Lexer support "@" character - used in email addresses and others - v 1.2.16

[pdindak]

Email address contains "@"

Uncaught Error: Lexer Error: Unexpected next character at columns 16-16 [@] in expression

This problem has been around for quite a while, really cannot get around this issue.

Thanks!

I'm confused. Isn't the lexer for parsing angular / Javascript expressions? Where would a @ come into play there?

A watch on an object with an email address used as user and name fields

Uncaught Error: Lexer Error: Unexpected next character at columns 16-16 [@] in expression [[email protected]]. angular.js:6489

// if (angular.isArray(defaultValue)) {

var obj = {

scope[name] = value;
},

},
updated: function() {

syncObject[name] = new SyncObject(obj, widget, afterLoadCallback);
}

@pdinadk you can use object["[email protected]"] for example, $parse will be totally happy with that

[pdindak]

Thanks, caitp. Can you point me to where you think it would work with the parser? Not clear where you mean to use it as you described.

[caitp]

$scope.object = {
  '[email protected]': false,
  '[email protected]': false
};

$scope.$watch('object["[email protected]"]', listener);

function listener(newVal, oldVal) {
  // do something
}

[pdindak]

Aha, ok Thanks! thought you meant the $watch, but was not sure.

I'm going to close this as "working as expected."

Same issue
Lexer Error: Unexpected next character at columns 4-4 [@] in expression [[email protected]].

when parsing a string using angular-ui tooltip-html, do I have to open an issue there? I think it comes from angular $parse

[caitp]

that's just not a valid expression syntax, @jdenquin. You probably want ['[email protected]'] or similar

I have this: <div class="serviceNote" ng-click="showMainNoteDialog('Formularz Podatku 2014', 4008, 'e-mail do firmy o korekte swiadczeniz zlomowania auta Opel Astra &#39;info&#64;wilkohaag.nl&#39;;')">
And I get this: angular.min.js:114 Error: [$parse:lexerr] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.5.2/$parse/lexerr?p0=Unexpected%20nextharacter%20&p1=s%20122-122%20%5B%40%5D&p2=showMainNoteDialog('Formularz%20Podatku%202014'%2C%204008%2C%20'e-mail%do%firmy%o%20korekte%swiadczeniz%20zlomowania%20auta%Opel%20Astra%20'info%40wilkohaag.nl'%3B')

I even escaped the @ sign to @, but that didn't help, of course I get the same error without escape.

At last I came to a conclusion, that using " (escape of " sign) in this way:
<div class="serviceNote" ng-click="showMainNoteDialog('Formularz Podatku 2014', 4008, &#34;e-mail do firmy o korekte swiadczeniz zlomowania auta Opel Astra &#39;info&#64;wilkohaag.nl&#39;;&#34;)">

will work.

@SylwesterKogowski, this is because the browser will unescape ' to ' resulting in an invalid expression. You can simply escape ' with \'.
