integer to string conversion in AngularJS

Question

I have the following code --

    <td ng-class="{danger:values.capacity>threshold}">{{values.capacity}}</td>

The problem is that values.capacity has is a string ("70%") and threshold is an int (70). Is there any way I can make the conversion in the HTML?

HTML has no concept of data types. What you're really asking "How do I do this with angular and/or javascript". — Jamiec

You could use the parseInt() function to convert the 70% to 70 (int).

just call in your controller:

$scope.values.capacity = parseInt($scope.values.capacity, 10);

Setting radix 10 explicitly would be better for old browsers: parseInt(str,10)

Yeah if you need to support < IE8 you should use the radix parameter. I have edited my answer
