Dropdowns in UI Grid
[wp_ad_camp_1] Using dropdowns in UI-Grid is two-fold. One, you define a filter that displays the labels of HTML’s SELECT values when the dropdown is not on focus or edit mode. The following Department labels are displayed using a filter. Second,
Pass data to Controller from another controller using $mdDialog
[wp_ad_camp_1] There are a couple of ways to do this.One is via $rootScope by creating (maybe temporarily) a public member variable and let the dialog controller read from it. This is also similar to creating a service with public member
How to create classes in JavaScript
Background [wp_ad_camp_1] I must admit I used to dislike JavaScript and UI development. First, I related JavaScript to Web UI design at which I am very not good at. I do not have an artistic side when it comes to
How to adjust table headers in Angular-Datatables
This highlights how to programmatically adjust table headers after rendering angular-datatables. Note that sometimes before adjusting the headers so that they will aligned with the table body (
), a delay (via setTimeout()) is needed as the adjustment may be interrupted or prevented by any of the tables’ parent elements.Working with Reference Types in JavaScript
JavaScript has both primitive and reference types. It has three primitive types: string, numeric, and boolean. Internally, these are small and fixed-sized collection of bytes that are easily and predictably manipulated at the low (primitive) levels of the JavaScript interpreter. Example of strings are ‘This is a string’ and “This is another string”. Numeric values – 1, and 3.1416. Boolean values – true or false. On the other hand, reference types are different. They include objects (including JS built-in objects), Arrays, and functions. Essentially, they can have any number of properties or elements with various types (both primitives and references), so they cannot be manipulated as easily as fixed-size primitive v
JavaScript Arrays with Elements of Different Data Types
Array with different types of data? Weird stuff! Generally, an array is collection of similar items. In Computer Science 101, this means the items are of the same data type. We have an array of integers, boolean values or strings. But in JavaScript, arrays can have elements of different types.
Type Checking in JavaScript
Okay, JavaScript is a loosely-typed language, which means you do not declare the data type of a variable explicitly. In a basic variable assignment expression, e.g., var i = 4;, the value that assigns to the variable determines the data type of the variable. As you assign different types of data to the same variable, its data type changes as well. Given the nature of JavaScript, finding out what data type a variable represents before using it is very important.
