Setting 'floor' and 'ceiling' with data-bind

[henrahmagix]

There are many attributes that don't get parsed as an angular expression: floor and ceiling are such attributes. The others can be seen here.

Not being parsed as an angular expression means you need to use {{ }} to get the value from an angular variable, like so:

<slider ng-model="sliderModel" floor="{{ floorValue }}" ceiling="100">

where sliderModel and floorValue are angular variables, and 100 is a string representing an integer.

Thanks for the quick response! That was what I was trying but it was not working. Found out it was a conflict with the twig templating syntax which uses the brackets also for its controllers.

Just out of curiosity, how do you guys decide which attributes get parsed as an angular expression and which not?

[henrahmagix]

When setting up the attributes one wants from a directive, they can be set to = (angular parsing), @ (no parsing), or & (use parent scope). This is decided on the directive.

Often you will get parsing errors when trying to pass a value of 100 to an = attribute, which is why this library is setup to allow values to be placed straight into the config attributes: so you can write floor="0" ceiling="100" without having to resort to setting variables on the scope.

I see, thank you again for your thorough explanation!

You're welcome =)

I was having the same problem, maybe that's worth putting in the readme file ?
Thanks a lot for this module anyway, it's extremely usefull for our class projet :)

Yeah, I'll try to make it more explicit in the readme.
