Description

This package is the dynamic id generator for AngularJS.

See @zthun/identifier.core for the general problem and solution that this package attempts to solve.

WARNING: This will be the last major.minor version published for @zthun/identifier.angularjs. The only remaing patches that will be published will be for the case of one of the following criteria.

• A bug is found in the current production release of @zthun/identifier.angularjs that is critical and there is no workaround.
• A release of angular 1.7.x that will cause the current production version of @zthun/identifier.angularjs to stop working.

How to Use

Install the package from npm into your project.

npm install @zthun/identifier.angularjs --save

In your Angular main module, add the zthun.zidentifier module to your list of dependencies.

import { module } from 'angular';
module('my-module', ['zthun.identifier']);

This gives you access to the zid attribute directive. You can now dynamically generate ids based on your root component.

<div id="root">
    <div zid="component">
        <div zid="child-one"></div>
        <div zid="child-two"></div>
    </div>
</div>

The attribute can be bound to context data as well.

<div id="root">
    <div zid="component">
        <div ng-repeat="item in items" zid="child-{{item.id}}">
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

This will output the following HTML.

<div id="root">
    <div id="root-component">
        <div id="root-component-child-one"></div>
        <div id="root-component-child-two"></div>
    </div>
</div>

You can also use this for labels.

<div id="root">
    <form id="root-form">
        <label zfor="input">My Label</label>
        <input zid="input" type="text">
    </form>
</div>
