When I'm trying to get the value of input element using angular.element, its returning undefined.
Here is my code:
$scope.registerUser = function() {
console.log(angular.element('#username').value); // undefined
console.log(document.getElementById('username').value); // sampleName
};
How do I get the value using angular.element
You should use val method similar to jQuery's $.fn.val:
console.log(angular.element('#username').val());
Alternatively you can use value property of the pure HTMLInputELement:
console.log(angular.element('#username')[0].value);
... because angular.element instance is an array-like collection of HTMLElements with every element accessible by its index.
But... You should never read input value like this in context of Angular app. Instead, use ngModel directive and bind input value to angular model directly:
$scope.registerUser = function() {
console.log($scope.username);
};
where in HTML you have
<input type=text ng-model=username>
