Angular tab selecting using controller method

394 views Asked by Ming Huang At 25 June 2015 at 21:00

I am trying to use AngularJS to display the tab number when certain tab is selected using the controller method. It does not as expected. Greatly appreciate your help on this one.

HTML

<body ng-app="coolApp">
    <section ng-controller="panelSelector as panel">
        <ul class="nav nav-pills">
            <li ng-class="{active:panel.isSet(1)}"><a href ng-click="panel.setTab(1)">Concert Band</a></li>
            <li ng-class="{active:panel.isSet(2)}"><a href ng-click="panel.setTab(2)">Ceremonial Band</a></li>
            <li ng-class="{active:panel.isSet(3)}"><a href ng-click="panel.setTab(3)">191st Jazz Combo</a></li>
            <li ng-class="{active:panel.isSet(4)}"><a href ng-click="panel.setTab(4)">Brass Ensemble</a></li>
            <li ng-class="{active:panel.isSet(5)}"><a href ng-click="panel.setTab(5)">Celtic Fire</a></li>
        </ul>
        <p> the tab number is: {{tab}}</p>
    </section>
</body>

Code

var app = angular.module("coolApp", []);
app.controller("panelSelector", function(){
this.tab = 1; 

this.setTab = function(tabChoice){
    this.tab = tabChoice;
};
this.isSet = function(checkTab){
    return this.tab = checkTab;
};
});

Your this inside a setTab & isSet function are different, you should have declare a variable and assign this.

Controller

var app = angular.module("coolApp", []);
app.controller("panelSelector", function(){
  var panel = this;
  panel.tab = 1; 

  panel.setTab = function(tabChoice){
      panel.tab = tabChoice;
  };
  panel.isSet = function(checkTab){
      return panel.tab == checkTab;
  };
});

var app = angular.module("coolApp", []);
app.controller("panelSelector", function(){
  var panel = this;
  panel.tab = 1; 

  panel.setTab = function(tabChoice){
      panel.tab = tabChoice;
  };
  panel.isSet = function(checkTab){
      return panel.tab == checkTab;
  };
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.5/angular.min.js"></script>
<body ng-app="coolApp">
<section ng-controller="panelSelector as panel">
            <ul class = "nav nav-pills">
                <li ng-class="{active:panel.isSet(1)}"><a href ng-click = "panel.setTab(1)">Concert Band</a></li>
                <li ng-class="{active:panel.isSet(2)}"><a href ng-click = "panel.setTab(2)">Ceremonial Band</a></li>
                <li ng-class="{active:panel.isSet(3)}"><a href ng-click = "panel.setTab(3)">191st Jazz Combo</a></li>
                <li ng-class="{active:panel.isSet(4)}"><a href ng-click = "panel.setTab(4)">Brass Ensemble</a></li>
                <li ng-class="{active:panel.isSet(5)}"><a href ng-click = "panel.setTab(5)">Celtic Fire</a></li>
            </ul>
            <p> the tab number is: {{panel.tab}}</p>
</section>
</body>

Your reference to panel with this was not correct,
You were using {{tab}} instead of {{panel.tab}} to display the selected tab,
And your return statement should have been return panel.tab == checkTab;.

Hope the issue is resolved!
