AngularJS - Image "onload" event
Ok, jqLite' bind
method doing well its job. It goes like this:
We are adding directive' name as attribute in our img
tag . In my case , after loading and depending on its dimensions , image have to change its class name from "horizontal" to "vertical" , so directive's name will be "orientable" :
<img ng-src="image_path.jpg" class="horizontal" orientable />
And then we are creating simple directive like this:
var app = angular.module('myApp',[]);
app.directive('orientable', function () {
return {
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
element.bind("load" , function(e){
// success, "onload" catched
// now we can do specific stuff:
if(this.naturalHeight > this.naturalWidth){
this.className = "vertical";
}
});
}
}
});
Example (explicit graphics!): http://jsfiddle.net/5nZYZ/63/
Here's a re-usable directive in the style of angular's inbuilt event handling directives:
angular.module('sbLoad', [])
.directive('sbLoad', ['$parse', function ($parse) {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function (scope, elem, attrs) {
var fn = $parse(attrs.sbLoad);
elem.on('load', function (event) {
scope.$apply(function() {
fn(scope, { $event: event });
});
});
}
};
}]);
When the img load event is fired the expression in the sb-load attribute is evaluated in the current scope along with the load event, passed in as $event. Here's how to use it:
HTML
<div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<img sb-load="onImgLoad($event)">
</div>
JS
.controller("MyCtrl", function($scope){
// ...
$scope.onImgLoad = function (event) {
// ...
}
Note: "sb" is just the prefix I use for my custom directives.
