ngIf通过删除或重新创建元素对DOM进行操作。

而ngShow应用css规则来隐藏/显示内容。

对于大多数情况(并非总是如此)，我将总结为，如果你需要一次检查来显示/隐藏东西，使用ng-if，如果你需要根据屏幕上的用户操作显示/隐藏东西(比如选中复选框然后显示文本框，未选中然后隐藏文本框等)，那么使用ng-show

ng-if指令从页面中删除内容，ng-show/ng-hide使用CSS的display属性隐藏内容。

如果您想使用:first-child和:last-child伪选择器来设置样式，这是非常有用的。

事实上，ng-if指令与ng-show指令不同，它创建了自己的作用域，导致了有趣的实际差异:

angular.module('app', []).controller('ctrl', function($scope){ $scope.delete = function(array, item){ array.splice(array.indexOf(item), 1); } }) <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script> <div ng-app='app' ng-controller='ctrl'> <h4>ng-if:</h4> <ul ng-init='arr1 = [1,2,3]'> <li ng-repeat='x in arr1'> {{show}} <button ng-if='!show' ng-click='show=!show'>Delete {{show}}</button> <button ng-if='show' ng-click='delete(arr1, x)'>Yes {{show}}</button> <button ng-if='show' ng-click='show=!show'>No</button> </li> </ul> <h4>ng-show:</h4> <ul ng-init='arr2 = [1,2,3]'> <li ng-repeat='x in arr2'> {{show}} <button ng-show='!show' ng-click='show=!show'>Delete {{show}}</button> <button ng-show='show' ng-click='delete(arr2, x)'>Yes {{show}}</button> <button ng-show='show' ng-click='show=!show'>No</button> </li> </ul> <h4>ng-if with $parent:</h4> <ul ng-init='arr3 = [1,2,3]'> <li ng-repeat='item in arr3'> {{show}} <button ng-if='!show' ng-click='$parent.show=!$parent.show'>Delete {{$parent.show}}</button> <button ng-if='show' ng-click='delete(arr3, x)'>Yes {{$parent.show}}</button> <button ng-if='show' ng-click='$parent.show=!$parent.show'>No</button> </li> </ul> </div>

在第一个列表，on-click事件，显示变量，从内部/自己的作用域，被改变了，但ng-if正在观察从外部作用域同名的另一个变量，所以解决方案不工作。对于ng-show，我们只有一个show变量，这就是它工作的原因。要修复第一次尝试，我们应该通过$parent.show引用show from parent/outer scope。

也许有趣的一点是，两者的优先级不同。

据我所知，ng-if指令是所有Angular指令中优先级最高(如果不是最高的话)的指令之一。这意味着:它将在所有其他低优先级的指令之前运行。事实上，它首先运行，意味着有效地，在任何内部指令被处理之前，元素被删除。至少，我是这么认为的。

I observerd and used this in the UI I'm building for my current customer. The entire UI is quite heavily packed, and it had ng-show and ng-hide all over it. Not to go into too much detail, but I built a generic component, which could be managed using JSON config, so I had to do some switching inside the template. There is an ng-repeat present, and inside the ng-repeat, a table is shown, which has a lot of ng-shows, ng-hides and even ng-switches present. They wanted to show at least 50 repeats in the list, which would result in more or less 1500-2000 directives to be resolved. I checked the code, and the Java backend + custom JS on the front would take about 150ms to process the data, and then Angular would chew some 2-3 seconds on it, before displaying. The customer did not complain, but I was appalled :-)

In my search, I stumbled across the ng-if directive. Now, maybe it's best to point out that at the point of conceiving this UI, there was no ng-if available. Because the ng-show and ng-hide had functions in them, which returned booleans, I could easily replace them all with ng-if. By doing so, all inner directives seemed to be no longer evaluated. That meant that I dropped back to about a third of all directives being evaluated, and thus, the UI speeded up to about 500ms - 1 sec loading time. (I have no way to determine exact seconds)

注意:指令没有被评估的事实，是对下面发生的事情的一个有根据的猜测。

所以，在我看来:如果你需要元素出现在页面上(即:检查元素，或其他)，但只是被隐藏，请使用ng-show/ng-hide。在所有其他情况下，使用ng-if。

@Gajus Kuizinas and @CodeHater are correct. Here i am just giving an example. While we are working with ng-if, if the assigned value is false then the whole html elements will be removed from DOM. and if assigned value is true, then the html elements will be visible on the DOM. And the scope will be different compared to the parent scope. But in case of ng-show, it wil just show and hide the elements based on the assigned value. But it always stays in the DOM. Only the visibility changes as per the assigned value.

希望这个例子能帮助你理解范围。 尝试给ng-show和ng-if赋假值，并在控制台中检查DOM。 尝试在输入框中输入值并观察差异。
