Applying Angular Bootstrap Drop Down Example

Question

I want to bring drop downs into my project and I took the code from the example. The drop down appears as in the example but when I click it nothing happens.

<form class="form" name="form"  novalidate>
  <div class="btn-group" dropdown is-open="status.isopen">
    <button type="button"
            class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle"
            dropdown-toggle
            ng-disabled="disabled">
      Button dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
    </button>
    <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
      <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
      <li class="divider"></li>
      <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
    </ul>
  </div>
  <div>
</form>   

Now the controller for this html:

angular.module('startupApp').controller('DropdownCtrl', function ($scope, $log) {
    $scope.items = [
        'The first choice!',
        'And another choice for you.',
        'but wait! A third!'
    ];

    $scope.status = {
        isopen: false
    };

    $scope.toggled = function(open) {
        $log.log('Dropdown is now: ', open);
    };

    $scope.toggleDropdown = function($event) {
        $event.preventDefault();
        $event.stopPropagation();
        $scope.status.isopen = !$scope.status.isopen;
    };
});

I had the same problem and I solved by deleting the line dropdown-toggle

I don't know what the problem is but it works well in this way

Here what I did: This si the original example:

    <!-- Single button -->
    <div class="btn-group" dropdown is-open="status.isopen">
      <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" dropdown-toggle ng-disabled="disabled">
        Button dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
      </button>
      <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
        <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
        <li class="divider"></li>
        <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
      </ul>
    </div>

and this is the code without dropdown-toggle

<!-- Single button -->
<div class="btn-group" dropdown is-open="status.isopen">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle" ng-disabled="disabled">
    Button dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
  </button>
  <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
    <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
    <li class="divider"></li>
    <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
  </ul>
</div>

Edit:

The above example works if you are using angular-ui-bootstrap Version: 0.10.0

Now I've changed the ui-bootstrap using this

<script src="//angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/ui-bootstrap-tpls-0.12.0.js"></script>

And now all work like a charm

There are a few problems in your code:

Your HTML is not valid, the last <div> tag shouldn't be there

<form class="form" name="form" novalidate>
    <div class="btn-group" dropdown is-open="status.isopen">
        <button type="button"
                class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle"
                dropdown-toggle
                ng-disabled="disabled">
            Button dropdown <span class="caret"></span>
        </button>
        <ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu">
            <li>
                <a href="#">Action</a>
            </li>
            <li>
                <a href="#">Another action</a>
            </li>
            <li>
                <a href="#">Something else here</a>
            </li>
            <li class="divider"></li>
            <li>
                <a href="#">Separated link</a>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</form>

You did not reference ui.bootstrap as a module dependency

angular.module('startupApp', [
    'ui.bootstrap'
])

Did you include the right files ?

• AngularJS
• Angular UI Bootstrap
• Bootstrap CSS

You don't need anything special in your controller, the dropdown and dropdown-toggle directives are self-sufficient.
