Our app is being ported from jQuery to AngularJS with bootstrap (angular-ui bootstrap).
One handy feature that was covered by the following excellent post was to add "http://" prefix to a URL field if it did not already have a prefix: http://www.robsearles.com/2010/05/jquery-validate-url-adding-http/
I am trying to achieve the same in AngularJS via a directive, but cannot get the directive to alter the value of the ng-model as it is being typed.
I've started simple by trying to get a fiddle to add a "http://" prefix on EVERY change for now (I can add the logic later to only add it when needed). http://jsfiddle.net/LDeXb/9/
app.directive('httpPrefix', function() {
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: {
ngModel: '='
},
link: function(scope, element, attrs, controller) {
element.bind('change', function() {
scope.$apply(function() {
scope.ngModel = 'http://' + scope.ngModel;
});
});
}
};
});
Can anyone please help me to get this to write back to the ngModel. Also, the field I need to apply this new directive to already has a directive on it with isolate scope so I'm assuming I can't have another one with isolate scope - if this is so can I achieve it without isolate scope?
