I have a span
tag that looks like this:
<span ng-bind-html="item.Name | linky" ng-click="open(item)"></span>
within an ng-repeat.
I have a problem though, if item.Name
contains an email or link the linky filter changes the html and inserts an anchor tag. Now when I click the link the ng-click fires AND the anchor opens, but I only want the anchor to open and prevent ng-click from being called ...is this possible?
How about something like this for your html:
<span ng-bind-html="item.Name | linky" ng-click="open(item, $event)"></span>
And this for your function call:
$scope.open = function(item, event){
if(event.srcElement.tagName !== 'A'){
alert('do something here with ' + item.Name);
}
}
There may be a better way but I believe this will work. Although it's in the documentation I saw $event
in this group article.
How about using a directive!
app = angular.module("myModule", ["ngSanitize"])
.directive('linkyDir', function() {
return {
restrict: 'E',
replace: true,
scope: { item: '=' },
template: '<span ng-bind-html="item.Name | linky", ng-click="open(item)"></span>',
controller: function($scope, $element) {
$scope.open = function(item) {
if ($element[0].firstChild.tagName !== "A") {
console.log("Not an anchor");
}
else {
console.log("Is an anchor tag");
}
}
}
};
})
And with the restrict: 'E', you'll call it like this
<p ng-repeat="item in items">
<linky-dir item="item"></linky-dir>
</p>
I don't know if this will work but give it a try.
Add a parameter to your open function and pass this
as the pointer of current dom element.
<span ng-bind-html="item.Name | linky" ng-click="open(item,this)"></span>
now in your open function
EDITED CODE :
function open(item,this)
{
// will be true if linky had changed the HTML and added anchor tag
var children = this.childNodes;
for(a in children )
{
if(children[a].href)
{
return false;
}
}
//your existing code
.
.
.
}
so the method will be called but will return false if it is the anchor tag.
This might not be what you want but it will serve your purpose :)
