JavaScript - Dynamically Create Link Using AngularJS

Submitted by razormist on Monday, July 1, 2019 - 19:17.

In this tutorial we will create a Dynamically Create Link using AngularJS. This code will create a url link when user enter the link in the given textbox. The code itself use AngularJS directives ng-click() to initiate a method that store the data inputs to an array in order to display it as a readable table format. This a user-friendly program feel free to modify and use it to your system. We will be using AngularJS as a framework which has additional custom HTML attributes embedded into it. It can interprets those attributes as directives to bind inputted parts of the page to a model that represent as a standard JavaScript variables.

Getting Started:

First you have to download Bootstrap, this is the link for the bootstrap that i used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/. And, this is the link for the AngularJS https://angularjs.org/.

Creating The Interface

This is where we will create a simple form for our application. To create the forms simply copy and write it into you text editor, then save it index.html.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" ng-app="myModule">
        <head>
                <meta charset="UTF-8"  name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
                <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css" />
        </head>
<body ng-controller="myController">
        <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
                <div class="containet-fluid">
                        <a class="navbar-brand" href="https://www.sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
                </div>
        </nav>
        <div class="col-md-3"></div>
        <div class="col-md-6 well">
                <h3 class="text-primary">JavaScript - Dynamically Create Link Using AngularJS</h3>
                <hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
                <div class="col-md-3"></div>
                <div class="col-md-6">
                        <div class="form-inline">
                                <input type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="newLink.url" style="width:180px;"/>
                                <button ng-click="saveUrl()" class="btn btn-success"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-plus"></span> Add Link</button>
                        </div>
                        <br ><br />
                        <table class="table table-bordered">
                                <thead class="alert-info">
                                        <tr>
                                                <th>URL Link</th>
                                        </tr>
                                </thead>
                                <tbody>
                                        <tr ng-repeat="link in links">
                                                <td><a href="{{link.url}}">{{link.url}}</a></td>
                                        </tr>
                                </tbody>
                        </table>
                </div>
        </div>  
</body>
<script src = "js/angular.js"></script>
<script src = "js/script.js"></script>  
</html>

Creating the Main Function

This code contains the main function of the application. This code will generate an url link when the button is clicked. To do this just copy and write these block of codes as shown below inside the text editor and save it as script.js inside the js directory.

var app = angular.module("myModule", [])
                                                           .controller("myController", function($scope){
                        
                                                                $scope.newLink = {};
                                                                
                                                                $scope.links = [
                                                                        {url:"https://sourcecodester.com"}
                                                                ];
                                                                
                                                                $scope.saveUrl = function(){
                                                                        $scope.links.push($scope.newLink);
                                                                        $scope.newLink = {};
                                                                };              
                                                                
                                                });
