The use of 'angular' as sample text is confusing to the newbie in that they are forced
to confirm that the text 'angular' is not a keyword or otherwise referring to a system
component. This is changed to a more obvious sample text.
The most common form of `ngBind` is moved to the top of the list.
Closes#4237
The demo of the hash-bang vs html5-mode deep links was broken since the introduction
of a check for previously bootstrapped elements. See this commit: 3ee744cc63
We fix this problem by applying a null for the injector value of the element of the
at the root of the sub-app.
It also turns out that it was not necessary, and if fact broke the demo, to replace
the $document service for the sub-app. This was because the $compile service calls
`$document.createElement()`, which doesn't exist on a `div`.
Finally, the bootstrap CSS was limiting the width of the ngAddress bar input box,
which made it difficult to see the changing URLs.
The host.com links on this documentation page took you to an ad page of dubious content.
Now changed to example.com, in accordance with RFC 2606
Closes#4206
Previous version stated `replace:false` will append template to element.
Improve description to accurately state that template will _replace_ the
contents of the current element.
Closes#2235, #4166
When using Angular in the root of a domain with HTML5 URLs
where there are links to external paths within the same directory,
the `otherwise` route handler will catch these external files.
This can be fixed by prefixing '.' onto the links to URLs that should
be handled by angular routing.
Original Issue: #3520
Example of Fix: http://fiddle.jshell.net/fgHf6/3/Closes#3555
I noticed angular was adding these css classes to elements and believe they
should be listed in the documentation at this page. The ng-scope class is
mentioned in the developer guide, hence the link there, and the ng-binding
class is not mentioned anywhere else in the documentation or the guide that
I found.
Closes#3728
Updated Module documentation to include the suggestion of the top-rated comment: "This documentation should warn that "angular.module('myModule', [])" always creates a new module, but "angular.module('myModule')" always retrieves an existing reference."
Wording has been changed in two of the examples to read naturally.
For example:
From: 'Do not use controllers for to run stateless or stateful code
shared across controllers'
To: 'Do not use controllers for sharing stateless or stateful code
across controllers'
Closes#3454
Support controller: 'MyController as my' syntax for directives which publishes
the controller instance to the directive scope.
Support controllerAs syntax to define an alias to the controller within the
directive scope.
$sce is a service that provides Strict Contextual Escaping services to AngularJS.
Strict Contextual Escaping
--------------------------
Strict Contextual Escaping (SCE) is a mode in which AngularJS requires
bindings in certain contexts to result in a value that is marked as safe
to use for that context One example of such a context is binding
arbitrary html controlled by the user via ng-bind-html-unsafe. We
refer to these contexts as privileged or SCE contexts.
As of version 1.2, Angular ships with SCE enabled by default.
Note: When enabled (the default), IE8 in quirks mode is not supported.
In this mode, IE8 allows one to execute arbitrary javascript by the use
of the expression() syntax. Refer
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/10/16/ending-expressions.aspx
to learn more about them. You can ensure your document is in standards
mode and not quirks mode by adding <!doctype html> to the top of your
HTML document.
SCE assists in writing code in way that (a) is secure by default and (b)
makes auditing for security vulnerabilities such as XSS, clickjacking,
etc. a lot easier.
Here's an example of a binding in a privileged context:
<input ng-model="userHtml">
<div ng-bind-html-unsafe="{{userHtml}}">
Notice that ng-bind-html-unsafe is bound to {{userHtml}} controlled by
the user. With SCE disabled, this application allows the user to render
arbitrary HTML into the DIV. In a more realistic example, one may be
rendering user comments, blog articles, etc. via bindings. (HTML is
just one example of a context where rendering user controlled input
creates security vulnerabilities.)
For the case of HTML, you might use a library, either on the client side, or on the server side,
to sanitize unsafe HTML before binding to the value and rendering it in the document.
How would you ensure that every place that used these types of bindings was bound to a value that
was sanitized by your library (or returned as safe for rendering by your server?) How can you
ensure that you didn't accidentally delete the line that sanitized the value, or renamed some
properties/fields and forgot to update the binding to the sanitized value?
To be secure by default, you want to ensure that any such bindings are disallowed unless you can
determine that something explicitly says it's safe to use a value for binding in that
context. You can then audit your code (a simple grep would do) to ensure that this is only done
for those values that you can easily tell are safe - because they were received from your server,
sanitized by your library, etc. You can organize your codebase to help with this - perhaps
allowing only the files in a specific directory to do this. Ensuring that the internal API
exposed by that code doesn't markup arbitrary values as safe then becomes a more manageable task.
In the case of AngularJS' SCE service, one uses $sce.trustAs (and
shorthand methods such as $sce.trustAsHtml, etc.) to obtain values that
will be accepted by SCE / privileged contexts.
In privileged contexts, directives and code will bind to the result of
$sce.getTrusted(context, value) rather than to the value directly.
Directives use $sce.parseAs rather than $parse to watch attribute
bindings, which performs the $sce.getTrusted behind the scenes on
non-constant literals.
As an example, ngBindHtmlUnsafe uses $sce.parseAsHtml(binding
expression). Here's the actual code (slightly simplified):
var ngBindHtmlUnsafeDirective = ['$sce', function($sce) {
return function(scope, element, attr) {
scope.$watch($sce.parseAsHtml(attr.ngBindHtmlUnsafe), function(value) {
element.html(value || '');
});
};
}];
Impact on loading templates
---------------------------
This applies both to the ng-include directive as well as templateUrl's
specified by directives.
By default, Angular only loads templates from the same domain and
protocol as the application document. This is done by calling
$sce.getTrustedResourceUrl on the template URL. To load templates from
other domains and/or protocols, you may either either whitelist them or
wrap it into a trusted value.
*Please note*:
The browser's Same Origin Policy and Cross-Origin Resource Sharing
(CORS) policy apply in addition to this and may further restrict whether
the template is successfully loaded. This means that without the right
CORS policy, loading templates from a different domain won't work on all
browsers. Also, loading templates from file:// URL does not work on
some browsers.
This feels like too much overhead for the developer?
----------------------------------------------------
It's important to remember that SCE only applies to interpolation expressions.
If your expressions are constant literals, they're automatically trusted
and you don't need to call $sce.trustAs on them.
e.g. <div ng-html-bind-unsafe="'<b>implicitly trusted</b>'"></div> just works.
Additionally, a[href] and img[src] automatically sanitize their URLs and
do not pass them through $sce.getTrusted. SCE doesn't play a role here.
The included $sceDelegate comes with sane defaults to allow you to load
templates in ng-include from your application's domain without having to
even know about SCE. It blocks loading templates from other domains or
loading templates over http from an https served document. You can
change these by setting your own custom whitelists and blacklists for
matching such URLs.
This significantly reduces the overhead. It is far easier to pay the
small overhead and have an application that's secure and can be audited
to verify that with much more ease than bolting security onto an
application later.
- corrected terminology about how directives use `require`
- added more variations to the DirectiveDefinitionObject
- removed some slightly superfluous text
docs(directive): Minor correction to example to avoid bad practice
Anchor tags should use `ng-href` instead of `href` for interpolation.
docs(directive): Supplementing DDO description
DDO = Directive Definition Object

ngScenario expects an ngApp directive to be used, and doesn't work for
manually bootstrapped apps. The failure mode is to hang on navigation.
Trying to make this wont-fix bug less obscure by documenting it.
Eventually Protractor will replace ngScenario and fix this.
Removed repeated "the" in the sentence: The input invalidates itself by turning red when you enter invalid data or leave "the" the input fields blank (Line 137).
The description of the input selector made it seem that you were selecting
an input element based upon it's name attribute. In reality, you are
selecting an element by the string in the ng-model attribute.
jQuery switched to a completely new event binding implementation as of
1.7.0, centering around on/off methods instead of previous bind/unbind.
This patch makes jqLite match this implementation while still supporting
previous bind/unbind methods.
$route, $routeParams and ngView have been pulled from core angular.js
to angular-route.js/ngRoute module.
This is was done to in order keep the core focused on most commonly
used functionality and allow community routers to be freely used
instead of $route service.
There is no need to panic, angular-route will keep on being supported
by the angular team.
Note: I'm intentionally not fixing tutorial links. Tutorial will need
bigger changes and those should be done when we update tutorial to
1.2.
BREAKING CHANGE: applications that use $route will now need to load
angular-route.js file and define dependency on ngRoute module.
Before:
```
...
<script src="angular.js"></script>
...
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['someOtherModule']);
...
```
After:
```
...
<script src="angular.js"></script>
<script src="angular-route.js"></script>
...
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ngRoute', 'someOtherModule']);
...
```
Closes#2804
element(selector, label).query(fn) is a very useful function, yet barely
explained. The developer guide should show how this function can be used
to conditionally execute behavior and assertions.
When you are watching the $location.path(), it has to be wrapped in a
function since it is not attached to the scope and if you pass a string
to $scope.$watch it is evaluated against the $scope.
In the example with draggable, the mouseDown handler needs to start with an event.preventDefault(). Otherwise the following bug occurs:
1) Select the text of the draggable span by clicking outside the span and dragging the mouse to the left or right through the span. Release the mouse button.
2) Now click on the span's inner text, and start to Drag it. The browser's default functionality that drags highlighted text so that it can be pasted into something else (say a document in a text editor) is invoked.
3) Release the mouse button. Now suddenly, you'll be dragging the span. But you won't be able to place it down on the page. It'll just follow the mouse around until the page is refreshed.
Closes: #2465
Note that without this fix, if you add a second draggable element, the
two instances clobber each other since there is only one set of
startx/starty/x/y variables.
Here is an example: http://plnkr.co/edit/aGrLXcIo2SuaePuAdfmQ?p=preview.
On the surface it looks like it would be fine because you only have one
mouse but in practice the start position jumps when you start dragging.
Here it is fixed: http://plnkr.co/edit/VuvPasuumtCeiVRisYKQ?p=preview
The documentation says that the input should be red if you enter
invalid values or leave it blank. Because the type="integer" is not
supported this does not happen in practice. This fix changes the
input type to number and adds an ng-pattern to ensure that the number
is an integer.
Sometimes is not desirable to use interpolation on attributes because
the user agent parses them before the interpolation takes place. I.e:
<svg>
<circle cx="{{cx}}" cy="{{cy}}" r="{{r}}"></circle>
</svg>
The snippet throws three browser errors, one for each attribute.
For some attributes, AngularJS fixes that behaviour introducing special
directives like ng-href or ng-src.
This commit is a more general solution that allows prefixing any
attribute with "ng-attr-", "ng:attr:" or "ng_attr_" so it will
be set only when the binding is done. The prefix is then removed.
Example usage:
<svg>
<circle ng-attr-cx="{{cx}}" ng-attr-cy="{{cy}}" ng:attr-r="{{r}}"></circle>
</svg>
Closes#1050Closes#1925
JQLite.ready() used for automatic bootstrapping (when jQuery is not present)
now checks if document already is ready when first called. This simplifies
bootstrapping when the angular script is loaded asynchronously.
However if other scripts with angular app code are being loaded as well
it is developers responsibility to ensure that these scripts are loaded
after angular-loader.js is evaluated and before angular.js script is
evaluated.
If you bind using '=' to a non-existant parent property, the compiler
will throw a NON_ASSIGNABLE_MODEL_EXPRESSION exception, which is right
because the model doesn't exist.
This enhancement allow to specify that a binding is optional so it
won't complain if the parent property is not defined. In order to mantain
backward compability, the new behaviour must be specified using '=?' instead
of '='. The local property will be undefined is these cases.
Closes#909Closes#1435
As explained in 'Understanding the Controller Component', Controllers
written for new (post 1.0 RC) versions of Angular need to add methods to
the scope directly, not the function's prototype. Correcting this
example should remove any ambiguity, especially for beginners.
