Angular On Select Directive

Directive that allows for click-and-drag or just a click for highlighting words within any container regardless of type. The on-select attribute value is evaluated whenever a word or a group of words have been highlighted. The selection object is passed in as selection in the evaluated component.

Additionally, if auto-highlight is also present, upon selection the selected text is automatically highlighted. This is * effectively the same as calling selection.highlight(..) with some basic defaults.

If snap-to-word is present, the selected text is expanded to include whole words (including punctuation). If snap-to-word is turned on, simply clicking on a word is the same as highlighting the whole word.

Example Usage

The below example shows how to use on-select to automatically highlight a word and then after 2000ms the highlight is removed. This is a running demo here.

angular.module('example', ['onSelect'])
  .controller('ExampleController', function() {
    var vm = this;
    vm.handler = handler;
    return this;

    function handler(selection) {
      setTimeout(function() {
        selection.removeHighlight();
      }, 2000);
    };
  });

<div ng-controller="ExampleController as vm">
  <div on-select="vm.handler(selection);" auto-highlight snap-to-word>
    Bacon ipsum dolor amet ut beef ribs culpa...
  </div>
</div>
