I have created a code to open and close all tabs of an accordion individually using separate 'open' and 'close' buttons. However, it requires me to dynamically add a key value pair (a Boolean value) to my JSON data.
What is the best approach in this scenario? Should I add the Boolean value as a static element in the JSON or is it acceptable to dynamically add values when they are purely for visual structure and not related to actual object data?
HTML/Angular directives
<div id="app" ng-app="demoApp">
<div id="controller" ng-controller="demoAppCtrl">
<uib-accordion close-others="false">
<div class="btn-group form-group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-warning" ng-click="toggle(true)">Open</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-warning" ng-click="toggle(false)">Close</button>
</div>
<uib-accordion-group is-open="hero.state" ng-click="setOpened(false)" ng-repeat="hero in heroes">
<uib-accordion-heading>
{{hero.name}}
</uib-accordion-heading>
{{hero.bio}}
</uib-accordion-group>
</uib-accordion>
</div>
</div>
Javascript/Angular
var app = angular.module('demoApp', ['ngAnimate','ui.bootstrap']);
app.controller('demoAppCtrl', function($scope) {
// This json object contain only one entry as an example
$scope.heroes = [
{'name': 'Captain America', 'team': 'Avengers', 'bio': 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vestibulum vitae metus placerat, condimentum nisl et, accumsan sapien. Quisque molestie magna nulla, id malesuada sem interdum a.'}
];
$scope.addDefaultState = function(val) {
for (var i=0;i<$scope.heroes.length;i++) {
$scope.heroes[i].state = val;
}
}
$scope.addDefaultState(false);
$scope.toggle = function(status) {
$scope.heroes.forEach(function(e) {
e.state = status;
});
}
});
