I have a situation where I receive a json object and within json data is a section that look something like this

{
  "elName": "elCst3",
  "label": "Label 3",
  "type": "input",
  "content": "some text",
}

This is assigned to $scope.data

The type expression in the object can be input or textarea

In my html template, depending on which value the TYPE is I am supposed to load either a textfield (input/text) or textarea element.

Pseudo logic of it is something like this..

IF {{data.type}} == "input" then

    <input id="data.elName" type="text" value="{{data.content}}">

ELSE IF {{data.type}} == "textarea" then

    <textarea id="data.elName">{{data.content}}</textarea>
ENDIF

How could I in the best and simplest way approach this in Angularjs?

Thanks!

I would use ng-if in your case. Something like:

HTML

<label ng-repeat="val in list">
    <div ng-if="val.type == 'input'">
        <input id="data.elName" type="text" value="{{val.content}}"></input>
    </div>
    <div ng-if="val.type == 'textarea'">
        <textarea id="data.elName">{{val.content}}</textarea>
    </div>
</label>

JS

 $scope.list = [{
        "elName": "elCst3",
            "label": "Label 3",
            "type": "input",
            "content": "some text for input"
    }, {
        "elName": "elCst4",
            "label": "Label 3",
            "type": "textarea",
            "content": "some text for textarea"
    }];

I'll try this out and come back to comment. thanks! Could you just hint at what "fessmodule.$inject = ['$scope'];" does? –  ng-js learning curve Dec 14 '13 at 6:34
    
This worked great, thanks. –  ng-js learning curve Dec 14 '13 at 7:28
    
@PersistentNewbie its just injection of scope. You can remove it –  Maxim Shoustin Dec 14 '13 at 8:14
