Show submenu on mouseover using AngularJS after half a second

Question

I'm trying to create a navigation bar using AngularJS. I need to show and hide the submenu 'div.farm-links' on mouseover and mouseleave respectively on 'div.menu-links'.

I'm supposed to delay the mouseover on 'menu-links' by 0.5 sec, and similarily on mouseleave, the effect should happen after 0.5 sec. But somehow, this doesn't seem to work.

Could you please help me correct this? Also, is that possible to achieve using CSS only?

angular.module('topNavApp', ['ngAnimate']).controller('navCtrl', ['$scope', '$timeout', function($scope, $timeout){
  $scope.pageData = {

Answer 1

It's impossible to implement via pure CSS. The issue is in your this.hovering variable, in your case it should be $scope.hovering instead.

$scope.showDiv = function() {
  $timeout(function() {
    $scope.hovering = true;
  }, 500);      
};
$scope.hideDiv = function() {
  $timeout(function() {
    $scope.hovering = false;
  }, 500);
};

UPDATE

'$scope.hovering' shows all the submenus instead of showing up only the corresponding submenu. How do we fix that?

Just update the following rows:

HTML:

<div ng-repeat="obj in pageData.allChildList" class="hiding-div" ng-mouseover="showDiv(obj)" ng-mouseleave="hideDiv(obj)"> 
...
<div class="farm-links" ng-show="obj.hovering">

Controller:

$scope.showDiv = function(obj) {
  $timeout(function() {
    obj.hovering = true;
  }, 500);      
};
$scope.hideDiv = function(obj) {
  $timeout(function() {
    obj.hovering = false;
  }, 500);
};

Here we are passing current obj from ng-repeat to $scope.showDiv and $scope.showDiv functions, and then we set a new object property like this: obj.hovering = true; or obj.hovering = false;. And here ng-show="obj.hovering" we are showing/hiding this element based on new obj.hovering property value.

You have to define hovering on $scope. You can use an array to show the corresponding rows on ng-repeat

JS:

$scope.hovering=[];
$scope.showDiv = function(index) {
  $timeout(function() {
    $scope.hovering[index] = true;
  }, 500);      
};
$scope.hideDiv = function(index) {
  $timeout(function() {
    $scope.hovering[index] = false;
  }, 500);
};

HTML:

<div ng-repeat="obj in pageData.allChildList" class="hiding-div" ng-mouseover="showDiv($index)" ng-mouseleave="hideDiv($index)" > 
      <div>
