Angularjs - Hide content until DOM loaded

Solution 1:

In your CSS add:

[ng\:cloak], [ng-cloak], [data-ng-cloak], [x-ng-cloak], .ng-cloak, .x-ng-cloak {
  display: none !important;
}

and just add a "ng-cloak" attribute to your div like here:

<div id="template1" ng-cloak>{{scoped_var}}<div>

doc: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngCloak

Solution 2:

On your caseWrap element, put ng-show="contentLoaded" and then where you currently have $('#caseWrap').show(); put $scope.contentLoaded = true;

If the caseWrap element is outside this controller, you can do the same kind of thing using either $rootScope or events.

Solution 3:

Add the following to your CSS:

[ng\:cloak],[ng-cloak],.ng-cloak{display:none !important}

The compiling of your angular templates isn't happening fast enough.

UPDATE

You should not do DOM manipulation in your controller. There are two thing you can do... 1. You can intercept changes to the value within the scope of the controller via a directive! In your case, create a directive as an attribute that is assigned the property you want to watch. In your case, it would be caseData. If casedata is falsey, hide it. Otherwise, show it.

A simpler way is just use ngShow='casedata'.

Code

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.controller("caseCtrl", function ($scope, $http, $routeParams, $timeout) {
    $scope.caseData = null;
    //mimic a delay in getting the data from $http
    $timeout(function () {
        $scope.caseData = 'hey!';
    }, 1000);

})
    .directive('showHide', function () {
    return {
        link: function (scope, element, attributes, controller) {
            scope.$watch(attributes.showHide, function (v) {
                if (v) {
                    element.show();
                } else {
                    element.hide();
                }
            });
        }
    };
});

HTML

<div ng-controller='caseCtrl' show-hide='caseData'>using directive</div>
<div ng-controller='caseCtrl' ng-show='caseData'>using ngShow</div>
