I am trying to force a single-selection on checkboxes, similar to a html "select"
I have a html simple table:
<tr ng-repeat="subscription in entities">
<td>
<input type="checkbox" ng-checked="isChecked(subscription)" ng-click="toggleSelection(subscription)"/>
</td>
</tr>
Then I have some simple controller functions for those directives above:
$scope.isChecked = function(entity) {
return $scope.checkedEntity === entity;
};
$scope.toggleSelection = function(entity) {
entity.checked = !entity.checked;
if (entity.checked) {
$scope.checkedEntity = entity;
} else {
$scope.checkedEntity = null;
}
};
Unfortunately it doesn't work, and I think I just discovered why.... the ng-click has 0 priority, vs 100 for ng-checked.
Is there an elegant solution for this problem?
change(function() { $("#myform input:checkbox"). attr("checked", false); $(this). attr("checked", true); }); This should work for any number of checkboxes in the form.
Each ng-repeat list item will be bind to the checkbox by using ng-model. When object is used as datasource, we can use this method. This would allow us to Bind To List Of Checkbox Values In AngularJS.
Bind ng-model
to subscription.checked
, and have ng-click
uncheck all subscriptions except the one clicked. Since these are checkboxes, the one clicked will toggle itself.
<tr ng-repeat="subscription in entities">
<td>
<input ng-model="subscription.checked" ng-click="updateSelection($index, entities)" type="checkbox" />
</td>
</tr>
You can use a plain for
loop, but angular's forEach
allows us to alias each item as subscription
and improve readability:
$scope.updateSelection = function(position, entities) {
angular.forEach(entities, function(subscription, index) {
if (position != index)
subscription.checked = false;
});
}
