AngularJS and wijlightbox

In this Angular getting started guide, you'll learn how to use the wijlightbox 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 type="text/javascript"> var app = angular.module("MyApp", ["wijmo"]); function MyController($scope) {} </script>

<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 LightBox Quick Start.

We use a <wij-wijlightbox> directive to create the widget, and set several options as attributes within the element:
- We set the modal option to true.
- We set the controlsPosition option (controls-position directive) to "outside."
- We set the ctrlButtons option (ctrl-buttons directive) to show play and stop buttons.
- We set the dialogButtons option (dialog-buttons directive) to show close and full size buttons.
- We set the style attribute to control the width of the lightbox.
We use nested elements in the markup to set the image, title, and alternate text for the lightbox.
- Inside our axis directive, we nest the x and y axes, and set some options.
- We set the fill attribute of the chart-label-style directive to white so the bubble text shows more clearly.
- We set the header text to show the title for the chart.
- We set the visible attribute of the legend directive to false to hide the legend.
- Inside our series-list directive, we nest a data directive with nested x, y, and y1 options that bind to the data fields in the model.

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