How can I make an AngularJS directive to stopPropagation?
I've used this way: Created a directive:
.directive('stopEvent', function () {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function (scope, element, attr) {
if(attr && attr.stopEvent)
element.bind(attr.stopEvent, function (e) {
e.stopPropagation();
});
}
};
});
that could be used this way:
<a ng-click='expression' stop-event='click'>
This is more generic way of stopping propagation of any kind of events.
"Currently some directives (i.e. ng:click) stops event propagation. This prevents interoperability with other frameworks that rely on capturing such events." - link
... and was able to fix without a directive, and simply doing:
<a ng-click="doThing($index); $event.stopPropagation();">x</a>
stopPropagation
has to be called on an event object, not the element itself. Here's an example:
compile: function (elm) {
return function (scope, elm, attrs) {
$(elm).click(function (event) {
event.stopPropagation();
});
};
}
Here's a simple, abstract directive to stop event propagation. I figure it might be useful to someone. Simply pass in the event you wish to stop.
<div stopProp="click"></div>
app.directive('stopProp', function () {
return function (scope, elm, attrs) {
elm.on(attrs.stopProp, function (event) {
event.stopPropagation();
});
};
});
