Menu
I have looked at multiple threads and tried a vast variety of solutions. Quite frankly I think I am losing my mind.
I have an ng-repeat with inputs. All that needs to happen is that when the user presses enter, it should shift focus to the next input, basically simulating the tab key functionality.
The code (incomplete): HTML:
<body ng-app="ap" ng-controller="con">
<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Age</th>
</tr>
<tr ng-repeat='person in persons'>
<td>
<input type='text'
name="personName"
ng-model="person.name"
/>
</td>
<td>
<input type='number'
name="personName"
ng-model="person.age"
enter-as-tab
/>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
JS:
var app = angular.module("ap", []);
app.controller("con", function ($scope) {
$scope.persons = [
{ name: 'Susan', age: 1 },
{ name: 'Peter', age: 1 },
{ name: 'Jack', age: 2 }
];
});
app.directive('enterAsTab', function () {
return function (scope, element, attrs) {
element.bind("keydown keypress", function (event) {
if(event.which === 13) {
event.preventDefault();
// Go to next age input
}
});
};
});

Ok, so I figured it out. Wasn't that difficult after all. Just got caught up in the whole "don't think jQuery while using Angular" mindset.
Here is the directive that I implemented:
app.directive('enterAsTab', function () {
return function (scope, element, attrs) {
element.bind("keydown keypress", function (event) {
if(event.which === 13) {
event.preventDefault();
var elementToFocus = element.next('tr').find('input')[1];
if(angular.isDefined(elementToFocus))
elementToFocus.focus();
}
});
};
});
