Want to set focus on input field in Angular? Define a directive and have it $watch a property/trigger so it knows when to focus the element:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 | app.directive('focusMe', ['$timeout', '$parse', function ($timeout, $parse) { return { //scope: true, // optionally create a child scope link: function (scope, element, attrs) { var model = $parse(attrs.focusMe); scope.$watch(model, function (value) { console.log('value=', value); if (value === true) { $timeout(function () { element[0].focus(); }); } }); // to address @blesh's comment, set attribute value to 'false' // on blur event: element.bind('blur', function () { console.log('blur'); scope.$apply(model.assign(scope, false)); }); } }; }]); |
1 | Name: <input type="text" focus-me="shouldBeOpen"> |
