angular-disqus

angular.js and disqus integration made easy

A set of directive(s) and services to simplify the life of developers.

NOTICE!

This library is no longer activly maintained by me. However, If you feel like you should be the one who will continue maintaing it then please contact me.

Getting started

---

(1) Add ngDisqus to required modules list:

   var myApp = angular.module('myApp', ['ngDisqus']);

(2) Register your shortname:

This is the unique identifier assigned to your Disqus app, can be found on disqus.com > Admin. https://shortname.disqus.com

   myApp.config(function($disqusProvider){
      $disqusProvider.setShortname(shortname);
   });

(3) Add comments to threads by using the disqus directive:

    <!-- directive can be used as an attribute -->
    <div disqus="id"></div>

    <!-- directive can be used as a class attribute -->
    <div class="disqus: id"></div>

Additional Changes

---

Disqus will only work on sites which use hashbang ( #! ). A valid url looks like this, http://localhost:8000/#!/home/comments/10

Update config block liks this:

   myApp.config(function($disqusProvider, $locationProvider){
      $locationProvider.hashPrefix('!');
   })

This changes your link from http://localhost:8000/#/home/comments/10 to the valid form above.

Disqus identifiers

---

Disqus identifiers must be passed to the directive as as expressions. If the plan is to pass a variable then one must make sure that the variable is wrapped in ' apostrophes (disqus="'id'"")

Comment count

---

Angular-disqus will display comment using the data-disqus-identifier attribute.

Normal Link:

  <a href="#!/home/comments/10" data-disqus-identifier="randomString"></a>

Ui router:

  <a ui-sref="home.comments.view({id: video.id})" data-disqus-identifier="randomString"></a>

This will replace the content of the anchor tag with given comment count.

There is some talk of this in the disqus spec

API

---

1. $disqus#getShortname getter for the current shortname
2. $disqus#comment will reset comments (or generate comments if needed)
3. $disqusProvider#setShortname setter for shortname
4. $loadCount initiates the thread comment count loading (generally should not be used)

---

  bower install angular-disqus --save
