add $hasFocus or $focused to forms

[IgorMinar]

just like we have $pristine and $dirty it would be great if we also allowed binding to $focus and $notFocused.

As part of our effort to clean out old issues, this issue is being automatically closed since it has been inactivite for over two months.

Please try the newest versions of Angular (1.0.8 and 1.2.0-rc.1), and if the issue persists, comment below so we can discuss it.

Thanks!

Unless I'm reading the docs wrong, this is still an issue.

You can just use ngFocus: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:ngFocus

Not sure you really need this.

[LukeSkyw]

Yes we do.
Otherwise why would we need $dirty or $valid? We could handle those by some custom directives. But this is not what angular is about.
So I think form.$focused is definitively needed.

+1 This is definitely needed. Consider the situation:

<div class="input-group">
        <input ng-model="formname.fieldname.val" name="fieldname" />

        <span class="input-group-addon">
              <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-time"></i>
        </span>
 </div>

I can do:

input:focus + .input-group-addon .glyphicon { color: $focusColor; }

But I cannot do this if I want the icon-group-addon before the input. $focus flag on form models would solve this.

<div class="input-group">
       <span class="input-group-addon">
              <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-time" 
                 ng-class="{ 'focus': formname.fieldname.$focus }"></i>
        </span>
        <input ng-model="formname.fieldname.val" name="fieldname" />        
 </div>
