I have searched for a similar question but the ones that came up seem slightly different. I am trying to change the ui-sref='' of a link dynamically (this link points to the next section of a wizard form and the next section depends on the selection made on the dropdown list). I am simply trying to set the ui-sref attribute depending on some selection in a select box. I am able to change the ui-sref by binding to a scope attribute which is set when a selection is made. however the link does not work, is this possible at all? thanks
<a ui-sref="form.{{url}}" >Next Section</a>
and then in my controller, I set the url parameter this way
switch (option) {
case 'A': {
$scope.url = 'sectionA';
} break;
case 'B': {
$scope.url = 'sectionB';
} break;
ALTERNATIVELY, I USED DIRECTIVES TO GET IT TO WORK BY GENERATING THE HYPERLINK WITH THE DESIRED UI-SREF ATTRIBUTE ACCORDING TO THE OPTION SELECTED ON THE SELECT BOX (DROP DOWN)
however this means I have to re-create the link each time a different option is selected from the selectbox which causes an undesirable flickering effect. My question is this, is it possible to change the value of the ui-sref as I tried doing above by simpling changing the value of url in my controller or do I have to re-create the entire element using a directive each time a selection is made as I have done below? (just showing this for completeness)
SELECT OPTION DIRECTIVE (THIS DIRECTIVE GENERATES THE LINK DIRECTIVE)
define(['app/js/modules/app', 'app/js/directives/hyperLink'], function (app) {
app.directive('selectUsage', function ($compile) {
function createLink(scope,element) {
var newElm = angular.element('<hyper-link></hyper-link>');
var el = $(element).find('.navLink');
$(el).html(newElm);
$compile(newElm)(scope);
}
return {
restrict: 'E',
templateUrl: '/Client/app/templates/directives/select.html'
,link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
createLink(scope, element);
element.on('change', function () {
createLink(scope,element);
})
}
}
})
hyper link directive
define(['app/js/modules/app'], function (app) {
app.directive('hyperLink', function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
templateUrl: '/Client/app/templates/directives/hyperLink.html',
link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
}
}
})
HYPER LINK TEMPLATE
<div>
<button ui-sref="form.{url}}">Next Section</button>
