angular-nestable 0.0.1 Bower version

###DEMO: check out the demo here

###DESCRIPTION: angular-nestable is a module for AngularJS that uses the jQuery nestable plugin to create multi-sortable lists with the ability to nest items within each other.

###INSTALLATION

Either run bower install ng-nestable or download angular-nestable.js form the repository directly.

Include the module in your app dependency:

angular.module('yourAppModule', ['ng-nestable']);

Note that this module requires jQuery and jQuery nestable plugin.

###USAGE:

<div ng-nestable ng-model="items">
	<div>
		<!-- this element is the template for each menu item -->
		<!-- the $item is available on scope and is the reference to the menu item object -->
		{{$item}}
	</div>
</div>

Example items object structure:

[
	{
		item: {}, // this object will be referenced as the $item on scope
		children: []
	},
	{
		item: {},
		children: [
			{
				item: {},
				children: []
			}
		]
	},
	{
		item: {},
		children: []
	}
]

Each nestable element in the DOM gets it's own non-isolated scope just like with ng-repeat.

Also the options object can be passed to the directive as the ng-nestable attribute. Those options will be passed to the jQuery nestable function when creating a nestable.

===

The module also exposes a $nestableProvider that can be injected into a config block. It provides two methods:

  • $nestableProvider.modelName(str) - can be used to set the model name variable inside each nestable element. The default value of model name is $item.

  • $nestableProvider.defaultOptions(obj) - can be used to set some default options for the nestable jquery plugin. Those options include the following: (extract from the jQuery nestable readme)

     maxDepth        : number of levels an item can be nested (default 5)
     group           : group ID to allow dragging between lists (default 0)
    
     listNodeName    : The HTML element to create for lists (default 'ol')
     itemNodeName    : The HTML element to create for list items (default 'li')
     rootClass       : The class of the root element .nestable() was used on (default 'dd')
     listClass       : The class of all list elements (default 'dd-list')
     itemClass       : The class of all list item elements (default 'dd-item')
     dragClass       : The class applied to the list element that is being dragged (default 'dd-dragel')
     handleClass     : The class of the content element inside each list item (default 'dd-handle')
     collapsedClass  : The class applied to lists that have been collapsed (default 'dd-collapsed')
     placeClass      : The class of the placeholder element (default 'dd-placeholder')
     emptyClass      : The class used for empty list placeholder elements (default 'dd-empty')
     expandBtnHTML   : The HTML text used to generate a list item expand button (default '<button data-action="expand">Expand></button>')
     collapseBtnHTML : The HTML text used to generate a list item collapse button (default '<button data-action="collapse">Collapse</button>')

Also note that the ng-sortable directive uses ngModelController to read and write to the provided model object and is fully compliant with $formatters and $parsers.
