why does angularJS treat spaces as empty?
angular-ngmodel, angularjs, javascript, jquery
Solution
The default behavior of angular is to trim the model value. So, if you want to listen to space in model you can set the flag ng-trim="false"
<input ng-model="test" ng-trim="false"/>
Problem
In angularJS, I have a input field bind with ng-model, have something show if input is not empty. ``` <input id="name" type="text" ng-model="typeSignature" placeholder="Type your name here"> <div ng-show="typeSignature==''"> Something</div> ``` When I press space key, the boolean of `typeSignature==''` is still true. However, in jQuery the boolean `$('#name').val() == ''` will be false if I have pressed space. Why is angularJS treating space differently? How can I make jQuery `val()` function consistent with anguLarJS, namely treating space as empty as well?
