Change your ng-attributes to data-ng-attributes for HTML5 validation
Ever tried to run an Angular HTML page into w3c validator? Yeah it's a mess.
HTML5 has a preset definition of valid tag elements, and also allows data-attributes.
Angular, being as great as it is, allows you set set custom directives, that don't pass the
w3c validations. Angular default directives come with an option to be named data-something.
If you are like me, it isn't fun using data-ng-include or data-ng-switch and prefer to use the shorter
versions. Using this module, you can easily convert the HTML attributes of Angular (and custom prefixes you want) to
valid HTML5 tags that start with data-something.
Turn this:
<html ng-app="myApp">
...
<body ng-controller="MainCtrl">
</body>
</html>
Into this:
<html data-ng-app="myApp">
...
<body data-ng-controller="MainCtrl">
</body>
</html>
angular-html5 looks for ng- directives by default and can handle the following cases:
<!-- attribute -->
<ANY ng-directive>
<!-- regular element -->
<ng-directive></ng-directive>
<!-- self closing element -->
<ng-directive />
<!-- custom directive prefix -->
<ui-router></ui-router>
<!-- your name prefix -->
<gilad-cool-loader></gilad-cool-loader>
You can add additional prefixes using the option customPrefixes.
This plugin plays nice with type="text/ng-template" and won't break it.
Install with npm
npm install --save-dev angular-html5
var htmlify = require('angular-html5')();
var str = fs.readFileSync('angular.html').toString();
var needsReplace = htmlify.test(str); //--> true if ng-attributes exist in file
if (needsReplace) {
str = htmlify.replace(str); //--> returns the modified string with transformed attributes
}
var htmlify = require('angular-html5')(params);
Test whether a string containing HTML has ng-attributes that can be transformed
to data-ng-attributes.
Usage: htmlify.test(str)
Accepts: string
Returns: Boolean
Return a transformed string that contains data-ng-attributes or relevant transformed attributes
for customPrefixes.
Usage: htmlify.replace(str)
Accepts: string
Returns: string
params is an object that contains the following settings:
Type: Array
Default: [ ]
An array to optionally add custom prefixes to the list of converted directives.
For example: ['ui-', 'gijo-']
By default only ng- prefixes are are handled. Any items you add here will be handled as well.
Note: for this to work - you will need to make sure your directives can load with a data- prefix.
Example Usage:
var str = require('angular-html5')({customPrefixes: ['ui-']}).replace(oldStr);
