feedList = [
'http://feeds.feedburner.com/TEDTalks_video',
'http://feeds.nationalgeographic.com/ng/photography/photo-of-the-day/',
'http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eng/index.rss',
'http://www.slate.com/blogs/trending.fulltext.all.10.rss',
'http://feeds.current.com/homepage/en_US.rss',
'http://feeds.current.com/items/popular.rss',
'http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml'
];
$scope.layoutDone = function() {
//$('a[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip(); // NOT CORRECT!
$timeout(function() { $('a[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip(); }, 0); // wait...
}
})
Here's a simple approach using ng-init that doesn't even require a custom directive. It's worked well for me in certain scenarios e.g. needing to auto-scroll a div of ng-repeated items to a particular item on page load, so the scrolling function needs to wait until the ng-repeat has finished rendering to the DOM before it can fire.
<div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<div ng-repeat="thing in things">
thing: {{ thing }}
</div>
<div ng-init="fireEvent()"></div>
</div>
myModule.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope, $timeout){
$scope.things = ['A', 'B', 'C'];
$scope.fireEvent = function(){
// This will only run after the ng-repeat has rendered its things to the DOM
$timeout(function(){
$scope.$broadcast('thingsRendered');
}, 0);
};
});
Note that this is only useful for functions you need to call one time after the ng-repeat renders initially. If you need to call a function whenever the ng-repeat contents are updated then you'll have to use one of the other answers on this thread with a custom directive.
Complementing Pavel's answer, something more readable and easily understandable would be:
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="item in items"
ng-init="$last ? doSomething() : angular.noop()">{{item}}</li>
</ul>
Why else do you think angular.noop is there in the first place...?
Advantages:
You don't have to write a directive for this...
Maybe a bit simpler approach with ngInit and Lodash's debounce method without the need of custom directive:
Controller:
$scope.items = [1, 2, 3, 4];
$scope.refresh = _.debounce(function() {
// Debounce has timeout and prevents multiple calls, so this will be called
// once the iteration finishes
console.log('we are done');
}, 0);
Template:
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="item in items" ng-init="refresh()">{{item}}</li>
</ul>
Update
There is even simpler pure AngularJS solution using ternary operator:
Template:
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="item in items" ng-init="$last ? doSomething() : null">{{item}}</li>
</ul>
Be aware that ngInit uses pre-link compilation phase - i.e. the expression is invoked before child directives are processed. This means that still an asynchronous processing might be required.
It may also be necessary when you check the scope.$last variable to wrap your trigger with a setTimeout(someFn, 0). A setTimeout 0 is an accepted technique in javascript and it was imperative for my directive to run correctly.
I did it this way.
Create the directive
function finRepeat() {
return function(scope, element, attrs) {
if (scope.$last){
// Here is where already executes the jquery
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.materialboxed').materialbox();
$('.tooltipped').tooltip({delay: 50});
});
}
}
}
angular
.module("app")
.directive("finRepeat", finRepeat);
After you add it on the label where this ng-repeat
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="(key, value) in data" fin-repeat> {{ value }} </li>
</ul>
And ready with that will be run at the end of the ng-repeat.
<div ng-repeat="i in items">
<label>{{i.Name}}</label>
<div ng-if="$last" ng-init="ngRepeatFinished()"></div>
</div>
My solution was to add a div to call a function if the item was the last in a repeat.
This is an improvement of the ideas expressed in other answers in order to show how to gain access to the ngRepeat properties ($index, $first, $middle, $last, $even, $odd) when using declarative syntax and isolate scope (Google recommended best practice) with an element-directive. Note the primary difference: scope.$parent.$last.
angular.module('myApp', [])
.directive('myRepeatDirective', function() {
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: {
someAttr: '='
},
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
angular.element(element).css('color','blue');
if (scope.$parent.$last){
window.alert("im the last!");
}
}
};
});
i would like to add another answer, since the preceding answers takes it that the code needed to run after the ngRepeat is done is an angular code, which in that case all answers above give a great and simple solution, some more generic than others, and in case its important the digest life cycle stage you can take a look at Ben Nadel's blog about it, with the exception of using $parse instead of $eval.
but in my experience, as the OP states, its usually running some JQuery plugins or methods on the finnaly compiled DOM, which in that case i found that the most simple solution is to create a directive with a setTimeout, since the setTimeout function gets pushed to the end of the queue of the browser, its always right after everything is done in angular, usually ngReapet which continues after its parents postLinking function
angular.module('myApp', [])
.directive('pluginNameOrWhatever', function() {
return function(scope, element, attrs) {
setTimeout(function doWork(){
//jquery code and plugins
}, 0);
};
});
for whoever wondering that in that case why not to use $timeout, its that it causes another digest cycle that is completely unnecessary
I had to render formulas using MathJax after ng-repeat ends, none of the above answers solved my problem, so I made like below. It's not a nice solution, but worked for me...
<div ng-repeat="formula in controller.formulas">
<div>{{formula.string}}</div>
{{$last ? controller.render_formulas() : ""}}
</div>
I found an answer here well practiced, but it was still necessary to add a delay
Create the following directive:
angular.module('MyApp').directive('emitLastRepeaterElement', function() {
return function(scope) {
if (scope.$last){
scope.$emit('LastRepeaterElement');
}
}; });
Add it to your repeater as an attribute, like this:
<div ng-repeat="item in items" emit-last-repeater-element></div>
According to Radu,:
$scope.eventoSelecionado.internamento_evolucoes.forEach(ie => {mycode});
For me it works, but I still need to add a setTimeout
$scope.eventoSelecionado.internamento_evolucoes.forEach(ie => {
setTimeout(function() {
mycode
}, 100); });
If you simply wants to change the class name so it will rendered differently, below code would do the trick.
<div>
<div ng-show="loginsuccess" ng-repeat="i in itemList">
<div id="{{i.status}}" class="{{i.status}}">
<div class="listitems">{{i.item}}</div>
<div class="listitems">{{i.qty}}</div>
<div class="listitems">{{i.date}}</div>
<div class="listbutton">
<button ng-click="UpdateStatus(i.$id)" class="btn"><span>Done</span></button>
<button ng-click="changeClass()" class="btn"><span>Remove</span></button>
</div>
<hr>
</div>
This code worked for me when I had a similar requirement to render the shopped item in my shopping list in Strick trough font.
