Definition and Usage

The ng-class directive dynamically binds one or more CSS classes to an HTML element.

The value of the ng-class directive can be a string, an object, or an array.

If it is a string, it should contain one or more, space-separated class names.

As an object, it should contain key-value pairs, where the key is the class name of the class you want to add, and the value is a boolean value. The class will only be added if the value is set to true.

As an array, it can be a combination of both. Each array element can be either a string, or an object, described as above.


Syntax

<element ng-class="expression"></element>

Supported by all HTML elements.
