How to handle big list of items in drop-down angular-ui?
You could just have a css rule to define that, for dropdown-menu.
.dropdown-menu{
max-height: 300px; /*Provide height in pixels or in other units as per your layout*/
overflow-y: auto; /*Provide an auto overflow to diaply scroll*/
}
Plnkr
Or in general you may want your application to have its own styled dropdown, in such cases add a custom class and rule for your dropdowns (So that you website does not look like a bootstrap website :) ) an example:-
angular.module('plunker', ['ui.bootstrap']);
function DropdownCtrl($scope) {
$scope.items = [];
for(i=0; i<100; i++){
$scope.items.push("val_" + i);
}
$scope.status = {
isopen: false
};
$scope.toggled = function(open) {
console.log('Dropdown is now: ', open);
};
$scope.toggleDropdown = function($event) {
$event.preventDefault();
$event.stopPropagation();
$scope.status.isopen = !$scope.status.isopen;
};
}.btn-group.myapp-select .btn.dropdown-toggle{
color:blue;
background:#cecece;
border-radius:2px;
}
.btn-group.myapp-select.open .btn.dropdown-toggle{
background-color: #afafaf;
font-weight: bold;
}
.myapp-select > ul.dropdown-menu{
max-height: 300px;
overflow-y: auto;
border-radius:2px;
}
.myapp-select > ul.dropdown-menu > li{
color:blue;
background:#cecece;
