Using ng-repeat and ng-class on rows inside a table

oeoeaio picture oeoeaio · Mar 14, 2013 · Viewed 81.9k times · Source

I am using AngularJS and the effect I want to get would be something similar to what this would produce, assuming it would work (which it doesn't).

View

<tr ng-repeat='person in people' ng-class='rowClass(person)'>
  <td>.....info about person...</td>
  <td>.....info about person...</td>
  <td>.....info about person...</td>
</tr>

Controller

$scope.rowClass = function(person){
  ...return some value based upon some property of person...
}

I realise that this code won't work because person is unavailable to ng-class as it will only be available to objects inside each row. The code is to get the idea of what I'm trying to do across: ie. I want to be able to have table rows that are created using ng-repeat whose class is also based on a condition which depends on access to the scoped feature of row itself eg. person. I realise I could just add ng-class on the columns but that is boring. Anyone have any better ideas?

This should actually work fine. Person should be available on the tr element as well as on its children since they share the same scope.

This seems to work fine for me:

<table>
    <tr ng-repeat="person in people" ng-class="rowClass(person)">
        <td>{{ person.name }}</td>
    </tr>
</table>
