I am working on an angular-bootstrap modal where I created a custom directive to automatically focus on the input field when opened. However, after adding the directive template to my input tag, I couldn't see it when inspecting the element. Here is the code:
Custom Directive (source: How to set focus on input field?)
'use strict';
angular.module('portfolioManager.directives', []).directive('focusMe', function($timeout, $parse) {
return {
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
var model = $parse(attrs.focusMe);
scope.$watch(model, function(value) {
console.log('value=',value);
if(value === true) {
$timeout(function() {
element[0].focus();
});
}
});
element.bind('blur', function() {
console.log('blur');
scope.$apply(model.assign(scope, false));
});
}
};
});
HTML Structure:
<div class='panel-heading report'>
<h1 class='port-title port-manager-header title custom-inline'>Portfolios</h1>
<div ng-controller="ModalCtrl" class='create-new-frame'>
<script type="text/ng-template" id="myModalContent.html">
<div class="modal-header">
<h3 class="modal-title">New Portfolio</h3>
</div>
<form name='eventForm'>
<div class="modal-body">
<input class='form-control' ng-model='portfolios.portName' placeholder='Portfolio name' ng-required='true' maxlength="35" focus-me="shouldBeOpen">
<span class="help-inline" ng-show="notUnique">Portfolio name already used</span>
<br>
<div ng-init="radioModel = 'Right'; portfolios.groupSelection = false" class="btn-group">
<label class="btn btn-primary" ng-model="radioModel" ng-click='portfolios.groupSelection = true' btn-radio="'Left'">Group</label>
<label class="btn btn-primary" ng-model="radioModel" ng-click='portfolios.groupSelection = false' btn-radio="'Right'">Private</label>
</div>
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button class="btn btn-primary" ng-click="ok(portfolios.portName)" ng-disabled="eventForm.$invalid || notUnique" id='portfolio-modal-create-button'>Create</button>
<button class="btn btn-warning" ng-click="cancel()">Cancel</button>
</div>
</form>
</script>
<button class="btn btn-sm btn-primary create-new-frame-btn" ng-click="open('sm')">Create New</button>
</div>
</div>
Controller for Modal:
'use strict';
angular.module('portfolioManager').controller('ModalCtrl', function ($scope, $modal, $log) {
$scope.items = ['item1', 'item2', 'item3'];
$scope.open = function (size) {
var modalInstance = $modal.open({
templateUrl: 'myModalContent.html',
controller: 'ModalInstanceCtrl',
size: size,
resolve: {
items: function () {
return $scope.items;
}
}
});
modalInstance.result.then(function (selectedItem) {
$scope.selected = selectedItem;
}, function () {
$log.info('Modal dismissed at: ' + new Date());
});
};
});
