AngularJS:how to disable all the form controls in a form?

Question

I want to disable all the form components so that it can't be edited when view button is clicked. this is my form

<form action="#" class="form-horizontal" >    <div class="form-group">       <label for="fieldname" class="col-md-3 control-label">Name</label>       <div class="col-md-6">          <input type="text" ng-model="newItem.customSelected" typeahead="name as name.name for name in members | filter:{name:$viewValue}" class="form-control" />       </div>    </div>    <div class="form-group">       <label for="fieldhname" class="col-md-3 control-label">House name</label>       <div class="col-md-6">          <input type="text" ng-model="newItem.customSelected1" typeahead="house_name as house_name.house_name for house_name in family | filter:{house_name:$viewValue}" class="form-control" />       </div>    </div>    <div class="form-group">       <label for="" class="col-md-3 control-label"><?php echo $this->lang->line('label_family_id'); ?></label>       <div class="col-md-6">          <input type="text" ng-model="newItem.customSelected2" typeahead="fm as fm.family_reg_no for fm in family | filter:{family_reg_no:$viewValue}" class="form-control" />       </div>    </div>    <div class="col-md-3"></div>  </form> 

and this is my button

<input type="button" class="finish btn-success btn" ng-click="view(newItem)" value="view"/> 

Answer 1

Rather than handling it at per-field level, you can put all form elements into fieldset and use ng-disabled to disable the whole fieldset.

Answer 2

you can use fieldset tag by surrounding your buttons with a fieldset and using ng-disabled attribute:

<form action="#" class="form-horizontal" >    <fieldset ng-disabled="isClicked">       <!--your form here --!>    </fieldset> </form> 

now all that left is in the view(newItem) function do:

$scope.view = function(newItem){    $scope.isClicked = true;    // Your code here and set it to false when your are done with it }
