AngularJS directive ng-hide hides an element if the expression ng-hide evaluates to true. Under the hood it adds or removes class ng-hide to the element. The .ng-hide CSS class is predefined in AngularJS and sets the display style to none (using an !important flag).
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller='MyCtrl'> <label>Select checkbox to hide: <input type="checkbox" ng-model="doHide"></label><br/> <span ng-hide="doHide"><strong>Hide this text</strong></span> </div> <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.5.3/angular.min.js"></script> <script> var module = angular.module('myApp', []); module.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope) {}); </script>
