angular-dropdowns

Dropdown directives for AngularJS (Version 1.1.5).

Includes both a select-style dropdown and a menu-style dropdown. The menu-style dropdown attaches to an existing element (button, link, div, etc), whereas the select-style dropdown replaces the element it is attached to.

See examples: http://jsfiddle.net/jseppi/cTzun/3/embedded/result/

Usage

Include ngDropdowns in your module dependencies:

var app = angular.module('app', ['ngDropdowns']);

In your controller, setup the select options and object to hold the selected value:

app.controller('AppCtrl', function($scope) {

    // By default the 'text' property will be used as the display text in the dropdown entry.
    // All options that are not dividers must have a 'text' property.
    // Or you can specify a different property name via the dropdown-item-label attribute.
    //
    // If an options object has an 'href' property set, then that dropdown entry
    //   will behave as a link and cannot be selected.
    $scope.ddSelectOptions = [
        {
            text: 'Option1',
            iconCls: 'someicon'
        },
        {
            text: 'Option2',
            someprop: 'somevalue'
        },
        {
            // Any option with divider set to true will be a divider
            // in the menu and cannot be selected.
            divider: true
        },
        {
            // Example of an option with the 'href' property
            text: 'Option4',
            href: '#option4'
        }
    ];

    $scope.ddSelectSelected = {}; // Must be an object
});

And in your html, specify the dropdown-select and dropdown-model attributes on an element.

You can optionally set dropdown-item-label to specify a different label field from the default (which is 'text'):

<div ng-controller="AppCtrl">
    <div>
        <h1>Dropdown Select</h1>
        <p>You have selected: {{ddSelectSelected}}</p>
        <div dropdown-select="ddSelectOptions"
            dropdown-model="ddSelectSelected"
            dropdown-item-label="text" >
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

For a menu-style dropdown, use dropdown-menu in place of dropdown-select:

<div ng-controller="AppCtrl">
    <div>
        <h1>Dropdown Select</h1>
        <p>You have selected: {{ddSelectSelected}}</p>
        <a href='' title=''
            dropdown-menu="ddSelectOptions"
            dropdown-model="ddSelectSelected"
            dropdown-item-label="text">
            Menu
        </a>
    </div>
</div>

You can specify a function to call upon dropdown value change by specifying the dropdown-onchange attribute. This method will have the selected object passed to it.

<div dropdown-select="ddSelectOptions"
    dropdown-model="ddSelectSelected"
    dropdown-item-label="text"
    dropdown-onchange="someMethod(selected)" >
</div>
