I have a table where I need to apply two different classes, using expressions. 1st class is applied based on following expression. {'Up':'class-up', 'Down':'class-down'}[a.status] and 2nd class is applied based on bold: !a.read

The classes here are class-up, class-down, bold. So how should be the expression framed? I tried:

<tr ng-repeat="a in all" ng-class="{{'Up':'class-up', 'Down':'class-down'}[a.status],bold: !a.read}">

<tr ng-repeat="a in all" ng-class="{'Up':'class-up', 'Down':'class-down'}[a.status],bold: !a.read">

But I keep getting errors in console. What is the correct format to apply these classes based on the given expressions

isn't this quite similar to the example in the documentation? docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngClass –  Eduard Gamonal Jul 4 at 10:22
    
Yes, I tried those. But I'm unable to get it to work. The problem comes when 1st expression isn't directly dependent on a variable. {'Up':'class-up', 'Down':'class-down'}[a.status] . Here a.status returns Up or Down as response which in turns applies class-up and class-down classes respectively. –  Aniket Sinha Jul 4 at 10:30

Do you even need such a complex expression? Can you just use something like: ng-class="{ 'class-up': a.status === 'Up', 'class-down': a.status === 'Down', 'bold': !item.read }" –  Paolo Moretti Jul 4 at 10:34
    
This is the final approach which I tried(works) i.e splitting into status as Up and Down in 2 components. I thought maybe status can be evaluated in a single expression instead of two. –  Aniket Sinha Jul 4 at 10:42

With the clarification from your comment:

<tr ng-repeat="a in all" ng-class="{'class-up': a.status=='up', 'class-down': a.status=='down', 'bold': !a.read}">hello world</tr>
