ng-class?

When I code ng-class="{'div.actions': editing}"; or ng-class="{'editing-item': editing}"; I always have some little padding when I click edit. Am I miss something? Please take a look on my workspace: https://w.trhou.se/q36dog428u

Your ng-class directive should read:

ng-class="{'editing-item': editing}"

This applies the CSS class .editing-item to the .item div when the editing variable is true.

Your ng-class directive is incorrect. There's no need to include 'div.actions', as that's not a CSS class and the ng-class directive is already living in the div in on to which the new class will be applied.

Only include the .editing-item class in the first part of the directive.

Ok, but why're we using object to set value? Is that because we use CSS selector or that's just a way that ng-class work?

Thanks
