Ng show if the variable is a number

Question

I want to display an element only if a value is a number. How to do this? I tried :

• ng-show='angular.isNumber(10)'
• ng-show='isNumber(10)'

Solution 1

Add to your scope:

$scope.isNumber = angular.isNumber;

and then use:

ng-show="isNumber(10)"

Solution 2

<div ng-controller="Ctrl" ng-show="isNumber(num)">
    AAA
</div>

function Ctrl($scope){
    $scope.num = '10';

    $scope.isNumber= function (n) {
      return !isNaN(parseFloat(n)) && isFinite(n);
    }
}

Here's a JS Fiddle http://jsfiddle.net/7RD47/

It uses the top answer from Validate decimal numbers in JavaScript - IsNumeric(), which is a more complete way of validating numbers.

Please link to documentation for isNumeric, if it exists. I don't believe it's native to JS or to Angular, given discussions such as stackoverflow.com/questions/18082.

Does this works for string input? I dont think so. This just checks the type of the parameter you passing into
