I have written a directive which would help disabling a button while ajax requests are pending.
this is my directive :
.directive('requestPending', ['$http', function ($http) {
return {
restrict: 'A',
scope: {
'requestPending': '='
},
link: function (scope, el, attr) {
scope.$watch(function () {
return $http.pendingRequests.length;
}, function (requests) {
scope.requestPending = requests > 0;
})
}
}
}])
the html is like :
<button request-pending="pending" ng-disabled="pending">Save</button>
Wanted to know whether this is a right way of doing it. I want to refrain from using $watch
Thank you.
As usual with Angular, there is no particularly "rigt way" to do certain things, but there are options.
For instance, you can extend $http
service with a decorator and go with custom events.
Or you can also leverage $httpProvider.interceptors
.

angular
.module('app', [])
.config(function ($httpProvider) {
$httpProvider.interceptors.push(function ($rootScope) {
var activeRequests = 0;
return {
request: function (config) {
$rootScope.pending = true;
activeRequests++;
return config;
},
response: function (response) {
activeRequests--;
if(activeRequests === 0) {
$rootScope.pending = false;
}
return response;
}
}
});
})
.controller('appCtrl', function($scope, $http) {
$scope.makeRequestOne = function() {
$http
.get('https://httpbin.org/delay/2')
.then(function(response) {
$scope.responseOne = response.data;
});
};
$scope.makeRequestTwo = function() {
$http
.get('https://httpbin.org/delay/4')
.then(function(response) {
$scope.responseTwo = response.data;
});
};
});
</script>

<body ng-controller="appCtrl">
<h1>Hello Plunker!</h1>
<button
ng-click="makeRequestOne()"
