I'm new to Angular but I'm trying to implement a textbox that allows users to enter in links. I only want to support links, and otherwise I want to block all html from being presented as such. I could theoretically use something other than a textarea, but my requirements are that it must be bound to a variable in my scope (right now with ng-model) and I cannot accept html tags other than '< a >'
Here is my example plnkr
In the example, I would like the second seeded item to display as a link, blue and underlined. However, the third item should display as it is currently shown (without interpreting it as html).
HTML:
<textarea maxlength="160" ng-model="val.text"></textarea>
<div class="btn" ng-click="submit()">Submit</div>
<br><br>
<div ng-repeat="item in items">
{{display(item)}}
</div>
JS:
$scope.submit = function() {
if (!$scope.val.text) return
$scope.items.push($scope.val.text);
}
$scope.display = function(txt) {
return txt;
// something here? if txt contains <a> and </a> indicate
// that we should display as html
}

I am appending several buttons into an html span tag every time I type on different inputs.
<span id="pill_filters>
<button id="filterCreated">Filter name here</button>
<button id="filterCreated2">Filter name here</button>
</span>
I also wanna show a label whenever there are buttons inside of this span tag and if they aren't, I wanna hide said label.
<label id="label_sc">Search Criteria:</label>
So far my jquery is
function showSCLabel(){
if ($("#pill_filters").html.is(':empty')){
$("#label_sc").addClass("d-none");
}else{
$("#label_sc").removeClass("d-none");
}
}
But it doesnt seem to work. The label already has "d-none" class since the beginning and even with that, it is still showing. What am I doing wrong? is this not how the :empty state works? what can I use instead? I'll appreciate a lot your help!
if statement is missing ()
.html.is is invalid jQuery
Use:
if ( $("#pill_filters").is(':empty') ) {
Answer without jQuery:
//span
const span=document.getElementById("pill_filters");
//label
const label=document.getElementById("label-sc");
span.addEventListener('DOMSubtreeModified',function(){
//if innerHTML is not ""
if(span.innerHTML){
//show label
label.style.display="block";
}else{
//hide label
label.style.display="none";
};
};
how to highlight only the words which are invalid in input given by a user where i can make my custom invalid check function.
e.g
hello this is very good and very nice.
suppose this is the input by the user and suppose i want to highlight "very" and "this" or any other custom word.
I have tried putting html tag inside value but html does not parses inside value attribute of input tag.
Try using variable.split() in reading the input. Store it in array using loop and check for errors and highlight
You cannot simply put html tags in input. To enable "rich text" capabilities, you'll have to use the contenteditable HTML attribute, like so...
const words = [/(very)/gi, /(nice)/gi]
const highlightInput = () => {
const richInput = document.getElementById('rich-input')
let text = richInput.innerText
words.forEach(x => {
text = text.replace(x, '<span class="highlighted">$1</span>')
})
richInput.innerHTML = text
}
document.getElementById('highlight').addEventListener('click', highlightInput)
#rich-input{
border:1px solid #000;
padding: 5px;
}
.highlighted{
color:red;
text-decoration:underline;
}
<div>
<input type="button" value="Highlight!" id="highlight" />
</div>
<label>Enter your text below:</label>
<div id="rich-input" contenteditable="true">Hello this is very good and very nice</div>
first am sorry for bad English / grammar
am creating something where you show and hide.
but my problem is that when I click show/hide it only brings input box 1 on both buttons. and I want it to show/hide each box.
my problem is that. I don't want to use the id to define show/hide Element
because if I have more than 10 div with input boxes I have to define them all by getElementById I don't want that.
I want when I click on the show/hide it brings input box without getElementById
so that even if I have more then 10 input box to show I only click and show/hide without defining its id
function myFunction(event) {
var x = document.getElementById("mydv");
if (x.style.display === "none") {
x.style.display = "block";
} else {
x.style.display = "none";
}
x.parentNode.insertBefore(x, event.target.nextSibling);
}
document.addEventListener('click', function(event){
if(event.target.className.includes("dv1")){
myFunction(event);
}
});
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title> SHOW / Hide </title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<li>
<div id="mydv" style="display:none;">
<p>input box 1
<input type="text" name="textfield">
</p>
</div>
<button class="dv1">SHOW/HIDE</button>
</li>
<li><div id="mydv" style="display:none;">
<p>input box 2
<input type="text" name="textfield">

<button class="dv1">SHOW/HIDE</button></li>

If you want to specify an element on a page, that can be similar in every way to other elements except perhaps text content or something else, realistically you need an id, as this is how JavaScript defines a unique element.
But what you can do, is change your HTML button, to contain a rel, which is an attribute, and then get that attribute and use that to specify which element id you're looking for.
You can then call a function and simply pass "this" as an argument.
HTML :
<button onclick="hideShow(this)" rel="mydv">Show/Hide</button>
JavaScript :
<script>
function hideShow(elem){
var ele = document.getElementById(elem.getAttribute("rel"));
if(ele.style.display == "none"){
ele.style.display = "block";
}
else{
ele.style.display = "none";
}
}
</script>
If you are absolutely abhorrent to using ID's, you can use child nodes and specify which child by number, but this means if ever you change anything, you will break your code, which is foolish. I recommend using unique ID's and simply changing your code in the above ways.
Short and lazy answer to your problems - if you are going to keep your current hierarchy, you can simply find DIV tag inside your LI parentNode (since its the only DIV tag).
Basically it goes like this - button press -> change focus from button to parentNode LI -> finds DIV.
in short - in function myFunction(event) change
var x = document.getElementById("mydv");
to
var x = event.target.parentNode.getElementsByTagName("DIV")[0];
Working example:
https://jsfiddle.net/w2a9zg46/1/
The problem is that getElementById refers to the first element with that id. It simply ignores everything else. Using the same id for more than one element is a bad practice. An id should be a unique reference to that element, use class instead.
Is it possible to style the value in the attribute ngModel of an input tag?
Example:
<input class="input" type="text" [(ngModel)] = "myService.text">
Let's say the value of text is '28 packages', can I put 28 in bold?
So if i understand correctly you want to have it bold whenever the value is 28 ?
yes its possible you can use a ng-class with a ternary expression like this
.bold{
font-weight:600;
}
<input type="text" ng-class="myService.text == '28 ? 'bold' : '''" class="input" ng-model="myService.text" />
This is not angular-related rather a CSS related question.
You cannot style only a part of an input in HTML/CSS so you won't be able to do it in angular.
Instead, you can use an input that is hidden behind a div. The idea is that when the user clicks the div, you actually focus the input. When the user types text, you capture the content of the input and fill the div with it, eventually adding <span class"highlight"> around the number of packages.
I prepared you a stackblitz in pure CSS/JS. You can adapt it in angular if you want.
Relevant pieces of code :
HTML :
<span id="hiddenSpan">This is the hidden div. Click it and start typing</span>
<div>
<label for="in">The real input</label>
<input id="in" type="text">
</div>
JS :
const input = document.getElementById('in')
const hiddenSpan = document.getElementById('hiddenSpan')
function onInputChanged() {
let text = input.value
const regex = new RegExp('(\\d+) packages')
let result = regex.exec(text)
if(result) {
hiddenSpan.innerHTML = '<span class="highlight">'+result[1]+'</span> packages'
} else {
hiddenSpan.innerHTML = text
}
}
// Capture keystrokes.
input.addEventListener('keyup', onInputChanged)
// Focus the input when the user clicks the pink div.
hiddenSpan.addEventListener('click', function() {
input.focus()
})
CSS :
#hiddenSpan {
background-color: pink;
}
.highlight {
font-weight: bold;
background-color: greenyellow;
}
Note : the downside is that the blinking caret is not visible anymore. You can take a look at this resource if you want to simulate one.
It is not possible to style certain parts of a text <input> field in bold. However, you can use a contenteditable div instead of a text <input> field. Inside the contenteditable div you can have other HTML tags like <strong> to style certain parts of the text however you like.
I created an Angular directive called contenteditableModel (check out the StackBlitz demo here) and you can use it to perform 2-way binding on a contenteditable element like this:
<div class="input" contenteditable [(contenteditableModel)]="myService.text"></div>
The directive uses regular expressions to automatically check for numbers in the inputted text, and surrounds them in a <strong> tag to make them bold. For example, if you input "28 packages", the innerHTML of the div will be formatted like this (to make "28" bolded):
<strong>28</strong> packages
This is the code used in the directive to perform the formatting:
var inputElement = this.elementRef.nativeElement;
inputElement.innerHTML = inputElement.textContent.replace(/(\d+)/g, "<strong>$1</strong>");
this.change.emit(inputElement.textContent);
You can change the <strong> tag to something else (e.g. <span style="text-decoration: underline"> if you want the text to be underlined instead of bolded).
When performing the formatting, there is an issue where the user's text cursor position will be unexpectedly reset back to the beginning of the contenteditable div. To fix this, I used 2 functions (getOriginalCaretPosition and restoreCaretPosition) to store the user's original cursor position and then restore the position back after the text formatting is performed. These 2 functions are kind of complex and they're not entirely relevant to the OP's question so I will not go into much detail about them here. You can PM me if you want to learn more about them.
So I'm working with Angular and I'm trying to make a button that when clicked disappears. I have tried to use [hidden], (click)="showHide = !showHide", and a bunch of other methods. Nothing is working so far.
My html (currently):
<div class="rows">
<div class="a-bunch-of-styles-for-my-button">
<a type="button" class="more-styles" (click)="inboundClick = !inboundClick" [routerLink]="['/inbound']" href="">
</a>
</div>
</div>
and my component:
export class AppComponent {
inboundClick = false;
}
In essence I have 2 buttons on a page and when one button is clicked I want to hide both buttons and display a set of new buttons.
I'm very new to Angular and I'm very confused why this won't work.
Your HTML
<div class="yourCssClass" *ngIf="this.isButtonVisible" (click)="this.isButtonVisible = false">
...
</div>
Your TypeScript
export class AppComponent {
private isButtonVisible = true;
}
This should do the job. *ngIf automatically hides the element, if the condition evaluates false, so setting the variable to false is sufficient.
The problem I see here is, that you don't control the visibility at any point. Using [ngClass] to add a specific class, if a condition is met, or *ngIf is helpful, whenever you try to change elements on user interaction.
For more information on [ngClass], you can read about its usage here: https://angular.io/api/common/NgClass
You can read about *ngIf here: https://angular.io/api/common/NgIf
Especially the "Common Use" part should be interesting for you.
Edit:
Reading your comment below it seems you did not notice what [hidden] and (click) actually do. [hidden] controls the visibility of the element, usually dependent on a certain condition. (click) however is a quick way to bind a Click-Event to your element.
Using both of those tools enables to hide an element, by changing a variable, if a user clicks on your element (the new value of the variable may be assigned by a function called by (click) or inline, as demonstrated in the example code).
Edit2: Yep, you meant Angular2/4 ;) So this should do the job.
Here is how you can achieve that:
In your component.html:
<a type="button" class="more-styles"
[hidden]="!inboundClick"
(click)="inboundClick = !inboundClick"
[routerLink]="['/inbound']" href="">
</a>
<a type="button" class="more-styles"
[hidden]="!outboundClick "
(click)="outboundClick = !outboundClick "
[routerLink]="['/outbound']" href="">
</a>
... and in your AppComponent:
export class AppComponent {
inboundClick = true;
outboundClick = true;
}
PLUNKER DEMO
Here is a neat way to hide/remove items, specially handy if there is a list of items.
Note how it takes advantage of Angular's template variables (#ListItem).
So your template can either be something like:
<a type="button" #ButtonA
(click)="onClick(ButtonA)"
[routerLink]="['/inbound']" href="">
</a>
<a type="button" #ButtonB
(click)="onClick(ButtonB)"
[routerLink]="['/outbound']" href="">
</a>
Or like this:
<ng-container *ngFor="let item of list">
<div #ListItem>
<button (click)="onClick(ListItem)">
</div>
</ng-container>
Depending on how you want to hide - if you want to remove it from DOM, or just hide it with CSS. And depending if you want to toggle it or just remove it completely. There are a few options:
Remove element from DOM (no way to get it back):
close(e: HTMLElement) {
e.remove();
}
Hiding it with the hidden attribute - beware that the hidden attribute can be overriden by CSS, it will happen if you are changing the display property and the rule has more precedence:
close(e: HTMLElement) {
e.toggleAttribute('hidden');
}
Hiding it "manually" with CSS:
close(e: HTMLElement) {
e.classList.toggle('hide-element');
}
.hide-element {
display: none;
}
