Using bootstrap collapse with angularjs

I'm trying to include the below bootstrap collapsible panel in my angular application. However, when I click on "Expand", angular seems to see href="#collapseOne" and then redirects to the home page instead of collapsing the panel. My routing looks like this, and I think the otherwise({redirectTo: '/home'}); is causing the problem. Any suggestions?

angular.module('App')
.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) { 
$routeProvider.
  when('/users', {templateUrl: 'partials/users/user-list.html', controller: 'UserCtrl'}).
  when('/users/new', {templateUrl: 'partials/users/user-new.html', controller: 'UserNewCtrl'}).
  when('/users/:userid', {templateUrl: 'partials/users/user-detail.html', controller: 'UserDetailCtrl'}).
  

  otherwise({redirectTo: '/home'});
}]);

The panel-

<div class="panel-group" id="accordion">
  <div class="panel panel-default">
    <div class="panel-heading">
      <h4 class="panel-title">
        <a data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" href="#collapseOne">
          Expand
        </a>
      </h4>
    </div>
    <div id="collapseOne" class="panel-collapse collapse in">
      <div class="panel-body">
        ...
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
  </div>

As mentionned in a similar question Here, simply change your href by the data-target attribute

<div class="panel-group" id="accordion">
  <div class="panel panel-default">
    <div class="panel-heading">
      <h4 class="panel-title">
        <a href="javascript:;" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" data-target="#collapseOne">
          Expand
        </a>
      </h4>
    </div>
    <div id="collapseOne" class="panel-collapse collapse in">
      <div class="panel-body">
        ...
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

You can use the accordion directive from AngularJS UI Bootstrap that builds on top of twitter bootstrap the collapse directive.

example:

 <accordion >
    <accordion-group heading="Static Header, initially expanded" is-open="true">
      This content is straight in the template.
    </accordion-group>
 </accordion>

I had the same issue, and I didn't want to add an additional library beyond bootstrap. As recommended, you can usedata-target="#your-collapsing-element", removing the href attribute completely.

#The basics

To make a panel collapse you need:

1. On the element used to trigger collapse:

   data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#my-collapsing-element"
   

2. On the element that collapses:

   id="my-collapsing-element"
   

3. On the element wrapping both the "trigger" element and the collapsing element:

   class="panel"
   

#Putting it all together

You can optionally add parent elements to make it part of a group, and add add the css classes "collapse in" to the collapsing element to make its default state closed. A full example:

<div id="accordion">
    <div class="panel">
        <a data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" data-target="#collapse1">
            Heading 1
        </a>
        <div id="collapse1">
            Content for panel 1
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="panel">
        <a data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" data-target="#collapse2">
            Heading 2
        </a>
        <div id="collapse2" class="collapse in">
            Content for panel 2
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

You can get better button behaviors by using a <button> element rather than an <a>. Overriding bootstrap's styling for .panel can be done by adding your own styling for the panel css class.

<div class="panel its-my-panel">

.panel.its-my-panel {
  margin-bottom: 0;
  background-color: transparent;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 0;
  -webkit-box-shadow: none;
  box-shadow: none;
}

.my-panel-heading {
  cursor: pointer;
}
/* Overrides for .panel--theonly required bootstrap class */

.panel.my-panel-overrides {
  margin-bottom: 0;
  background-color: transparent;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 0;
  -webkit-box-shadow: none;
  box-shadow: none;
}

        Collapsible Group 1</a>
    <div id="collapse1" class="collapse in">
      Content for panel 1
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="panel my-panel-overrides">
    <a class="my-panel-heading" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" data-target="#collapse2">
        Collapsible Group 2</a>
    <div id="collapse2" class="collapse">
      Content for panel 2
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="panel my-panel-overrides">
    <a class="my-panel-heading" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" data-target="#collapse3">
        Collapsible Group 3</a>
    <div id="collapse3" class="collapse">
      Content for panel 3
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

1. Change all href in order to expand-collapse to data-target.
2. data-target and id of the div to be expanded and collapsed should not contain hyphen.

Click the buttons below to show and hide another element via class changes:

• collapse hides content

• collapsing is applied during transitions

• collapse.in shows content

You can use a link with the href attribute, or a button with the data-target attribute. In both cases, the data-toggle="collapse" is required.

check this example below.
