angularjs - What's the best way to cancel event propagation between nested ng-click calls?

Answer


Answer




Here's an example. Let's say I want to have an image overlay like a lot of sites. So when you click a thumbnail, a black overlay appears over your whole window, and a larger version of the image is centered in it. Clicking the black overlay dismisses it; clicking the image will call a function that shows the next image.



The html:









The javascript:



function OverlayCtrl($scope) {
$scope.hideOverlay = function() {

// Some code to hdie the overlay
}
$scope.nextImage = function() {
// Some code to find and display the next image
}
}


The problem is that with this setup, if you click the image, both nextImage() and hideOverlay() are called. But what I want is for only nextImage() to be called.




I know you can capture and cancel the event in the nextImage() function like this:



if (window.event) {
window.event.stopPropagation();
}


...But I want to know if there's a better AngularJS way of doing it that won't require me to prefix all of the functions on elements inside the overlay with this snippet.


Answer



What @JosephSilber said, or pass the $event object into ng-click callback and stop the propagation inside of it:









$scope.nextImage = function($event) {
$event.stopPropagation();
// Some code to find and display the next image
}
