I have a couple of apps that make $http.get() calls and I wanted to be able to show a nicely formatted error message with ugly error details hidden, but accessible.  Основа, овој:

And then if the user clicks on the error, they see more info:

Simple stuff.  Since the exact same potential error can appear in the administrative screen as well as the end user screen, it clearly called for a custom Angular directive.  Јас  found this outstanding series of articles (http://weblogs.asp.net/dwahlin/creating-custom-angularjs-directives-part-i-the-fundamentals) by the great Dan Wahlin.  Following his advice, I very quickly created a <hello-world> directive and moved on to my more complex error display squeegee. I ran into a bit of trouble with this more complex directive.  Happily, sort of by chance, I had told WebStorm (the editor I use these days) that the JS file was an Angular file and it helped me figure out the issue.  This is the code for the directive itself:

angular.module("CDLApp").directive("generalCdlErrorHandler", функција() {

    се врати {
        restrict: "E",
        замени: вистина,

        scope: {
            retrieveLastConfigurationError: "&"
        },

        дефиниција:
          "<div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert" ng-init="doShowExpandedErrorDetails = true" ng-show="retrieveLastConfigurationError()">" +
          '  There was an I/O error or other error.  This usually happens because configuration data file could not be ' +
          '  found or the configuration file contains inaccurate information (such as referencing a document library ' +
          '  that does not exist)." +
          "  <Br />" +
          "  <div ng-show="doShowExpandedErrorDetails">" +
          "    <a href="#" ng-click="doShowExpandedErrorDetails = ! doShowExpandedErrorDetails">" +
          '      Click here to hide details.' +
          "    </на>: " +
          "    <Br />" +
          "    <пред>{{retrieveLastConfigurationError() | json}}</пред>" +
          "    <Br />" +
          "  </div>" +
          "  <div ng-show="!doShowExpandedErrorDetails">" +
          "    <a href="#" ng-click="doShowExpandedErrorDetails = ! doShowExpandedErrorDetails">" +
          '      Click here to expand error details.' +
          "    </на>" +
          "  </div>" +
          "</div>"
    };
});

Основа, I’m creating a new element called a “generalCdlErrorHandler”.  It needs access to a function called retrieveLastConfigurationError and that’s handled in the scope object.  I probably could have just used the parent’s scope, but that feels lazy.  If anyone thinks I should have done that, I’d love to hear about it in the comments.

This was all fine, but I wasn’t getting anything.  No errors popped up in the console (at least once I fixed all the sx errors I created along the way).  I simply didn’t get any output from the directive.  I went and added some static text before the ng-show directive and I *did* get that. This made me think that perhaps the directive wasn’t allowed to implicitly create new vars like “doShowExpandedErrorDetails” or have an “ng-init” in there. 

I went back into the HTML to see if I had a type and this time WebStorm helped me out.  I had been passing in the retrieveLastConfigurationError function like this:

<general-cdl-error-handler retrieveLastConfigurationError="CDLController.retrieveLastConfigurationError()">
</general-cdl-error-handler>

But it really needed to be this:

<general-cdl-error-handler retrieve-last-configuration-error="CDLController.retrieveLastConfigurationError()">
</general-cdl-error-handler>

WebStorm was smart enough to know that it had to be hyphenated.  If it hadn’t provided that hint, I’d probably be still troubleshooting this .  Fun times!

The trick is this: not only is the directive element name hyphenated, so are any attributes you add to it.  Once I added the hyphens, it all worked great.  Dan’s tutorial happened to use short single names, so I didn’t make the connection.

Се надеваат дека ова им помага на некој.
