I am using this field for an edit view and a create view

<input data-ng-model="userInf.username"  class="span12 editEmail" type="text"  placeholder="[email protected]"  pattern="[^@]+@[^@]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}" required />

in the controller I have this code to disable the input element:

function($rootScope, $scope, $location, userService)
{

//etc 
    $(".editEmail" ).attr("disabled", disable);  // no idea how to do in angular
}

Please help.

    you need to use ng-disabled Commented Jul 1, 2013 at 10:30
  • @maqjav The question specifically declares that the solution should be provided in AngularJS terms, not jQuery. Commented Jul 1, 2013 at 10:38

Use ng-disabled or a special CSS class with ng-class

<input data-ng-model="userInf.username"  
       class="span12 editEmail" 
       type="text"  
       placeholder="[email protected]"  
       pattern="[^@]+@[^@]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}" 
       required 
       ng-disabled="{expression or condition}"
/>

You need to use ng-disabled directive

<input data-ng-model="userInf.username" 
       class="span12 editEmail" 
       type="text" 
       placeholder="[email protected]" 
       pattern="[^@]+@[^@]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}" 
       required 
       ng-disabled="<expression to disable>" />

I created a directive for this (angular stable 1.0.8)

<input type="text" input-disabled="editableInput" />
<button ng-click="editableInput = !editableInput">enable/disable</button>

app.controller("myController", function(){
  $scope.editableInput = false;
});

app.directive("inputDisabled", function(){
  return function(scope, element, attrs){
    scope.$watch(attrs.inputDisabled, function(val){
      if(val)
        element.removeAttr("disabled");
      else
        element.attr("disabled", "disabled");
    });
  }
});

I have to use angular 1.0.8 which doesn't have ng-disabled directive, so this was useful!

Your markup should contain an additional attribute called ng-disabled whose value should be a condition or expression that would evaluate to be either true or false.

    <input data-ng-model="userInf.username"  class="span12 editEmail" 
       type="text"  placeholder="[email protected]"  
       pattern="[^@]+@[^@]+\.[a-zA-Z]{2,6}" 
       required 
       ng-disabled="{condition or expression}"
/>

And in the controller you may have some code that would affect the value of ng-disabled directive.

<input type="text" input-disabled="editableInput" />
<button ng-click="editableInput = !editableInput">enable/disable</button>

app.controller("myController", function(){
  $scope.editableInput = false;
});

app.directive("inputDisabled", function(){
  return function(scope, element, attrs){
    scope.$watch(attrs.inputDisabled, function(val){
      if(val)
        element.removeAttr("disabled");
      else
        element.attr("disabled", "disabled");
    });
  }
});
