i am trying to implement block-ui into our angular application on an element by element basis. (everything is included, referenced and injected correctly)
We have been trying to implement
block-ui-pattern
with no success.
our $http request is :-
$http.get('/user/123/GetUserAddress/').then(function (data) {
and our block-ui-pattern is :-
< div block-ui block-ui-pattern="/^user\/123\/GetUserAddress\$/">
{{address}}
</div>
This seems to match the documentation, but is failing to work. Am i missing something fundamental?
Our application exposes an isloading flag. initially set to true, and when the $http promise returns, sets this to false.. I realize that it is not in the documentation, however, Is there a way to set
< div block-ui="isloading"></div>
Post by Parash Gami pointed me in the right direction. I actually ended up writing a custom directive that wraps block-ui
var myBlocker = angular.module('app.Angular.Directive.myBlocker ', []);
myBlocker.directive('myBlocker ', ['$compile', function ($compile) {
return {
restrict: 'A',
scope :{
blockId: '@id',
block: '=',
},
controller: ['$scope', 'blockUI', function ($scope, blockUI) {
var myBlock = blockUI.instances.get($scope.blockId);
$scope.$watch('block', function (newValue, oldValue) {
if ($scope.block === true)
{
myBlock.start()
}
else {
myBlock.stop()
}
});
}],
link: function link(scope, element, attrs) {
element.attr('block-ui', scope.blockId);
element.attr('style', 'min-height:200px;');
element.removeAttr("my-blocker");
element.removeAttr("data-my-blocker");
$compile(element)(scope);
}
};
}]);
This allows me to now simply add the directive to an element
< div id="myId" my-blocker block="loading">
