I managed to integrate jQuery MixItUp into my AngularJs app.
The items that should be displayed with MixItUp are loaded from custom services. Once all items are fetched, i trigger instantiation of jQuery MixItUp.
I'm also using AngularJS NgRoute to implement different pages.
When i first visit the page where jQuery MixItUp is used everything is fine. But when i then go to another page and back to the page with jQuery MixItUp, the filters and sorting aren't working anymore.
I setup my routes like this:
myApp
.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$routeProvider
// some routes for other pages
.when('/', {
templateUrl : '/assets/js/app/views/home.html',
controller : 'MainController'
})
.when('/about', {
templateUrl : '/assets/js/app/views/about.html',
controller : 'AboutController'
})
// route for page where MixItUp is used
.when('/media', {
templateUrl : '/assets/js/app/views/media.html',
controller : 'MediaController'
})
// 404
.otherwise({
redirectTo : '/404'
})
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
});
In my custom directive i init jQuery MixItUp with some options and fix sorting after init. The console.log
are logging to console everytime i visit or revisit the page. But on revisit the functionality of filters and sorting are broken.
The custom directive looks like this:
myApp
.directive('mixitup', function($compile) {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
scope.$on('init-mixitup', function(event) {
console.log('[event] înit-mixitup');
angular.element(element).mixItUp({
animation: {
duration: 200
},
load: {
sort: 'myorder:desc'
},
debug: {
enable: true,
mode: 'normal'
}
});
});
scope.$on('resort-mixitup', function(event, sortCommand) {
console.log('[event] resort-mixitup');
angular.element(element).mixItUp('sort', sortCommand);
});
}
};
});
In my AngularJS Controller (MediaController) i broadcast the events once all items are fetched from custom services:
// init
$rootScope.$broadcast('init-mixitup');
// sort
$rootScope.$broadcast('resort-mixitup', 'myorder:desc');
The view HTML looks like this:
<div class="btn-group controls">
<button class="btn btn-lg filter"
data-filter="all">All</button>
<button class="btn btn-lg filter"
data-filter=".photo">Photo</button>
<button class="btn btn-lg filter"
data-filter=".audio">Audio</button>
<button class="btn btn-lg filter"
data-filter=".video">Video</button>
</div>
<div mixItUp="mixItUp" id="mixitup-container">
<div ng-repeat="item in items"
id="{{ item.id }}"
style="display: inline-block;"
data-myorder="{{ item.date }}"
class="mix col-xs-6 col-sm-4 {{ item.category }}">
<img ng-src="{{ item.image }}" class="img-responsive img-circle">
</div>
</div>
The Javascript console in chrome outputs the following on first page load:
[event] înit-mixitup
[MixItUp][mixitup-container][_bindHandlers] 4 filter buttons found.
[MixItUp][mixitup-container][_init] MixItUp instantiated on container with ID "mixitup-container".
[MixItUp][mixitup-container][_init] There are currently 1 instances of MixItUp in the document.
[event] resort-mixitup
[MixItUp][mixitup-container][multiMix] Operation requested via the API.
[MixItUp][mixitup-container][multiMix] An operation was requested but MixItUp was busy. The operation was added to the queue in position 1.
[MixItUp][mixitup-container][multiMix] Loading operation from queue. There are 0 operations left in the queue.
[MixItUp][mixitup-container][multiMix] Operation requested via the API.
[MixItUp][mixitup-container][multiMix] Operation started.
[MixItUp][mixitup-container][_cleanUp] Loading animation completed successfully.
[MixItUp][mixitup-container][_cleanUp] The operation completed successfully.
And on second page load (after moving to other pages, without browser reload):
[event] înit-mixitup
[event] resort-mixitup
[MixItUp][mixitup-container][multiMix] Operation requested via the API.
[MixItUp][mixitup-container][multiMix] Operation started.
There is another question relating this issue here: How to initiate MixItUp with AngularJS NgRoute But there the items aren't loaded dynamically via custom services.
