ng-fallback-src

replace 404s with some default asset, for better [empty] states.

Install

npm install --save ng-fallback-src

bower install --save ng-fallback-src

Example Usage

This was originally meant for img tags only, but theoretically it could work for any element with a src tag. This theory is untested so use at your own risk.

<img ng-src="{{someFlakyVar}}" fallback-src="{{someReliableUrl}}" />

Note: if someFlakyVar can be falsy, you'll need to account for it separately, e.g.

<img ng-src="{{someFlakyVar || someReliableUrl}}" 
  fallback-src="{{someReliableUrl}}" />

since most browsers won't actually fire the error event if the src is empty.
