How can I use ng-switch to satisfy multiple, same conditions?

Question

I want to create a piece of HTML with AngularJS based on the authentication status.

I use ng-switch.

The issue is that I want to have multiple hits

Answer 1

Unfortunately the ng-switch directive only supports multiple matches since version 1.1.3 of AngularJS.

See the changelog and this commit as reference.

Someone overwrote the ngSwitchWhen Directive to include the option to allow || operators, you can find the original response here: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:ngSwitch by angabriel

config(function($routeProvider, $provide) {
/**
* overwrite angular's directive ngSwitchWhen
* can handle ng-switch-when="value1 || value2 || value3"
*/
    $provide.decorator('ngSwitchWhenDirective', function($delegate) {
    $delegate[0].compile = function(element, attrs, transclude) {
        return function(scope, element, attr, ctrl) {
          var subCases = [attrs.ngSwitchWhen];
          if(attrs.ngSwitchWhen && attrs.ngSwitchWhen.length > 0 && attrs.ngSwitchWhen.indexOf('||') != -1) {
          subCases = attrs.ngSwitchWhen.split('||');
        }
        var i=0;
        var casee;
        var len = subCases.length;
        while(i<len) {
            casee = $.trim(subCases[i++]);
            ctrl.cases['!' + casee] = (ctrl.cases['!' + casee] || []);
            ctrl.cases['!' + casee].push({ transclude: transclude, element: element });
        }
    }
    }
    return $delegate;
  });
});

Angular 1.1.5 supports ng-if. You can look at that. Then you can have independent conditions.
