I am developing inbox for messages with AngularJs, and I came across one issue: I want to show only last element within ng-repeat
. I did some research, and found out that the code below should work.
<div class="inbox" ng-repeat="recipient in messages">
<ul>
<div>
<span> {{recipient.$id}} <br> </span>
<li class="inboxItem">
<span ng-repeat="messages in recipient"> {{messages.sender}} {{messages.message}} <br></span>
</li>
</div>
</ul>
</div>
However, it does not. Can you guys tell me what am I doing wrong? I thought that array.length-1
should limit ng-repeat to show only the last object in an array.
Thanks!
use angularjs $last
in ng-repeat
. here is the doc
<div ng-repeat="n in data track by $index">
<span ng-show="$last">{{n}}</span>
</div>
<span ng-show="$last">{{n}}</span>
when its last repeat $last
will be true
otherwise its false
so you can use ng-show
or ng-if
with $last
.
here is a sample demo
UPDATE
I think no need of ng-repeat there since you need to show the last element of the array (this is same as @Michael P. Bazos's answer), to do that:
$scope.data = [42, 42, 43, 43, 50];
print the last value as : {{ data[data.length-1] }}
here is the demo
but if you really need to do with ng-repeat do as this
[data[data.length-1]]
create an array only with last element.
<div ng-repeat="n in [data[data.length-1]] track by $index">
<span>{{n}}</span>
</div>
demo
You could use limitTo
filter with -1
Example :
<div ng-repeat="friend in friends | limitTo: -1">
{{friend.name}}
</div>
See fiddle
But if you are showing only one element, maybe you want to get rid of the ng-repeat
... :
<div>
{{friends[friends.length - 1].name}}
</div>
Something like this should work.
<div ng-repeat="something in vm.somethings">
<span ng-show="$last">{{ something.value }}</span>
</div>
