How do we highlight and select all content inside a element on click using Angular JS ?. It is easy to do using inputbox. But how do we do for element.
Help would be appreciated.
Thank you
This is what I have used so far.
HTML
<div ng-controller="appController" ng-app="app">
<input type="text" ng-model="content" ng-click="onTextClick($event)" />
</div>
JS
var app = angular.module('app', []);
app.controller('appController',
function ($scope) {
$scope.content = 'test';
$scope.onTextClick = function ($event) {
$event.target.select();
};
});

Here is an updated directive to achieve it:
.directive('selectOnClick', function ($window) {
return {
link: function (scope, element) {
element.on('click', function () {
var selection = $window.getSelection();
var range = document.createRange();
range.selectNodeContents(element[0]);
selection.removeAllRanges();
selection.addRange(range);
});
}
}
});
Your markup:
<div select-on-click>
Some text...
<input type="text" ng-model="content" />
</div>
