How to delete the row in which a ng-click is located?
In the following code, when I delete a customer, I want the TR row to disappear.
What is the best way to do this? Do I need to send the row as a parameter to deleteCustomer somehow? Do I have access to the TR DOM element within AngularJS somehow?
<html ng-app="mainModule">
<head>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.26/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body ng-controller="mainController" style="padding: 20px">
<div class="col-lg-5">
<table style="width: 500px" class="table-striped table-bordered table table-hover">
<tr ng-repeat="customer in customers">
<td style="width:50px"><button ng-click="deleteCustomer(customer)">Delete</button></td>
<td style="text-align:right">{{customer.id}}</td>
<td>{{customer.firstName}}</td>
<td>{{customer.lastName}}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
<div class="col-lg-7">
<div class="panel panel-info">
<div class="panel-heading">Logger</div>
<div class="panel-body" style="padding:0">
<table class="table table-bordered" style="margin:0">
<tr ng-repeat="loggedAction in loggedActions">
<td>{{loggedAction.action}}</td>
<td>{{loggedAction.description}}</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<script>
var mainModule = angular.module('mainModule', []);
function mainController($scope) {
$scope.loggedActions = [];
$scope.customers = [
{id: 1, firstName: 'Joe', lastName: 'Thompson'},
{id: 2, firstName: 'Hank', lastName: 'Howards'},
{id: 3, firstName: 'Zoe', lastName: 'Frappe'}
];
$scope.deleteCustomer = function (customer) {
$scope.$emit('customerDeleted', customer);
};
$scope.$on('customerDeleted', function (event, customer) {
$scope.loggedActions.push({action: 'delete', description: 'Deleted customer ' + customer.firstName + ' ' + customer.lastName});
});
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Answer
EDIT:
as pointed out by @K.Toress's comment, it's better to retrieve the index of the deleted customer via indexOf() from within the function, rather than passing $index from the ng-repeat. passing $index will give unexpected results if using a filter or sorting the array.
deleteCustomer function:
$scope.deleteCustomer = function (customer) {
var index = $scope.customers.indexOf(customer);
$scope.customers.splice(index, 1);
$scope.$emit('customerDeleted', customer);
};
updated plnkr
you can use the $index provided by ng-repeat, and array.splice from within the delete function:
html:
<button ng-click="deleteCustomer($index, customer)">Delete</button>
js:
$scope.deleteCustomer = function ($index, customer) {
$scope.customers.splice($index, 1);
$scope.$emit('customerDeleted', customer);
};
