AngularJS and wijexpander

In this Angular getting started guide, you'll learn how to use the wijexpander 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) {} </script>
Add the following markup within the <body> tags to create the widget. To see how this is done in jQuery without Angular, see Quick Start.
- We use a <wij-wijexpander> directive to create the widget, and set several options as attributes within the element:
  - We set the contentUrl option (content-url directive) to specify the web page to display.
  - We set the expandDirection option (expand-direction directive) to display the content above the expander.
- We use nested elements in the markup to set the text and styles for the expander bar.
  - Inside our wij-expander directive, we nest the <h3> element with text to show in the expander.
  - We also nest a <div> element and use the style attribute to set the height of the expander bar.
Markup
Copy Code
<wij-expander content-url="http://www.wijmo.com" expand-direction="top" > <h3>wijmo.com</h3> <div style="height: 320px"> </div> </wij-expander>
Save your HTML file and open it in a browser. The widget appears like the following live widget.

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.
