[AngularJS] Hijacking Existing HTML Attributes with Angular Directives
Angular overrides quite a few existing HTML elements and attributes. This can be a useful technique in our own applications. We will build a directive that adds additional functionality to the src
property of an <img>.
Javascript:
/** * Created by Answer1215 on 12/8/2014. */ angular.module('app', []).directive('src', function () { var URL_RE = /^http:\/\/[^\/]*/; var HTTP_RE = /^(http|https):\/\//; return function (scope, element, attrs) { var context = {url: attrs.src.match(URL_RE)[0]}; context.domain = context.url.replace(HTTP_RE, ''); /* * Object {url: "http://fursealworld.com", domain: "fursealworld.com"} app.js:11 Object {url: "http://resources.news.com.au", domain: "resources.news.com.au"} app.js:11 Object {url: "http://www.hdwallpaperscool.com", domain: "www.hdwallpaperscool.com"} * */ var templateFn = _.template('<a href="<%= url %>" target="_blank">Photo courtesy of <%= domain %></a>'); element.css({border: "2px solid grey"}); element.after(templateFn(context)); }; });
