My current approach involves using AngularJS directives for Bootstrap in order to create an edit form on a Bootstrap modal when the user clicks on the edit button from a list of items. Here is the code I have implemented:
HTML:
<div class="modal-header">
<h3>Edit Template</h3>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
<form name="form" class="form-horizontal" novalidate>
<fieldset>
<div class="span4" ng-class="smClass" ng-show="etemplate.status">{{etemplate.status}}</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="etemplateName">Name</label>
<div class="controls">
<input class="input-xlarge" id="etemplateName" ng-model="eTemplate.name" maxlength="150" type="text" required />
</div>
</div>
<div class="control-group">
<label class="control-label" for="etemplateDesc">Description</label>
<div class="controls">
<textarea id="templateDesc" id="etemplateDesc" ng-model="eTemplate.desc"></textarea>
</div>
</div>
<div class="center">
<input type="text" style="display:none;" ng-model="eTemplate.id" value="{{eTemplate.id}}" required />
<button type="button" ng-click="update(eTemplate)" class="btn btn-primary" ng-disabled="form.$invalid || isUnchanged(eTemplate)">Submit</button>
<button class="btn" ng-click="cancel()">Cancel</button>
</div>
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>Controller:
controller('TemplateController', ['$scope', '$http', '$modal', function($scope, $http, $modal) {
var tmpId = '';
$scope.openEdit = function(id) {
tmpId = id;
var editTmpModalInstance = $modal.open({
templateUrl: 'editTemplateContent.html',
controller: 'ETModalInstance'
});
$http({
method: 'GET',
url: adminBaseUrl+'/get_template/',
params: {'id': tmpId}
}).
success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
$scope.$broadcast('EditTemplateDataReached', data);
}).
error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
});
}
}]).
controller('ETModalInstance', ['$scope', '$http', '$modalInstance', function($scope, $http, $modalInstance) {
$scope.emaster = {};
$scope.smClass = '';
$scope.eTemplate = {};
$scope.$on('EditTemplateDataReached', function(data) {
$scope.eTemplate = data;
$scope.$apply();
});
$scope.isUnchanged = function(eTemplate) {
return angular.equals(eTemplate, $scope.master);
};
$scope.cancel = function () {
$modalInstance.dismiss('cancel');
};
$scope.update = function(eTemplate) {
var strng = $.param(eTemplate);
};
}]).
When a user clicks on the edit button, the ID of the selected item is passed to the controller which then sends an AJAX request to the server to populate the fields with the respective values. However, I am facing an issue where the fields do not get populated when the AJAX data is returned.
