I am trying to toggle a div text on click of a button. I tried taking a scope variable and toggeling classname based on the variable. Where am I making the mistake here
I have changed your directive..
html
<button ng-click="toggle()">test </button>
<div ng-show="state" >
hello test
</div>
Controller
function ctrl($scope) {
$scope.toggle = function () {
$scope.state = !$scope.state;
}; }
see complete code here http://jsfiddle.net/nw5ndzrt/345/
You can simplify this a lot like so
<button ng-click="showDiv = !showDiv">test </button>
<div ng-show="showDiv" >
hello test
</div>
Fiddle example
Unless you need the specific ng-class to toggle in which case you can do something like
<button ng-click="showDiv = !showDiv">test </button>
<div ng-class="{'vis' : showDiv }" >
hello test
</div>
Fiddle example
(just make sure you're using a newer version of angular for this)
Another approach...
Use ng-switch
You can toggle through multiple divs without the css hassle...
var myApp = angular.module('myApp',[]);
function MyCtrl($scope) {
}
<script src="https://code.angularjs.org/angular-1.0.1.js"></script>
<body ng-app="myApp">
<div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<button ng-click="showDiv = !showDiv">test </button>
<div ng-switch="showDiv" >
<div ng-switch-default>
hello you
</div>
<div ng-switch-when=true>
hello me
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
