AngularJS ng-class if-else expression

People also ask

How do you apply ngClass based on condition?

To add a conditional class in Angular we can pass an object to ngClass where key is the class name and value is condition i.e., true or false as shown below. And in the above code, class name will be added only when the condition is true.

What is ngClass in Angular JS?

AngularJS ng-class Directive The ng-class directive dynamically binds one or more CSS classes to an HTML element. The value of the ng-class directive can be a string, an object, or an array. If it is a string, it should contain one or more, space-separated class names.

Why do we use ngClass?

The ngClass directive allows you to dynamically set CSS classes on an HTML element by databinding an expression that represents all classes to be added.

Can I use both class and ngClass?

You can use both class and ngClass as the first one gives you the opportunity to apply a class that you want to implement in all cases under any circumstances and the later to apply classes conditionally.


Use nested inline if-then statements (Ternary Operators)

<div ng-class=" ... ? 'class-1' : ( ... ? 'class-2' : 'class-3')">

for example :

<div ng-class="apt.name.length >= 15 ? 'col-md-12' : (apt.name.length >= 10 ? 'col-md-6' : 'col-md-4')">
    ...
</div>

And make sure it's readable by your colleagues :)


you could try by using a function like that :

<div ng-class='whatClassIsIt(call.State)'>

Then put your logic in the function itself :

    $scope.whatClassIsIt= function(someValue){
     if(someValue=="first")
            return "ClassA"
     else if(someValue=="second")
         return "ClassB";
     else
         return "ClassC";
    }

I made a fiddle with an example : http://jsfiddle.net/DotDotDot/nMk6M/


I had a situation where I needed two 'if' statements that could both go true and an 'else' or default if neither were true, not sure if this is an improvement on Jossef's answer but it seemed cleaner to me:

ng-class="{'class-one' : value.one , 'class-two' : value.two}" class="else-class"

Where value.one and value.two are true, they take precedent over the .else-class


Clearly! We can make a function to return a CSS class name with following fully example. enter image description here

CSS

<style>
    .Red {
        color: Red;
    }
    .Yellow {
        color: Yellow;
    }
      .Blue {
        color: Blue;
    }
      .Green {
        color: Green;
    }
    .Gray {
        color: Gray;
    }
     .b{
         font-weight: bold;
    }
</style>

JS

<script>
    angular.module('myapp', [])
            .controller('ExampleController', ['$scope', function ($scope) {
                $scope.MyColors = ['It is Red', 'It is Yellow', 'It is Blue', 'It is Green', 'It is Gray'];
                $scope.getClass = function (strValue) {
                    if (strValue == ("It is Red"))
                        return "Red";
                    else if (strValue == ("It is Yellow"))
                        return "Yellow";
                    else if (strValue == ("It is Blue"))
                        return "Blue";
                    else if (strValue == ("It is Green"))
                        return "Green";
                    else if (strValue == ("It is Gray"))
                        return "Gray";
                }
        }]);
</script>

And then

<body ng-app="myapp" ng-controller="ExampleController">

<h2>AngularJS ng-class if example</h2>
<ul >
    <li ng-repeat="icolor in MyColors" >
        <p ng-class="[getClass(icolor), 'b']">{{icolor}}</p>
    </li>
</ul>
<hr/>
<p>Other way using : ng-class="{'class1' : expression1, 'class2' : expression2,'class3':expression2,...}"</p>
<ul>
    <li ng-repeat="icolor in MyColors">
        <p ng-class="{'Red':icolor=='It is Red','Yellow':icolor=='It is Yellow','Blue':icolor=='It is Blue','Green':icolor=='It is Green','Gray':icolor=='It is Gray'}" class="b">{{icolor}}</p>
    </li>
</ul>

The above solutions didn't work for me for classes with background images somehow. What I did was I create a default class (the one you need in else) and set class='defaultClass' and then the ng-class="{class1:abc,class2:xyz}"

<span class="booking_warning" ng-class="{ process_success: booking.bookingStatus == 'BOOKING_COMPLETED' || booking.bookingStatus == 'BOOKING_PROCESSED', booking_info: booking.bookingStatus == 'INSTANT_BOOKING_REQUEST_RECEIVED' || booking.bookingStatus == 'BOOKING_PENDING'}"> <strong>{{booking.bookingStatus}}</strong> </span>

P.S: The classes that are in condition should override the default class i.e marked as !important
