The AngularJS allows us to create navigation menus in one page web applications in a very simple way. The following code sample shows that.
The following is the HTML file that includes a script element that refers the AngularJS library on Google servers.
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.0.4/angular.min.js"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="design.css" type="text/css" /> <title>simple navigation menu</title> </head> <body> <div id="main" ng-app> <nav class="{{cssclass}}" > <a href="#" class="home" ng-click="data='home...';active=true;cssclass='home'">Home</a> <a href="#" class="products" ng-click="data='products...';active=true;cssclass='products'">Products</a> <a href="#" class="services" ng-click="data='services...';active=true;cssclass='services'">Services</a> <a href="#" class="about" ng-click="data='about...';active=true;cssclass='about'">About</a> <a href="#" class="contact" ng-click="data='contact...';active=true;cssclass='contact'">Contact</a> </nav> <p ng-hide="active">click one of the menu options</p> <p ng-show="active">{{data}}</p> </div> </body> </html>
The following is the CSS file the HTML code uses. This CSS file is responsible for the look & feel we get.
body{ font:14px sans-serif; color: #688242; text-align:center; } nav{ display:inline-block; background-color:#6678f4; border-radius:5px; } nav a{ display:inline-block; padding: 10px 34px; color:#fefefe; font-size:14px; text-decoration:none; } nav a:first-child{ border-radius:5px 0 0 5px; } nav a:last-child{ border-radius:0 5px 5px 0; } nav.home .home, nav.products .products, nav.services .services, nav.about .about, nav.contact .contact{ background-color:#343212; } p{ font-size:20px; font-weight:bold; color:#7d9098; } p b{ color:#ffffff; display:inline-block; padding:5px 10px; background-color:#c4d7e0; border-radius:5px; font-size:16px; }
The following video clip overviews this code sample, shows its execution and explains each and every part of it.
