I have markup like this
<p>{{ !job.AdditionalNotes ? "No additional notes." : job.AdditionalNotes }}</p>
Would like to emphasis No Additional notes using something like.
<p>{{ !job.AdditionalNotes ? <em>"No additional notes."</em> : job.AdditionalNotes }}</p>
Is there a way to do this without using ng-if and ng-show to do this retaining the ternary operator?
I get this working in the following way (without ng-show or ng-if). I'm using ng-bind-html and $sce service to render the HTML. Since your "no additional notes" message is generic and common, we can easily define in the controller and get it from a method after sanitization.
var app = angular.module("sa", []);
app.controller("FooController", function($scope, $sce) {
$scope.jobs = [{
name: "Sr. Software Developer"
}, {
name: "Software Associates",
AdditionalNotes: "Remote location"
}, {
name: "Front-end developer"
}];
$scope.trust = function(text) {
return $sce.trustAsHtml(text);
};
$scope.noNotesMessage = function() {
return $scope.trust("<em>No additional notes.</em>")
}
});<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="sa" ng-controller="FooController">
<ol>
<li ng-repeat="job in jobs">
<strong>{{job.name}}</strong>
<p ng-bind-html="!job.AdditionalNotes ? noNotesMessage() : trust(job.AdditionalNotes)"></p>
</li>
</ol>
</div>Alternatively, you can write a directive:
var app = angular.module("sa", []);
app.controller("FooController", function($scope, $sce) {
$scope.jobs = [{
name: "Sr. Software Developer"
}, {
name: "Software Associates",
AdditionalNotes: "Remote location"
}, {
name: "Front-end developer"
}];
});
app.directive('notes', function() {
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: {
additional: '='
},
link: function($scope, element, attr) {
var html = "<p>" + ($scope.additional || "<em>No additional notes.</em>") + "</p>";
element.html(html);
}
}
});<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="sa" ng-controller="FooController">
<ol>
<li ng-repeat="job in jobs">
<strong>{{job.name}}</strong>
<notes additional="job.AdditionalNotes"></notes>
</li>
</ol>
</div>
ng-if would be much better than the additional $sce dependency. I am looking for some simpler way to escape the HTML tag inlineng-if?
