In the below code, I'm trying to get a console log in the Directive (child scope),I need to get scope details.I tried adding a scope variable to the function in the directive also, but didn't work.
How can I fix this?
myDirective.html
<html ng-app="MyAppdr">
<head>
<script src="angular.js"></script>
<script src="appdr.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="dirCtrl">
<h1>hello</h1>
<employee-card></employee-card>
<!--div employee-card></div>
<div class="employee-card"></div--->
</body>
<html>
employee_info.html
<b>{{employee.name}}</b> - {{employee.job}}
<br/><br/>
<div ng-show='!!employee.followers'>
followers
<ul>
<li ng-repeat='name in employee.followers'>{{name}}</li>
</ul>
<button ng-click="follow('Galaa')">follow</button>
</div>
</div>
appdr.js
name="MyAppdr";
requires=[];
appdr=angular.module(name,requires);
appdr.controller("dirCtrl",function($scope){
console.log("This is controller dirCtrl");
$scope.employee={
name:"subo",
job:"cat",
followers:["chin","adyakshaka","aluu"]
}
console.log("parent ",$scope);
/*
$scope.follow=function(name){
$scope.employee.followers.push(name);
}
*/
});
appdr.directive("employeeCard",function(){
//$scope.employee={};
console.log("child ",$scope);
return{
templateUrl:'employee_info.html',
restrict:"AEC",
//replace:true,
controller:function($scope){
$scope.follow=function(name){
$scope.employee.followers.push(name);
}
},
scope:true
}
});
For your particular case, using scope: false seems to be sufficient if you are not showing multiple cards in same page.
appdr.directive("employeeCard",function() {
return {
scope: false,
// other attributes
If you need to show multiple cards in same page, use isolated scope and pass in
appdr.directive("employeeCard",function() {
return {
scope: {
employee: '='
},
// other attributes
<employee-card employee="employee"></employee-card>
Move the console.log() inside the controller of the directive.
appdr.directive("employeeCard", function() {
return {
templateUrl: 'employee_info.html',
restrict: "AEC",
//replace:true,
controller: function($scope) {
console.log("child ", $scope);
$scope.follow = function(name) {
$scope.employee.followers.push(name);
}
},
scope: true
}
});
If you will have only one employee card on the page then keep scope: true else if you need to show multiple cards in the same page, use an isolated scope and pass it in the template.
appdr.directive("employeeCard", function() {
return {
templateUrl: 'employee_info.html',
restrict: "AEC",
//replace:true,
controller: function($scope) {
console.log("child ", $scope);
$scope.follow = function(name) {
$scope.employee.followers.push(name);
}
},
scope: {
employee: "="
}
}
});
And in the html use something like
<employee-card employee="employee"></employee-card>
Refer the documentation of directive here
I have a view with a ui.bootstrap modal that has its own controller.
In the view, i have a directive that generates a number of buttons with a unique ID.
I want to be able to click on one of the buttons generated and call the main view's controller to launch the modal.
Here is the main view module:
/* global angular */
angular.module('my.jobs', [
'ui.router',
'ui.bootstrap'
])
.controller('DashboardJobsCtrl', function DashboardJobsController($rootScope, $scope, $log, $state, $modal) {
var self = this;
angular.extend(this, {
displayReceipt: function(jobId) {
var modalInstance = $modal.open({
animation: true,
templateUrl: 'receiptModal.html',
size: 'lg',
controller: function($scope, $modalInstance, jobsService) {
//CODE HERE FOR ADDING VALUES TO THE MODAL...
$scope.clear = function() {
$modalInstance.close();
};
}
});
}
});
});
Here is the directive:
angular.module('jobView', ['ui.router', 'ui.bootstrap'])
.directive('jobView', function($compile, $http, $templateCache, DOMAINS) {
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: {
job: '=',
view: '#'
},
template: 'myTemplate.html',
link: function($scope, element, attrs) {
//ASSUME THERE IS CODE HERE FOR GENERATING UNIQUE ID FOR JOBS
//NEXT LINE I WANT TO CALL MODAL FROM THE MAIN VIEW MODULE
$scope.displayReceipt('jobId')
}
};
});
I know this is a simple scope issue, but it's driving me nuts that I can't make the connection.
Here is the perfect example. calling method of parent controller from a directive in AngularJS.
I have update your example below.
<job-View updateParent='displayReceipt()'></job-View>
angular.module('jobView', ['ui.router', 'ui.bootstrap'])
.directive('jobView', function($compile, $http, $templateCache, DOMAINS) {
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: {
job: '=',
view: '#',
updateParent:'&'
},
template: 'myTemplate.html',
link: function($scope, element, attrs) {
//ASSUME THERE IS CODE HERE FOR GENERATING UNIQUE ID FOR JOBS
//NEXT LINE I WANT TO CALL MODAL FROM THE MAIN VIEW MODULE
$scope.displayReceipt('jobId')
}
};
});
I have a directive
configModule.directive('iMemoryDiv',function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: {},
replace: true,
templateUrl: '/memoryDiv.html',
link: function(scope, el, attrs) {
scope.iObj = scope.$parent[attrs.bIObject];
if(angular.isDefined(scope.iObj)){
getSummary(scope.iObj);
}
function getSummary(iObj){
}
}
};
}
);
and I am calling it from html by passing an object attribute
<i-memory-div b-i-object="app"></i-memory-div> //here app is declared in a respective controller
but, here directive is getting loaded before the controller where value for 'app' is getting assigned.So scope.iObj = scope.$parent[attrs.bIObject] is always giving me undefined.
How can make directive load after the app value is getting assigned ??
Isn't it easier doing it this way:
configModule.directive('iMemoryDiv',function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: {
'bIObject': '=',
'getParentObject': '&'
},
replace: true,
templateUrl: '/memoryDiv.html',
link: function(scope, el, attrs) {
scope.$watch('bIObject', function(newValue) {
if(angular.isDefined(newValue)) {
getSummary(scope.getParentObject({name: newValue}));
}
});
function getSummary(iObj){
}
}
};
}
Or do you need more from the parent scope??
You could give your directive an isolated scope and add bIObject as a scope property:
scope: {
bIObject: '=',
},
you could then put your code in the controller: rather than link:
Use $observe service in link function,like this
if(attrs. bIObject) {
attrs.$observe('bIObject', function(value) {
console.log(value);
})
}
I have an MVC application using angularJS. I have a primary navigation and secondary navigation. I am using ngRoute for primary navigation. I made secondary navigation template a directive that I can use in all the other pages. The template used in the directive needs some input parameters.
Routing code:
myApp.config(['$routeProvider', function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.
when('/SecondaryNavigation/1', {
templateUrl: 'administration/Page1',
resolve: {
SecNavItems: ["$http", function($http){
var navItems = $http.get('/Navigation/SecondaryNavigation', {params: { pageName: 'Administration'}});
navItems.success(function (data) {
return data;
});
}]
},
controller: 'AdminController'
})}]);
var AdminController = function ($scope, SecNavItems) {
$scope.secList = SecNavItems;
}
AdminController.$inject = ["$scope", "SecNavItems"];
myApp.controller("AdminController", AdminController);
Web method code:
[HttpGet]
public JsonResult SecondaryNavigation(string pageName)
{
Dictionary<string, string> secnavItems = new Dictionary<string, string>();
secnavItems.Add("1", "Item1");
secnavItems.Add("2", "Item2");
var navigationItemsJson = Json(secnavItems, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
return navigationItemsJson;
}
Page1 code is
<secondary-navigation></secondary-navigation>
My directive is defined as follows:
myApp.directive("secondaryNavigation", function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: {},
templateUrl: '/navigation/secondaryNavigation'
}
});
Partial view template:
<div style="height:100%; width:25%; background-color:#675c5c; color: white; float:left">
#foreach (KeyValuePair<int, string> navItem in secList)
{
#navItem.Value<br /><br />
}
</div>
<div style="height:100%; width:75%; float:right"></div>
When I run the application I do not see the Item1 and Item2 in the page instead I see {{object}}
Please advise what I am missing in passing the parameters to the template used in the directive.
Thank you.
Figured what went wrong.
I had to create a html template of secondary navigation. I then included the web service call in the admincontroller, set the object value to the webservice result and added it to the routeProvider. I then
set the scope to false in the directive.
Following are the changes I made.
Routing code:
myApp.config(['$routeProvider', function ($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider.
when('/SecondaryNavigation/1', {
templateUrl: 'administration/Page1',
controller: 'AdminController'
})}]);
var AdminController = function ($scope, $http) {
var navItems = $http.get('/Navigation/SecondaryNavigation', {params: { pageName: 'Administration'}});
navItems.success(function (data) {
$scope.secList = data;
});
}]
},
}
AdminController.$inject = ["$scope", "$http"];
myApp.controller("AdminController", AdminController);
My directive is defined as follows:
myApp.directive("secondaryNavigation", function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: false,
templateUrl: '/navigation/secondaryNavigation'
}
});
I am currently adding some bootstrap tooltips in my application.
All of the "normal" tooltips are ok, but when I want to use tooltip-html-unsafe, all I got is an empty tooltip.
My tooltip:
<a><span tooltip-placement="right" tooltip-html-safe="{{myHTMLText}}"> Help </span></a>
In the DOM, I have:
<div class="tooltip-inner" ng-bind-html-unsafe="content"></div>
The div's content seems empty, so there is nothing to show in the tooltip. I tried to put directly in the DOM some HTML text like:
<div class="tooltip-inner" ng-bind-html-unsafe="content"><b>test</b></div> and it works.
Do you have an idea?
The html-unsafe directive is designed to point at it's content. What about this:
<div data-ng-controller="SomeCtrl">
<span data-tooltip-html-unsafe="{{yourContent}}" data-tooltip-placement="right">
Help
</span>
</div>
Then, in SomeCtrl, make a variable to hold the html:
$scope.yourContent = "<b>my html, yay</b>
IF you would like to modify bootstrap to take the content from a element, it can be done like this. First, you must change the tooltip template so that it calls a function to get the html:
angular.module("template/tooltip/tooltip-html-unsafe-popup.html", []).run(["$templateCache", function($templateCache) {
$templateCache.put("template/tooltip/tooltip-html-unsafe-popup.html",
"<div class=\"tooltip {{placement}}\" ng-class=\"{ in: isOpen(), fade: animation() }\">\n" +
" <div class=\"tooltip-arrow\"></div>\n" +
" <div class=\"tooltip-inner\" ng-bind-html-unsafe=\"getToolTipHtml()\"></div>\n" +
"</div>\n" +
"");
}]);
Then, make a link function for the tooltipHtmlUnsafePopup:
.directive( 'tooltipHtmlUnsafePopup', function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
replace: true,
scope: { content: '#', placement: '#', animation: '&', isOpen: '&' },
templateUrl: 'template/tooltip/tooltip-html-unsafe-popup.html',
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
scope.getTooltipHtml = function() {
var elemId = '#' + scope.content;
var htmlContent = $rootElement.find(elemId).html();
return htmlContent;
};
}
};
})
EDIT: Later I extracted the customized code from ui-bootstrap, which is good since you do not have to modify ui-bootstrap to use it now. Here is the extracted code, in a module called "bootstrapx". This is just for popovers (as I was not really using tooltips) but I feel like this should be easily adaptable for tooltips too.
angular.module("bootstrapx", ["bootstrapx.tpls","bootstrapx.popover","bootstrapx.popover.dismisser"]);
angular.module("bootstrapx.tpls", ["template/popover/popover-html.html","template/popover/popover-html-unsafe.html","template/popover/popover-template.html"]);

}
});
if ($('.popover').has(e.target).length) {
clickedOutside = false;
}
if (clickedOutside) {
$('.popover').prev().click();
}
});
}
};
}]);
I have the dismissPopovers directive on the body tag (this is likely applicable for tooltips too, you will just have to modify it to suit your needs):
<body data-ng-controller="AppController" data-dismiss-popovers>
I have created custom directive which allows html tooltips for bootsrap in very simple way. No need to override any templates:
angular.module('vermouthApp.htmlTooltip', [
])
.directive('vaTooltip', ['$http', '$templateCache', '$compile', '$parse', '$timeout', function ($http, $templateCache, $compile, $parse, $timeout)
{
//va-tooltip = path to template or pure tooltip string
//tooltip-updater = scope item to watch for changes when template has to be reloaded [optional (only if template is dynamic)]
//All other attributes can be added for standart boostrap tooltip behavior (ex. tooltip-placement)
return {
restrict: 'A',
scope: true,
compile: function (tElem, tAttrs)
{
//Add bootstrap directive
if (!tElem.attr('tooltip-html-unsafe'))
{
tElem.attr('tooltip-html-unsafe', '{{tooltip}}');
}
return function (scope, element, attrs)
{
scope.tooltip = attrs.vaTooltip;
var tplUrl = $parse(scope.tooltip)(scope);
function loadTemplate()
{
$http.get(tplUrl, { cache: $templateCache }).success(function (tplContent)
{
var container = $('<div/>');
container.html($compile(tplContent.trim())(scope));
$timeout(function ()
{
scope.tooltip = container.html();
});
});
}
//remove our direcive to avoid infinite loop
element.removeAttr('va-tooltip');
//compile element to attach tooltip binding
$compile(element)(scope);
if (angular.isDefined(attrs.tooltipUpdater))
{
scope.$watch(attrs.tooltipUpdater, function ()
{
loadTemplate();
});
} else
{
loadTemplate();
}
};
}
};
}]);
Thats how you call it
<a va-tooltip="'tooltipContent.html'" tooltip-updater="item" tooltip-placement="bottom">
<b><i>{{item.properties.length - propertyShowLimit + ' properties more...'}}</i></b>
</a>
And template can be like this:
<script id="tooltipContent.html" type="text/ng-template">
<span ng-repeat="prop in item.properties>
<b>{{prop.name}}</b>:
<span ng-repeat="val in prop.values">{{val.value}} </span>
<br />
</span>
</script>
There is now buit-in template functionality: https://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/#tooltip
Custom template
<script type="text/ng-template" id="myTooltipTemplate.html">
<span>Special Tooltip with <strong>markup</strong> and {{ dynamicTooltipText }}</span>
</script>
