AngularJS – How to create read more/less toggle using Directive?
In this post we will give you information about AngularJS – How to create read more/less toggle using Directive?. Hear we will give you detail about AngularJS – How to create read more/less toggle using Directive?And how to use it also give you demo for it if it is necessary.
Sometimes, We may require to make to show read more and read less functionality in our AngularJS application. We can make read more using AngularJS Directive.
So, In this example i going to give you full example of read more text example. I used “dd-text-collapse” Directive for after some text it will return “…” OR “(more)” etc that as you want. You can simply customize this Directive. You can also make toggle read more and read less using this Directive.
First, you can see bellow code of just Directive, i give you bellow code of Directive, you can use direct in your AngularJS application. so let’s see:
Directive:
app.directive('ddTextCollapse', ['$compile', function($compile) {
return {
restrict: 'A',
scope: true,
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
/* start collapsed */
scope.collapsed = false;
/* create the function to toggle the collapse */
scope.toggle = function() {
scope.collapsed = !scope.collapsed;
};
/* wait for changes on the text */
attrs.$observe('ddTextCollapseText', function(text) {
/* get the length from the attributes */
var maxLength = scope.$eval(attrs.ddTextCollapseMaxLength);
if (text.length > maxLength) {
/* split the text in two parts, the first always showing */
var firstPart = String(text).substring(0, maxLength);
var secondPart = String(text).substring(maxLength, text.length);
/* create some new html elements to hold the separate info */
var firstSpan = $compile('<span>' + firstPart + '</span>')(scope);
var secondSpan = $compile('<span ng-if="collapsed">' + secondPart + '</span>')(scope);
var moreIndicatorSpan = $compile('<span ng-if="!collapsed">... </span>')(scope);
var lineBreak = $compile('<br ng-if="collapsed">')(scope);
var toggleButton = $compile('<span ng-click="toggle()">{{collapsed ? "(less)" : "(more)"}}</span>')(scope);
/* remove the current contents of the element
and add the new ones we created */
element.empty();
element.append(firstSpan);
element.append(secondSpan);
element.append(moreIndicatorSpan);
element.append(lineBreak);
element.append(toggleButton);
}
else {
element.empty();
element.append(text);
}
});
}
};
}]);
Ok, now i will make full example of read more and read less toggle using above directive, so let’s see and also you can see demo.
