I'm quite new to javascript in general. I've spent the past couple of weeks building a front end with Angular.js.
I have a number of directives I've defined that sit on my page, Angular has been great for this.
Here's what my main page looks like:
<body class="body" ng-controller="OverviewController as overview" font-size:1em>
<sidebar-menu ng-controller="PanelController as panel"></sidebar-menu>
<div id="content" >
<div>
<div class="list-group">
<div class="list-group-item" ng-repeat="site in overview.sites" ng-click="">
<div class="item-heading">
<h3>{{site.name}}</h3>
<p>Address: {{site.address}}</p>
<a href="#" class="paulund_modal">Click Here</a>
</div>
<installationsite-panels ng-controller="PanelController as panel"></installationsite-panels>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('.paulund_modal').paulund_modal_box();
});
</script>
</body>
Note the javascript function to call a modal box at the bottom, using this tutorial.
I've spent the past few days trying different tutorials to get modals to work in my webapp, but with no success. I think it's down to my lack of understanding of Angular and Javascript in general.
In any case, I've managed to get this tutorial to work using JQuery, and when I click on the link, the modal opens as expected.
However, I don't want to call this modal from here. I want to call it from a directive that's embedded within the <installationsite-panels>
directive in the above code, which looks like this (just a single section shown here):
Device Statuses
<div>
<div class="device-icon-group">
<div class="device-type1-icons" ng-click="panel.showDevices(3)" ng-show="showtype1Red"><img src="img/type1red.png" style="width:50%; height:50%;"/></div>
<div class="device-type2-icons" ng-click="panel.showDevices(3)" ng-show="showType2Red"><img src="img/type2red.png" style="width:50%; height:50%;" /></div>
</div>
<div class="service" ng-click="panel.showDevices(3)" ng-show="showService">
<b>{{panel.getServiceDeviceCount()}} device needs servicing</b>
</div>
<div ng-show="showServiceList">
<device-list-service></device-list-service>
</div>
</div>
The directive <device-list-service>
shows a list of items like so:
<div ng-controller="DevicesController as deviceList" font-size:1em >
<div id="device-list-group">
<div id="device-list-group-item" ng-click="" ng-repeat="device in deviceList.devicesService">
<div ng-class="device.status"><img src="{{(device.type == 'type1') ? 'img/type1white.png' : 'img/type2white.png'}}"> </div>
<div class="device-params">
<b>ID: </b> {{device.id}}<br />
<b>Type: </b> {{device.type}}
</div>
<div class="device-params">
<b>Location: </b> {{device.location}}<br />
<b>Action: </b> {{device.action}} <br />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I want to show the modal when the user clicks on one of the list-group-item
's, and display some data relating to that item.
The modal works fine from the top level in the main app, but I cannot call it from within any of the directives. How can I do this?
Is it possible, or do I need to scrap my JQuery modal and do it the Angular way, which hasn't worked for me for the past few attempts.
