ng-if和ng-show的一个有趣的区别是:

安全

如果ng-if块中的DOM元素值为false，则不会被呈现

在ng-show的情况下，用户可以打开检查元素窗口并将其值设置为TRUE。

随着一声巨响，原本要隐藏的全部内容都显示出来了，这是一个安全漏洞。：）

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。

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。

Ng-show和ng-hide的工作方式相反。但是ng-hide或ng-show与ng-if的区别是，如果我们使用ng-if，那么元素将在dom中创建，而使用ng-hide/ng-show，元素将完全隐藏。

ng-show=true/ng-hide=false:
Element will be displayed

ng-show=false/ng-hide=true:
element will be hidden

ng-if =true
element will be created

ng-if= false
element will be created in the dom. 

请注意，现在发生在我身上的一件事: Ng-show通过css隐藏内容，是的，但它导致了奇怪的小故障在div的应该是按钮。

我有一个底部有两个按钮的卡，根据实际状态，一个与第三个交换，示例编辑按钮与新条目。使用ng-show=false来隐藏左边的按钮(首先出现在文件中)，下面的按钮的右边框出现在卡片外面。 Ng-if通过完全不包括代码来修复这个问题。 (只是在这里检查是否有一些隐藏的惊喜使用ng-if而不是ng-show)
