3 ANGULARJS instructions to improve the user experience

This article mainly introduces 3 ANGULARJS instructions that can improve the user experience, Angularjs is a highly popular JavaScript framework, the need for friends can refer to the

1. Avatar Picture

To display avatar images in your application, you need to use the user's e-mail address, convert the address to lowercase, and encrypt the string using MD5. So the smart thing to do is to use instructions to do this and to reuse it.

/*
 * A simple Gravatar Directive
 * @example
 *  <gravatar-image email="test@email.com" size="50"></gravatar-image>
 */
app.directive('gravatarImage', function () {
 return {
  restrict: 'AE',
  replace: true,
  required: 'email',
  template: '<img ng-src="https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/{{hash}}?s={{size}}&d=identicon" />',
  link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
   attrs.$observe('email', function (value) {
    if(!value) { return; }

    scope.hash = md5(value.toLowerCase());
    scope.size = attrs.size;
  
    if(angular.isUndefined(scope.size)) {
     scope.size = 60; // default to 60 pixels
    }
   });
  }
 };
});

2. Focus on Me

This is actually a very short instruction, but it's great. In the following example, the user clicks on a link that displays the input box that needs to be able to automatically get focus. This way, the user does not have to manually click the Text field when the page is displayed.

/**
 * Sets focus to this element if the value of focus-me is true.
 * @example
 * <a ng-click="addName=true">add name</a>
 * <input ng-show="addName" type="text" ng-model="name" focus-me="{{addName}}" />
 */
app.directive('focusMe', ['$timeout', function($timeout) {
 return {
  scope: { trigger: '@focusMe' },
  link: function(scope, element) {
   scope.$watch('trigger', function(value) {
    if(value === "true") {
     $timeout(function() {
      element[0].focus();
     });
    }
   });
  }
 };
}]);

3.Contenteditable element Model Binding

The main reason we use contenteditable instead of TEXTAREA elements is that there are no restrictions on the layout and the UI using the former. We use this instruction in the editor to implement a two-way binding of the HTML and Ng-model of the contenteditable element. Currently, Ng-model is not supported in the contenteditable element.

/**
 * Two-way data binding for contenteditable elements with ng-model.
 * @example
 *  <p contenteditable="true" ng-model="text"></p>
 */
app.directive('contenteditable', function() {
 return {
  require: '?ngModel',
  link: function(scope, element, attrs, ctrl) {
  
   // Do nothing if this is not bound to a model
   if (!ctrl) { return; }
  
   // Checks for updates (input or pressing ENTER)
   // view -> model
   element.bind('input enterKey', function() {
    var rerender = false;
    var html = element.html();
  
    if (attrs.noLineBreaks) {
     html = html.replace(/<div>/g, '').replace(/<br>/g, '').replace(/<\/div>/g, '');
     rerender = true;
    }
  
    scope.$apply(function() {
     ctrl.$setViewValue(html);
     if(rerender) {
      ctrl.$render();
     }
    });
   });
  
   element.keyup(function(e){
    if(e.keyCode === 13){
     element.trigger('enterKey');
    }
   });
  
   // model -> view
   ctrl.$render = function() {
    element.html(ctrl.$viewValue);
   };
  
   // load init value from DOM
   ctrl.$render();
  }
 };
});

Conclusion: ANGULARJS directives can be used to improve the user experience

I hope that after the introduction of the article, you will be aware of the ANGULARJS instructions useful.

To me, instruction is the most exciting feature of Angularjs. Creating reusable components and adding them to a pure HTML Application library is incredible and powerful. Because the instructions are practical and most of the instructions are difficult to write, many developers have already developed many directives for the currently popular libraries. For example, the ANGULARJS team has created a series of instructions for Bootstrap (does anyone need it?), called UI Bootstrap.
