I have an ng-repeat which has a button that has a function that toggles an ng-show element inside that ng-repeat.
The inside the class movie_option
span has an ng-click=toggleInfo($index)
:
And the div additional_info
has an ng-show that shows or hides an element.
<ul ng-cloak="showResult">
<li class="search_results" ng-repeat="movie in movies | orderBy: '-release_date' track by $index">
<div class="movie_info">
<div class="movie_options">
<div class="slide">
<span class="movie_option">
<span><i class="fa fa-question-circle" aria-hidden="true" ng-click="toggleInfo($index)"></i></span>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="additional_info" ng-show="hiddenDiv[$index]">
{{movie.overview}}
</div>
</li>
</ul>
When a user clicks on the icon it calls this function:
$scope.toggleInfo = function (index) {
$scope.hiddenDiv[index] = !$scope.hiddenDiv[index];
}
This toggles the ng-show state from the hiddenDiv ng-show. This works fine.
What I wanted to do is put all hiddenDiv states on false except the one that is clicked so only one ng-show would be true.
That's a pure algorithm problem, not related to Angular.
Instead of having a boolean per item, it would be much simpler to just remember the element (index) that should be displayed:
<ul ng-cloak="showResult">
<li class="search_results" ng-repeat="movie in movies | orderBy: '-release_date' track by $index">
<div class="movie_info">
<div class="movie_options">
<div class="slide">
<span class="movie_option">
<span><i class="fa fa-question-circle" aria-hidden="true" ng-click="model.displayedIndex = $index"></i></span>
</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="additional_info" ng-show="$index === model.displayedIndex">
{{movie.overview}}
</div>
</li>
</ul>
And in your controller $scope.model = {}
