Hey Guys,
In the previous post we’ve learned How To Create Quick Search Tab Using Angular JS.
In this post I’ll give you a quick AngularJS tutorial on how to develop a To-do application.
In order to build an AngularJS application you’ll first need to setup the project’s hierarchy. To do that you’ll need to perform the following:
Next, you’ll need to create a new file index.html and include all the JS (angular.min.js,app.js.controllers.js) and CSS (style.css) files in it, as depicted below.
<html>
<head>
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="js/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src='js/app.js'></script>
<script src='js/controllers.js'></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
At this point, you’ve basically setup all the necessary ingredients for an AngularJS application.
Next, you’ll need to the write the application’s code. To do so, open the app.js file and initialize the application by adding the following code:
var app = angular.module('TaskManager', []);
Then open the controllers.js file and add the business logic of the application i.e. Adding/Deleting Tasks (as depicted below).
app.controller('taskController', function($scope) {
$scope.today = new Date();
$scope.saved = localStorage.getItem('taskItems');
$scope.taskItem = (localStorage.getItem('taskItems')!==null) ?
JSON.parse($scope.saved) : [ {description: "Why not add a task?", date: $scope.today, complete: false}];
localStorage.setItem('taskItems', JSON.stringify($scope.taskItem));
$scope.newTask = null;
$scope.newTaskDate = null;
$scope.categories = [
{name: 'Personal'},
{name: 'Work'},
{name: 'School'},
{name: 'Cleaning'},
{name: 'Other'}
];
$scope.newTaskCategory = $scope.categories;
$scope.addNew = function () {
if ($scope.newTaskDate == null || $scope.newTaskDate == '') {
$scope.taskItem.push({
description: $scope.newTask,
date: "No deadline",
complete: false,
category: $scope.newTaskCategory.name
})
} else {
$scope.taskItem.push({
description: $scope.newTask,
date: $scope.newTaskDate,
complete: false,
category: $scope.newTaskCategory.name
})
};
$scope.newTask = '';
$scope.newTaskDate = '';
$scope.newTaskCategory = $scope.categories;
localStorage.setItem('taskItems', JSON.stringify($scope.taskItem));
};
$scope.deleteTask = function () {
var completedTask = $scope.taskItem;
$scope.taskItem = [];
angular.forEach(completedTask, function (taskItem) {
if (!taskItem.complete) {
$scope.taskItem.push(taskItem);
}
});
localStorage.setItem('taskItems', JSON.stringify($scope.taskItem));
};
$scope.save = function () {
localStorage.setItem('taskItems', JSON.stringify($scope.taskItem));
}
});
As you can see from the code snippet above, we’ve basically added a new controller here called TaskController and also added the functionality for the two methods titled addNew and deleteTask.
Now we need to initialize the app using the ng-app directive and add the application flow by binding the ng-controller directive to the div. To do that, add the following code under the
<body> tag.
<div ng-app="TaskManager" >
<div class="container">
<div class="content" ng-controller="taskController">
<h1>To-Do List</h1>
<p class="tagline">An AngularJS Todo Application</p>
<form>
<div class="inputContainer">
<input type="text" id="description" class="taskName" placeholder="What do you need to do?" ng-model="newTask">
<label for="description">Description</label>
</div>
<div class="inputContainer half last"> <i class="fa fa-caret-down selectArrow"></i>
<select id="category" class="taskCategory" ng-model="newTaskCategory" ng-options="obj.name for obj in categories">
<option class="disabled" value="">Choose a category</option>
</select>
<label for="category">Category</label>
</div>
<div class="inputContainer half last right">
<input type="date" id="dueDate" class="taskDate" ng-model="newTaskDate">
<label for="dueDate">Due Date</label>
</div>
<div class="row">
<button class="taskAdd" ng-click="addNew()"><i class="fa fa-plus icon"></i>Add task</button>
<button class="taskDelete" ng-click="deleteTask()"><i class="fa fa-trash-o icon"></i>Delete Tasks</button>
</div>
</form>
<ul class="taskList">
<li class="taskItem" ng-repeat="taskItem in taskItem track by $index" ng-model="taskItem">
<input type="checkbox" class="taskCheckbox" ng-model="taskItem.complete" ng-change="save()">
<span class="complete-{{taskItem.complete}}">{{taskItem.description}}</span> <span class="category-{{taskItem.category}}">{{taskItem.category}}</span> <strong class="taskDate complete-{{taskItem.complete}}"><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i>{{taskItem.date | date : 'mediumDate'}}</strong> </li>
</ul>
<!-- taskList -->
</div>
<!-- content -->
</div> <!-- container --> </div>
