Angular Track Height

Watch an element for the min or/and max height then save it for use somewhere else

Mostly to avoid flicker on ui-view/ng-view when it changes height.

Install

Bower

$ bower install angular-track-height --save

NPM

$ npm install angular-track-height --save

Requires requestAnimationFrame

Usage

Directives

track-height

Tracks the height of an element for usage somewhere else, like inside a controller or inside other directives.

<div track-height="{{ ctrl.nameit }}" class="some-element" ui-view=""></div>

track-height-apply

You can set the min and max, depending on the options you pass to it.

By passing "min", the min-height will be set to the mininum value the element ever had (can be 0)

By passing "max", the min-height will be set to the max value the element ever had

By passing "min max", the height will be set to the max value the element ever had (might have problems with heavily responsive elements)

<div track-height="nameit" track-height-apply="min max" class="some-element" ui-view=""></div>

Service
