How to change CSS when it's ng-disabled? - css

Question

I have this button:
<input type="submit" value="#Translator.Translate("PAYOUT")"
class="btn-block secondary-button save-changes padding-8"
ng-disabled="PayoutEnabled==false" ng-click="PayOut()" />
But even when it's disabled it has the same class as it's enabled, just not clickable. I want to change background when it's disabled so that user can see that button, is disabled. How can I do that? Do I need some ng-disabled CSS class or there is some other way?

Answer 1

What Toress answered should work fine but you don't need the help of AngularJS here at all (a native implementation & usage is always best).
You can make use of CSS3 since you already have a class on it. Example:
input.save-changes {
/* some style when the element is active */
}
input.save-changes[disabled] {
/* styles when the element is disabled */
background-color: #ddd;
}
Edit: You can immediately test it on this page of StackOverflow. Just inspect the blue button element and put the disabled attribute and see it's CSS.
.save-changes {
background-color: red;
padding: 7px 13px;
color: white;
border: 1px solid red;
font-weight: bold;
}
.save-changes[disabled] {
background-color: #FF85A1
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app ng-init="PayoutEnabled = true">
<a href="#" ng-click="PayoutEnabled = !PayoutEnabled">
{{PayoutEnabled ? 'Disable' : 'Enable'}} the below button</a>
<br>
<br>
<input class="save-changes" type="submit" value="PAYOUT" ng-disabled="PayoutEnabled == false" />
</div>

Answer 2

use ng-class
<input type="submit" value="#Translator.Translate("PAYOUT")" class="btn-block
secondary-button save-changes padding-8" ng-disabled="PayoutEnabled==false"
ng-click="PayOut()" ng-class="{'diabled-class': !PayoutEnabled}" />
this will add css class diabled-class to the input when PayoutEnabled is false (!PayoutEnabled is true).

Answer 3

AngularJS adds pseudo-class disabled when ng-disabled is false so i think here is the simplest solution to refer to disabled button :
button:disabled {
color:#717782;
}

Answer 4

In case you are using Bootstrap and a more recent Angular version than AngularJs you can ovverride the default style adding this to the styles.css file
.btn.disabled, .btn:disabled {
opacity: .35 !important;
background-color: gray !important;
}
The higher the opacity the darker or more solid the color will be.
