AngularJS causing issues with Materializecss dropdown menu operation

I'm currently working on a web application using Materializecss and AngularJS for the front-end. However, I've encountered an issue with the dropdown menu component of Materialize not functioning as expected.

Here's an example of the dropdown from their official site:

$( document ).ready(function(){
    $(".dropdown-button").dropdown();
});
<ul id="dropdown1" class="dropdown-content">
  <li><a href="#!">one</a></li>
  <li><a href="#!">two</a></li>
  <li class="divider"></li>
  <li><a href="#!">three</a></li>
</ul>

The dropdown seems to work fine on their site, but it's not functioning properly on my end. I suspect that the href="#!" part of the dropdown button may be causing conflicts with AngularJS routing.

If this indeed is the issue, I would like to know how to make AngularJS ignore certain href links, specifically those required for dropdowns and modals. Alternatively, if this isn't the problem, I'm open to suggestions on how to troubleshoot and resolve the dropdown menu functionality.

I have attempted solutions such as removing or changing the href attribute to href="", but so far, none of these attempts have been successful in resolving the issue.

Answer №1

When combining frameworks, it's important to exercise caution as unexpected consequences may arise. If you need to show or hide elements on your webpage, below is a straightforward example demonstrating how to achieve this:

(demo)

HTML

<a href="javascript:void()" data-show="hidden">Show</a>
<a href="javascript:void()" data-hide="hidden">Hide</a>
<a href="javascript:void()" data-toggle="hidden">Toggle</a>
<div id="hidden"><!-- This can be any type of element -->
    <!-- Anything in here -->
</div>

CSS

#hidden {
    display: none;
}

JavaScript

$("[data-show]").on("click", function () {
    $("#" + $(this).attr("data-show")).css("display", "initial");
});
$("[data-hide]").on("click", function () {
    $("#" + $(this).attr("data-hide")).css("display", "none");
});
$("[data-toggle]").on("click", function () {
    var target = $("#" + $(this).attr("data-toggle"));
    if (target.css("display") === "none") {
        target.css("display", "initial");
    } else {
        target.css("display", "none");
    }
});

jQuery was used in this demonstration because it was utilized in your script. However, the same functionality can easily be achieved using pure JavaScript. Ensure that your JavaScript code is placed after the DOM, or wrap it in a document.onload handler.

Encountered a similar scenario recently where I was utilizing Materializecss with AngularJS.

You can find my solution on CodePen: http://codepen.io/omt66/pen/pyeQoy

I made some slight modifications while mostly sticking to the original sample mentioned above. Below is the code snippet for the AngularJS section.

Please ensure to check the pen settings in the provided example and include the necessary external JS files in your project, including jQuery, Materialize, and Angular libraries.

var app = angular.module("app", []);
app.controller("MainCtrl", function($scope) {
  console.log("In Angular MainCtrl");

  $scope.items = [
    {text: "Bing", url: "http://bing.com"},   
    {text: "ZDNet", url: "http://zdnet.com"},
    {text: "CNet", url: "http://cnet.com"}
  ]; 

  $('.dropdown-button').dropdown({
    belowOrigin: true, 
    alignment: 'left', 
    inDuration: 200,
    outDuration: 150,
    constrain_width: true,
    hover: false, 
    gutter: 1
  });
});
