How to Implement "Show More" and "Hide Details" in an AngularJS Modal Template

If you're working with AngularJS and you’re trying to create a modal template that will present detailed information in a clean and efficient way, you might have encountered the challenge of implementing a toggle feature. This feature would allow users to view important fields first, and upon clicking a button, reveal additional details. In this guide, we'll dive into how to transform your initial implementation which relies on JavaScript and HTML, into a more Angular-centric solution.

The Problem: Current Implementation

In your current setup, you've created an accordion-style modal using AngularJS, but you're utilizing JavaScript for the toggle functionality. Here's a brief look at the structure of your modal:

You’ve manually handled the button click to toggle the display between important fields and the entire JSON response using JavaScript functions:

The Goal

Your goal is to implement this feature using AngularJS' built-in features to handle the toggle functionality, which will lead to cleaner, more maintainable code.

The Solution: Angular Way

Approach 1: Using [hidden] Attribute

The simplest way to toggle the visibility of elements in AngularJS is to use the [hidden] attribute. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Update the Template

You'll adjust your modal template to use Angular’s features:

Step 2: Modify the Component Logic

In your Angular component, you'll add a variable to control the visibility:

Approach 2: Using *ngIf

Another efficient way to toggle content is to use *ngIf, which is particularly beneficial as it removes the element from the DOM instead of simply hiding it.

Step 1: Update the Template with *ngIf

You'd update your modal template like this:

Key Differences

The main difference between using [hidden] and *ngIf is that:

[hidden] keeps the element in the DOM and simply hides it with display: none;.

*ngIf completely removes the element from the DOM.

Conclusion

Transitioning from a JavaScript-based approach to more Angular-friendly practices has several advantages, including cleaner code, improved performance, and better maintainability. By utilizing either the [hidden] attribute or *ngIf, you can effectively toggle details in your AngularJS modal template.
