Simple Popup

[Anna Vester]

Hello group, so I've been toying around with creating a simple popup, here is my fiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/annavester/VdfVp/5/

Now, i want it to work as close as possible to the angular way. Is it getting there? Also, for some reason, it only fires on the first click event. I believe I have mishandled something in the directive.

Any tips on how to improve this are very welcome.

Thanks.

Anna

Hi Anna,

I guess that everyone has a slightly different opinion on what the
AngularJS way but for me:

1) I would avoid jQuery if I can. Don't get me wrong, jQuery is great
but many times we can get away with the built-in jquery light. I'm
simply trying to avoid dependencies if I can.

2) Somehow I like the model to drive everything, here is my take at
the problem: http://jsfiddle.net/JMWnt/4/

3) The above implementation has an issue since we are listening to the
mouseout on a button, why people would probably expect it to act on
the popup. The whole thing can be done without using directives:
http://jsfiddle.net/NRpdK/3/; I guess that you were doing this to
learn directives - in this case you might have a look at Andy's
implementation of the boostrap's modal:
https://github.com/angular-ui/bootstrap/blob/master/src/modal/modal.js
which deals with show / hide problematic.

Hope this helps,
Pawel

Pawel, 

This is really neat. I really like the model version. Thanks for this.
