Angular: Convert parameter String inside ng-click

Question

is it possible to convert String to int inside ng-click?

I have this data

$scope.cartList = [{ number: "1"}];

So in my view i just call number using ng-repeat( ng-repeat="cart in cartList"). I use number for increment by using ng-click.

<button data-ng-click="increment = 0 + cart.number></button>
<span>{{increment}}</span>

So here I got problem during calculation, I know cart.number is String but is there any way to convert cart.number to int inside ng-click?

Answer 1

Your logic is wrong . you are calculated with 0, it can't increase the count . So you should calculate with latest increment value instead of 0.

Try this

<button data-ng-click="increment = increment + parseInt(cart.number)"></button>
<span>{{increment}}</span>

Please assign parseInt in a scope object in controller. then use that in button

$scope.parseInt = parseInt;

You can check the demo here:

angular.module("app",[])
function Homecontroller($scope)
{
$scope.cartList = [{ number: "1"}];
$scope.parseInt=parseInt;
}

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="app" ng-controller="Homecontroller">
<button data-ng-click="increment = increment + parseInt(cartList[0].number)">increase</button>
<span>{{increment}}</span>
 </div>
