How to integrate AngularUI to AngularJS?


Steps to integrate:

  • Include jQuery and jQuery-ui (best served from a CDN)
  • Include angular (it is the best to include if from a CDN)
  • Include angular-ui JS / CSS (currently only hosted in the GitHub repository in the build folder)
  • Include any jQuery plugins for the directives you are planning to use
  • Declare dependencies on the angular-ui modules (ui.directives or ui.filters depending on what you are planning to use).

Most of the outlined steps are just about including JS/CSS dependencies. The only "tricky" part is to declare dependencies on a ui.* module, you can do it like this:

var myApp = angular.module('myApp',['ui.directives']);

Once all the dependencies are included and a module configured you are ready to go. For example, using the ui-date directive is as simple as (notice the ui-date):

<input name="dateField" ng-model="date" ui-date>

Here is the complete jsFiddle showing how to use the ui-date directive: http://jsfiddle.net/r7UJ2/11/

You might also want to have a look at the sources of the http://angular-ui.github.com/ where there are live examples off all the directives.


As of 3rd of May 2013, here are the steps:

include

    <script src="angular.min.js"></script>    <script src="ui-bootstrap-tpls-0.3.0.min.js"></script>

register ui

    angular.module('myFancyApp', ['ui.bootstrap']);

make sure myFancyApp is the same as in your <html ng-app="myFancyApp">

Let the magic commence.


I think what is missing is plugins - you've got to add the jquery plugin scripts and css for some angular-ui directives to work. For example the codemirror directive needs:

    <script src="http://codemirror.net/lib/codemirror.js" type="text/javascript"></script>    <script src="http://codemirror.net/lib/util/runmode.js" type="text/javascript"></script><link rel="stylesheet" href="http://codemirror.net/lib/codemirror.css" type="text/css" />

It's a surprise to me that angular-ui.github.com doesn't mention needing to include plugins.
