angular-editme

Convert your AngularJS input and textarea elements to be edited inline ala LinkedIn profiles.

Demo

Check out a working example on the demo page.

Installation

• npm install angular-editme or
• bower install angular-editme or
• jspm install npm:angular-editme or
• Download and add to your html file

Usage

Add the shaka-editme module as a dependency to your Angular app's main module:

Installed with global:

angular.module('app', ['shaka-editme']);

Installed with npm:

let angular = require('angular');
angular.module('app', [require('angular-editme')]);

Installed with jspm:

import editme from 'angular-editme';
angular.module('app', [editme]);

Basic example

To convert an existing input element into an editable element wrap it with the <sk-editme> directive.

<form name="demo">
  ...
  <sk-editme>
    <input type="text" name="location" ng-model="locale" ng-required="true">
  </sk-editme>
 
  <sk-editme>
    <textarea name="description" ng-model="body" ng-required="true"></textarea>
  </sk-editme>
</form>

The <sk-editme> directive has the following requirements:

• It must wrap a single <textarea> or <input type="text|url|date|email|week|month|number|time"> element.
• The element wrapped element must have a valid ng-model attirbute.

Handling invalid input

An editable field in edit-state will remain so until a user enters a valid value. If a user enters an invalid or empty value the field will remain in the edit-state until a valid value is entered. The validity of the field is governed by the ngModel validators of the wrapped element.

Example:

Will validate user has entered valid email before exiting edit-state.

<sk-editme>
  <input type="email" name="email" ng-model="email" ng-required="true">
</sk-editme>

Will validate user has entered only numbers before exiting edit-state.

<sk-editme>
  <input type="text" ng-model="number" name="number" ng-pattern="/\d+/" />
</sk-editme>

Interacting with directive from your Controller

Given markup styled with Bootstrap we can add the has-error class to the form-group element when the edmitme directive is invalid, and then remove it when the directive is valid.

-->
<div ng-controller="DemoController as demo">
  <div class="form-group" ng-class="{'has-error': demo.isInvalid}">
    <label>Email</label>
    <sk-editme on-change="demo.onChange($value)" on-invalid="demo.onInvalid($error)">
      <input type="email" name="email" ng-model="demo.email">
    </sk-editme>
  </div>
</div>

demo.controller.js

.controller('DemoController', function(userService) {
  let vm = this;
 
  vm.email = '[e-mail]';
  vm.isInvalid = false;
 
  /**
   * The value arg will be the current valid value from the input.
   * (same as vm.email in this case)
   */
  vm.onChange = (value) => {
    vm.isInvalid = false;
    userService.saveEmail(value);
  };
 
  /**
   * The $error arg will be the input's ngModel $error object
   * See $error in https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/type/form.FormController
   */
  vm.onInvalid = ($error) => {
    vm.isInvalid = true;
  };
})
