Responsive dropdown navbar with angular-ui bootstrap (done in the correct angular kind of way)
AngularjsAngular UiAngular Ui-BootstrapAngularjs Problem Overview
I've created a JSFiddle with a dropdown navbar using angular-ui-boostrap's module "ui.bootstrap.dropdownToggle": http://jsfiddle.net/mhu23/2pmz5/
<div class="navbar navbar-fixed-top">
<div class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container"> <a class="brand" href="#">
My Responsive NavBar
</a>
<ul class="nav">
<li class="divider-vertical"></li>
<li class="dropdown"> <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle">
Menu 1 <b class="caret"></b>
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu">
<li><a href="#/list">Entry 1</a>
</li>
<li><a href="#/list">Entry 2</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
....
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
As far as I understand this is the proper, angular kind of way to implement such a dropdown menu. The "wrong" way, in terms of angularjs, would be to include bootstrap.js and to use "data-toggle="dropdown"... Am I right here?
Now I'd like to add responsive behaviour to my navbar as done in the following Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ghtC9/6/
BUT, there's something I don't like about the above solution. The guy included bootstrap.js!
So what would be the correct angular kind of way to add responsive behaviour to my existing navbar?
I obviously need to use bootstraps responsive navbar classes such as "nav-collapse collapse navbar-responsive-collapse". But I don't know how...
I'd really appreciate your help!
Thank you in advance! Michael

Based on antoinepairet's comment/example:
Using uib-collapse attribute provides animations: http://plnkr.co/edit/omyoOxYnCdWJP8ANmTc6?p=preview
<nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
<div class="navbar-header">
<!-- note the ng-init and ng-click here: -->
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" ng-init="navCollapsed = true" ng-click="navCollapsed = !navCollapsed">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Brand</a>
</div>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" uib-collapse="navCollapsed">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
...
</ul>
</div>
</nav>
Ancient..
I see that the question is framed around BS2, but I thought I'd pitch in with a solution for Bootstrap 3 using ng-class solution based on suggestions in ui.bootstrap issue 394:
The only variation from the official bootstrap example is the addition of ng- attributes noted by comments, below:
<nav class="navbar navbar-default" role="navigation">
<div class="navbar-header">
<!-- note the ng-init and ng-click here: -->
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" ng-init="navCollapsed = true" ng-click="navCollapsed = !navCollapsed">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Brand</a>
</div>
<!-- note the ng-class here -->
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" ng-class="{'in':!navCollapsed}">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
...
Here is an updated working example: http://plnkr.co/edit/OlCCnbGlYWeO7Nxwfj5G?p=preview (hat tip Lars)
This seems to works for me in simple use cases, but you'll note in the example that the second dropdown is cut off… good luck!
Solution 2 - Angularjs
You can do it using the "collapse" directive: http://jsfiddle.net/iscrow/Es4L3/ (check the two "Note" in the HTML).
<!-- Note: set the initial collapsed state and change it when clicking -->
<a ng-init="navCollapsed = true" ng-click="navCollapsed = !navCollapsed" class="btn btn-navbar">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</a>
<a class="brand" href="#">Title</a>
<!-- Note: use "collapse" here. The original "data-" settings are not needed anymore. -->
<div collapse="navCollapsed" class="nav-collapse collapse navbar-responsive-collapse">
<ul class="nav">
That is, you need to store the collapsed state in a variable, and changing the collapsed also by (simply) changing the value of that variable.
Release 0.14 added a uib- prefix to components:
https://github.com/angular-ui/bootstrap/wiki/Migration-guide-for-prefixes
Change: collapse to uib-collapse.

Not sure if anyone is having the same responsive issue, but it was just a simple css solution for me.
same example
... ng-init="isCollapsed = true" ng-click="isCollapsed = !isCollapsed"> ...
... div collapse="isCollapsed"> ...
with
@media screen and (min-width: 768px) {
.collapse{
display: block !important;
}
}
