Here is snippet from my HTML code.
<div ng-repeat="boxName in boxNameList">
<div ng-class="myBoxes.{{boxName}}">{{boxName}}</div>
</div>
What I am trying to do: I have created 3 div elements which will be at the top of a screen using the above written snippet. Each div element will be given a shape of a box using css. A box(div) can have either red color as its background or black color as its background.
CSS for the two colors is:
.redBackground{
background-color: red;
}
.blackBackground{
background-color: black;
}
Here is a snippet from my controller:
$scope.boxNameList=['Box1','Box2','Box3'];
$scope.myBoxes={
Box1: "redBackground",
Box2: "blackBackground",
Box3: "blackBackground"
}
In this example I have made $scope.myBoxes
as a static Json but at runtime I plan to generate Json code so that I can dynamically assign background colors to my boxes.
Problem that I am facing: Well the problem is that I am not able to see the boxes with colors at all. The ng-class variable name in this case as you can see is also generated dynamically. If I do not use ng-repeat and do not dynamically generate ng-class variable name then it works fine. For e.g for the snippet given below when I dynamically change the value of the varibales myBoxes.Box1
myBoxes.Box2
and myBoxes.Box3
then it works perfectly.
<div ng-class="myBoxes.Box1">Box1</div>
<div ng-class="myBoxes.Box2">Box2</div>
<div ng-class="myBoxes.Box3">Box3</div>
However if I generate the ng-class variable dynamically "myBoxes.{{boxName}}"
then it doesn't behave like a variable. I am sure there would be a better way to achieve what I am trying to do however I was not able to find that after hours and hours of googling/trial and error. Would be glad if someone could help me.
