AngularJS and wijcheckbox

In this Angular getting started guide, you'll learn how to use the wijcheckbox in an HTML project using HTML markup, jQuery script, and AngularJS directives.

For more complex samples that have the controller and model in separate files, see the AngularJS Directive Gallery on our web site.

To create a new HTML page in your favorite text editor, add the following code and save the document with an .html extension. Notice that the <HTML> and <body> tags are different from our usual tags.
- The <HTML> tag is marked as an Angular app with the ng-app directive, in our script, we will specify that it uses Wijmo.
- The <body> tag is used to define the scope of the Angular controller that we create. You can use another tag such as a <div> for the scope, but for our purposes, we will use the entire body. The ng-controller directive specifies the controller to use within this scope.
Drop down and copy markup
Paste in your favorite text editor.
Copy Code

<!DOCTYPE HTML> <HTML ng-app="MyApp"> <head> </head> <body ng-controller="MyController"> </body> </HTML>

Paste in your favorite text editor.	Copy Code
<!DOCTYPE HTML> <HTML ng-app="MyApp"> <head> </head> <body ng-controller="MyController"> </body> </HTML>

Add links to the dependencies to your HTML page within the <head> tags. Find the latest dependencies in the content delivery network (CDN) file at wijmo cdn. Along with our usual references, we add two script references for Angular that must come after the jQuery references, so they are the last two lines:

One is for AngularJS itself.
The other is for Wijmo's Angular javascript integration library.

Within the <head> tags, below the references, add the following script to set the app to use Wijmo, and to create a simple controller with a $scope parameter to control data context.

Script	Copy Code
<script type="text/javascript"> var app = angular.module("MyApp", ["wijmo"]); function MyController($scope) { $scope.showHotel = false; $scope.showCar = false; $scope.showInsurance = false; $scope.tripClass = ""; $scope.setTripClass = function (tripClass) { $scope.tripClass = tripClass; }; $scope.toggleTripExtra = function (extra) { $scope[extra] = !$scope[extra]; }; } </script>

Script

<script type="text/javascript">
    var app = angular.module("MyApp", ["wijmo"]);
    function MyController($scope) {
        $scope.showHotel = false;
        $scope.showCar = false;
        $scope.showInsurance = false;
        $scope.tripClass = "";
        
        $scope.setTripClass = function (tripClass) {
            $scope.tripClass = tripClass;
        };
        $scope.toggleTripExtra = function (extra) {
            $scope[extra] = !$scope[extra];
        };
    }
</script>

Add the following markup within the <body> tags to create the widgets. To see how this is done in jQuery without Angular, see CheckBox Quick Start. Nested inside label elements, we use <input /> elements with wij-checkbox attributes as directives to create the widgets, and set the type attributes to checkbox.

Markup	Copy Code
<!-- radio buttons for flight class and checkboxes for extras --> <table> <tr> <td><b>Class</b></td> <td><b>Extras</b></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <label><input type="radio" wij-radio name="class" ng-click="setTripClass('economy')"/> Economy</label> <label><input type="radio" wij-radio name="class" ng-click="setTripClass('business')"/> Business</label> <label><input type="radio" wij-radio name="class" ng-click="setTripClass('first')"/> First</label> </td> <td> <label><input id1="flag1" type="checkbox" wij-checkbox ng-click="toggleTripExtra('showHotel')"/> Hotel</label> <label><input id1="flag2" type="checkbox" wij-checkbox ng-click="toggleTripExtra('showCar')"/> Car</label> <label><input id1="flag4" type="checkbox" wij-checkbox ng-click="toggleTripExtra('showInsurance')"/> Insurance</label> </td> </tr> </table> <p> <b>Class</b>: <span class="bound">{{tripClass}}</span> <br /> <b>Extras</b>: <span class="bound"> <span ng-show="showHotel">hotel</span> <span ng-show="showCar">car</span> <span ng-show="showInsurance">insurance</span> <span ng-show="!showHotel && !showCar && !showInsurance"> no extras selected </span> </span></p> <p>

Save your HTML file and open it in a browser. The markup appears like the following live widgets.

MISSING WIDGET TYPE: The "Live Widget" Widget Type could not be found. The "Live Widget" Widget Type may have been deleted since this Widget was created.
