Definition and Usage

The ng-if directive removes the HTML element if the expression evaluates to false.

If the if statement evaluates to true, a copy of the Element is added in the DOM.

The ng-if directive is different from the ng-hide, which hides the display of the element, where the ng-if directive completely removes the element from the DOM.


Syntax

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

Supported by all HTML elements.


Parameter Values

Value Description
expression An expression that will completely remove the element if it returns false. If it returns true, a copy of the element will be inserted instead.
