how to check with angular.js what is the type of an element

Question

I received an html node and store it as angularjs element:

var el=angular.element(e.target);

How can i check if that element is of type "textarea" or "input" without using jQuery?

Answer 1

You can easily find it by using :-

 el[0].tagName=="INPUT" or  el[0].tagName=="TEXTAREA"

Small example:-

 <div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
    <input type="text" name="name" id="name"/><br>
    <textarea id="check"></textarea>
</div>

Controller:-

  var e1=angular.element(document.querySelector("#name"));
    var e2=angular.element(document.querySelector("#check"))
    console.log(e1[0].tagName);
    console.log(e2[0].tagName);

Fiddle

Answer 2

A rather short answer is:

el[0].tagName === 'TEXTAREA'
