Events In AngularJS

AngularJS includes certain directives which can be used to provide custom behavior on various DOM events, such as click, dblclick etc.

Let’s take a look at some of the important event directives of AngularJS.

ng-click

The ng-click directive is used to provide an event handler for click event.
  1. <!DOCTYPE html>  
  2. <html ng-app="mainApp">  
  3. <head>  
  4.     <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.4/angular.min.js"></script>  
  5.     <title></title>  
  6.     <meta charset="utf-8" />  
  7.     <script>  
  8.         var mainApp = angular.module("mainApp", []);  
  9.         mainApp.controller("appController", function ($scope) {  
  10.             $scope.btn_click = function(name){              
  11.                 alert(name);  
  12.             }                        
  13.         });   
  14.         </script>  
  15. </head>  
  16. <body ng-controller="appController">  
  17. Enter your name : <input type="text" ng-model="name" />  
  18.     <input type="button" value="click me" ng-click="btn_click(name)" />  
  19. </body>  
  20. </html>  

Output

Angular

ng-dblclick (Double Click)

The ng-dblclick directive is used to provide an event handler for a double-click event.

In this example, we will use the same example which we’ve used for ng-click. The only difference is that we are going to use ng-dblclick instead of using ng-click. It also means that the below code will only work if user hits double click.

  1. <!DOCTYPE html>  
  2. <html ng-app="mainApp">  
  3. <head>  
  4.     <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.4/angular.min.js"></script>  
  5.     <title></title>  
  6.     <meta charset="utf-8" />  
  7.     <script>  
  8.         var mainApp = angular.module("mainApp", []);  
  9.         mainApp.controller("appController", function ($scope) {  
  10.             $scope.dblbtn_click = function (name) {  
  11.                 alert(name);  
  12.             }                        
  13.         });   
  14.         </script>  
  15. </head>  
  16. <body ng-controller="appController">  
  17. Enter your name : <input type="text" ng-model="name" />  
  18.     <input type="button" value="click me" ng-dblclick="dblbtn_click(name)" />  
  19. </body>  
  20. </html>  

Output
Angular
ng-mouseenter and ng-mouseleave

In the below example, the ng-class directive includes map of the CSS classes, so GreenDiv will be applied if enter=true and RedDiv will applied if leave=false.

  1. <!DOCTYPE html>  
  2. <html>  
  3. <head>  
  4.     <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.16/angular.min.js"></script>  
  5.     <style>  
  6.         .GreenDiv {  
  7.             width: 100px;  
  8.             height: 100px;  
  9.             background-color: green;  
  10.             border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px;  
  11.             padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;  
  12.         }  
  13.   
  14.         .RedDiv {  
  15.             width: 100px;  
  16.             height: 100px;  
  17.             background-color: red;  
  18.             border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px;  
  19.             padding: 2px 2px 2px 2px;  
  20.         }  
  21.     </style>  
  22. </head>  
  23. <body ng-app>  
  24.     <div ng-class="{RedDiv: enter, GreenDiv: leave}" ng-mouseenter="enter=true;leave=false;" ng-mouseleave="leave=true;enter=false">  
  25.         Mouse <span ng-show="enter">Enter</span> <span ng-show="leave">Leave</span>  
  26.     </div>  
  27. </body>  
  28. </html>
