Sets the readOnly attribute on the element, if the expression inside ngReadonly is truthy.

A special directive is necessary because we cannot use interpolation inside the readOnly attribute. See the interpolation guide for more info.

This directive executes at priority level 100.

Usage

as attribute:

<INPUT
  ng-readonly="expression">
...
</INPUT>

Arguments

Param	Type	Details
ngReadonly	expression	If the expression is truthy, then special attribute "readonly" will be set on the element

Example

Edit in Plunker

<label>Check me to make text readonly: <input type="checkbox" ng-model="checked"></label><br/>
<input type="text" ng-readonly="checked" value="I'm Angular" aria-label="Readonly field" />

it('should toggle readonly attr', function() {
  expect(element(by.css('[type="text"]')).getAttribute('readonly')).toBeFalsy();
  element(by.model('checked')).click();
  expect(element(by.css('[type="text"]')).getAttribute('readonly')).toBeTruthy();
});
