Last Updated : 14 Feb, 2023

In this article, we will see how to dynamically get the content width of a div using AngularJS, along with understanding its basic implementation through the examples.

The content width of a div can dynamically get using clientWidth and scrollWidth properties depending upon the user's requirement. If a user wants to know the space required by actual displayed content including the space taken by padding but not including the scrollbars, margins, or borders, then the user can use any of the following procedures that will return the width of the entire content of an element.

Using Element.ClientWidth property
Using Element.scrollWidth property

Example 1: In this example, the Content Width of the div using the ClientWidth property will return the width of the entire content of an element.
