How do I escape curly braces for display on page when using AngularJS?
AngularjsAngularjs Problem Overview
I want the user to see double curly braces, but Angular binds them automatically. This is the opposite case of this question where they want to not see curly braces used for binding when the page is loading.
I want the user to see this:
My name is {{person.name}}.
But Angular replaces {{person.name}}
with the value. I thought this might work, but angular still replaces it with the value:
{{person.name}}
Angularjs Solutions
Solution 1 - Angularjs
<code ng-non-bindable>{{person.name}}</code>
Documentation @ ngNonBindable
Solution 2 - Angularjs
Edit: adding \ slash between brackets inside the quotes works
{{ "{{ person.name }\}" }}
this too .. by passes angular interpreting
{{ person.name }<!---->}
this too ..
{{ person.name }<x>}
{{ person.name }<!>}
Solution 3 - Angularjs
In our case we wanted to present curly brackets in a placeholder, so they needed to appear inside an HTML attribute. We used this:
<input placeholder="{{ 'Hello {' + '{person.name}' + '}!' }}" ...>
As you can see, we are building up a string from three smaller strings, in order to keep the curly braces separated.
'Hello {' + '{person.name}' + '}!'
This avoids using ng-non-bindable
so we can continue to use ng-
attributes elsewhere on the element.
Solution 4 - Angularjs
Updated for Angular 9
Use ngNonBindable
to escape interpolation binding.
<div ngNonBindable>
My name is {{person.name}}
</div>
Solution 5 - Angularjs
Use ng-non-bindable
in container, this is effective on all element inside here container.
<div ng-non-bindable>
<span>{{person.name}}</span>
<img src="#" alt="{{person.name}}">
<input placeholder="{{person.name}}">
</div>
Solution 6 - Angularjs
<span>{{</span>{{variable.name}}<span>}}</span>
Solution 7 - Angularjs
I wanted single brackets across text and the above solutions didn't work for me. So did want the Angular recommended.
Angular Version: 5
Required Text: My name is {person.name}.
<span>My name is {{'{'}}person.name{{'}'}}.</span>
I hope it helps someone.
Solution 8 - Angularjs
From Angular compiler:
Unexpected character "EOF" (Do you have an unescaped "{" in your template? Use "{{ '{' }}") to escape it.)
So in the original question - you would end up with:
My name is {{ '{' }}{{ '{' }}person.name{{ '}' }}{{ '}' }}
