ng-really? An AngularJS directive that creates a confirmation dialog for an action.

ng-really.js

/**
 * A generic confirmation for risky actions.
 * Usage: Add attributes: ng-really-message="Are you sure"? ng-really-click="takeAction()" function
 */
angular.module('app').directive('ngReallyClick', [function() {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
            element.bind('click', function() {
                var message = attrs.ngReallyMessage;
                if (message && confirm(message)) {
                    scope.$apply(attrs.ngReallyClick);
                }
            });
        }
    }
}]);

Thank you!

@dhlavaty it's more like a logic leak. If something removes this attribute (which is rare though), this handler will still be there, and clicking the element will trigger the functionality. If this element is removed from the DOM, the click handler is cleaned up and as such, it would be cleaned up properly. I haven't seen directives or other angular code which dynamically fiddles with the existence of attributes. Taking this into consideration, this directive can be considered safe.

In my case, I use ng-really for a delete action. I have a table with records, and each record has (in last column) a DELETE button with ng-really. When user confirms deletion, particular record is deleted from collection and Angular will "repaint" the table (a.k.a. removes the whole table row with record). And now I'm not really sure, if Angular will safely remove 'click' handler itself or not.

PS: Of course, using '$destroy' event as described above is a good practice, but I'm still wondering if I understand it correctly.

Thanks :D

Awesome thank you!

so easy & so awesome! thank you so much!

+1 Thank you!

Thanks. Very straight forward and useful.

it's really helpful!

Clean and simple. Thanks.

This is great and easy to use. Thanks!

Looks good but, i dont know why but my confirm action is called twice (so http ajax) loading the page for two times... is there any reason ?
(script included only once)
áááááh the directive was included for twice time ..sorry ! ;)

Is this available as a module through Bower?

hello, thank it served me.
a query, if confirmed execute an action , but if not confirmed , I just submit the form , I need to do nothing , to if
if ( message && confirm ( message) ) {
$ scope apply ( attrs.ngReallyClick ) . ;
} else {
$ scope apply ( void (0 ) ) . ;
}

I put something, so you do not run nothing but works for me , just send the form where I have incorporated ng - really- click

great job! worked perfectly!

great snippet!

Thanks!

Top! Thank you.

This is so great. Thanks!

Awesome man! 👍

Beginner saved. Tnahk you!

FYI - you don't need to clean this up afterwards w/ $destroy because the element that has the event listener is already being removed which also kills the bind (personally though, I would use on over bind
