I'm trying to complete or submit an input on enter press instead of clicking a submit button. Is this possible purely through a directive? Or must I add some JS?
Here's my input:
<input type="text" ng-model='main.input' placeholder='some text' required=''/>
Use ng-keyup native directive on the input and fire up ng-submit on the form:
<form ng-submit="submitFunc()">
<input type="text" ng-model='main.input' placeholder='some text' required='' ng-keyup="$event.keyCode == 13 && submitFunc()"/>
</form>
You can use ng-submit to submit your form on enter button click. See the example below,
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.22/angular.min.js"></script>
<script>
angular.module('submitExample', [])
.controller('ExampleController', ['$scope',
function($scope) {
$scope.text = 'hello';
$scope.submit = function() {
if ($scope.text) {
$scope.enterText = this.text;
$scope.text = '';
}
};
}
]);
</script>
<div ng-app="submitExample">
<form ng-submit="submit()" ng-controller="ExampleController">
Enter text and hit enter:
<input type="text" ng-model="text" name="text" />
<input type="submit" id="submit" value="Submit" />
<pre>list={{enterText}}</pre>
</form>
</div>
