What is the best way to conditionally apply a class?

Question

Lets say you have an array that is rendered in a ul with an li for each element and a property on the controller called selectedIndex.

Answer 1

Here is a much simpler solution:

function MyControl($scope){
    $scope.values = ["a","b","c","d","e","f"];
    $scope.selectedIndex = -1;
    
    $scope.toggleSelect = function(ind){
        if( ind === $scope.selectedIndex ){
            $scope.selectedIndex = -1;
        } else{
            $scope.selectedIndex = ind;
        }
    }
    
    $scope.getClass = function(ind){
        if( ind === $scope.selectedIndex ){
            return "selected";
        } else{
            return "";
        }
    }
       
    $scope.getButtonLabel = function(ind){
        if( ind === $scope.selectedIndex ){
            return "Deselect";
        } else{
            return "Select";
        }
    }
}

.selected {
    color:red;
}

    

        
{{value}} {{getButtonLabel($index)}}
    
    
Selected: {{selectedIndex}}
