Please forgive my lack of understanding.
I pass the name of a collection to my directive:
<ul tag-it tag-src="preview_data.preview.extract.keywords"><li>Tag 1</li><li>Tag 2</li></ul>
The directive is defined:
app.directive('tagIt', function (){
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope,elem, attr) {
elem.tagit();
console.log(attr.tagSrc); //the name of my collection, but how do I access it?
}
}
});
How do I access my collection from the directive and make sure my directive is called when the collection is populated? Here is how preview_data.preview.extract.keywords gets populated.
app.config(function ($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
$locationProvider.html5Mode(true);
console.log('config');
$routeProvider.when("/", {
templateUrl: "/templates/addItem.html",
controller: "AddItemController",
resolve: {
loadData: addItemCtrl.loadData
}
});
});
var addItemCtrl=app.controller("AddItemController", function ($scope, $route, $sce, Preview) {
var title = decodeURIComponent($route.current.params.title);
var ua = decodeURIComponent($route.current.params.ua);
var uri = decodeURIComponent($route.current.params.uri);
$scope.preview_data = {
uri: uri,
title: title,
ua: ua
}
//pass parameters to web preview API
Preview.get(uri, ua, title).then(function (data) {
$scope.preview_data.preview = data;
if (data.embed.html) {
$scope.preview_data.preview.embed.html = $sce.trustAsHtml(data.embed.html);
}
}, function (data) {
alert('Error: no data returned')
});
});
You need to set the variable in the directive scope and set the template to iterate between the tags:
template : '<li data-ng-repeat="tag in tagSrc">{{tag.name}}</li>',
scope : {
tagSrc : '='
},
And will became this:
app.directive('tagIt', function (){
return {
restrict: 'A',
template : '<li data-ng-repeat="tag in tagSrc">{{tag.name}}</li>',
scope : {
tagSrc : '='
},
link: function(scope,elem, attr) {
console.log(attr.tagSrc);
}
}
});
the '=' attribute will tells to angular to use a tw way binding with the array passed in the directive declaration in the HTML.
Here is a plunker with a working example.
And here is a good arcticle explaning the directive's attributes and life cycle.
I hope it helps.
[EDIT]
If you want just iterate the array, without creating some different behavior in the list items, you can just simply use the ng-repeat directive:
<ul>
<li data-ng-repeat="tag in tags">{{tag.name}}</li>
<ul>

My directive has an attribute id-model that is used to pass an array to the directive. The directives controller should execute a function using that array as an argument. I can access the attribute in my controller and log the array but my function never runs and I'm not sure why.
If I don't use the attribute and change placesFact.getDetails(idModel) to placesFact.getDetails($scope.model) everything works fine but I want there to be more flexibility with the directive.
*Update:
To clarify on the placesFact.getDetails() method, It looks up google place info with a place id and returns the results as a promise. It has been tested and works fine.
Directive
.directive('gPlaces', function() {
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: '#',
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
scope.tempUrl = attrs.tempUrl;
},
controller: function($scope, $attrs, placesFact) {
var idModel = $attrs.idModel;
$attrs.$observe('idModel', function(value) {
idModel = value;
console.log(idModel); // This logs the array
placesFact.getDetails(idModel).then(function(results) {
console.log(results); // This logs nothing
$scope.places = results;
});
});
},
template: '<div ng-include="tempUrl"></div>'
}
})
Controller
angular.module('myApp').controller('PlacesCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.model = [
'ChIJR4dOl_hYwokRApSCaQiBidk',
'ChIJv-Ghof5YwokRMtWLEV12hJI',

View
<g-places temp-url="pages/places/multiTemp.html" id-model={{model}}></g-places>
As estus mentioned in the comments, my scope: '#' syntax was wrong and was the root of the problem. This is my first directive so a little trial and error and a lot of reading lead me to figure out what to do though.
Here is how the directive looks now that it is working.
.directive('gPlaces', function() {
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: {
idModel: '=',
tempUrl: '#'
},
controller: function($scope, placesFact) {
placesFact.getDetails($scope.idModel).then(function(results) {
$scope.places = results;
});
},
template: '<div ng-include="tempUrl"></div>'
}
})
I am working to add modals to my directives using ui-bootstrap and did so fine on the previous directive. I don't believe I am doing anything differently in this one but I get the ReferenceError: milestoneController is not defined when I run the edit() function from within the directive.
milestone.html (this is the template HTML for the directive below):
<div ng-controller = "milestoneController"></div>
milestone directive:
angular.module('ireg').directive('milestone', function (milestoneFactory,$modal) {
return {
restrict:'E',
scope: {
objectid:'#objectid'
},
templateUrl: '/ireg/components/milestone/milestone.html',
link: function ($scope, element, attrs) {
$scope.edit = function(data) {
milestoneController.editMilestoneDialog(data);
};
}
}
});
angular.module('ireg').controller('milestoneController', function ($scope, $modal){
$scope.editMilestonesDialog = function (objectid) {
//fun
}
});
EDIT: I allso felt I should mention that the milestone directive is repeated in a ng-repeat loop. Thanks!
ok you're going to want to use a transcluded scope in your directive to pass a controller function to the directive. Your directive now becomes:
angular.module('ireg').directive('milestone', function (milestoneFactory,$modal) {
return {
restrict:'E',
scope: {
objectid:'#objectid',
editMilestoneDialog:'&'
},
templateUrl: '/ireg/components/milestone/milestone.html',
link: function ($scope, element, attrs) {
$scope.edit = function(data) {
$scope.editMilestoneDialog(data);
};
}
}
and your markup becomes:
<milestone edit-milestone-dialog="editMilestoneDialog"></milestone>
I have an angular directive that loads data from service,
BUT
it loads the data with a variable he go from a controller that it was loaded as well from a service.
code:
directive:
app.directive("posts", ['Posts', function(Posts) {
return {
restrict: 'E',
template: '' +
'<div ng-repeat="post in posts"></div>',
scope: {
showLoading: '&',
hideLoading: '&',
spot: '#'
},
controller: ['$scope', function ($scope) {
}],
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
$scope.load = function () {
Posts.loadPostsBySpot(scope.spot)
};
}
};
}]);
Controller
app.controller('spotPageController', ['$scope', 'Spots', function ($scope, $Spots) {
doit = function () {
Spots.getSpot($)
.success(function (data) {
$scope.spotId = data.data;
console.log($scope.spot);
}).error(function (data) {
console.log('error');
});
};
}]);
html inside
<posts spot="{{spotId}}" showLoading="showLoading()" hideLoading="hideLoading()"></posts>
but when the directive is loaded the "spot" is not yet set,
so how do I make the directive load only after the spot is set.
Use ng-if.
<posts ng-if="spotId" spot="{{spotId}}" showLoading="showLoading()" hideLoading="hideLoading()"></posts>
This element will be rendered only after the spotId is initialized. Therefore, your directive will not be called before that.
If you want to encapsulate this behavior in directive, you should watch for changes of the scopeId. See the fiddle.
Here's a short fiddle:
http://jsfiddle.net/aSg9D/
Basically, neither <div data-foo-{{letterA}}></div> nor <div data-ng:model="foo-{{letterB}}"></div> are interpolated.
I'm looking for a way to dynamically load one of several inline templates.
Pardon me if this has already been asked before, but I searched and couldn't find it.
I believe Radim Köhler has the correct answer. Just before it was posted, I hacked together something to load directives from another directive like this:
angular.module('myApp', []).directive('loadTmpl', function($compile) {
return {
restrict: 'A',
replace: true,
link: function($scope, $element, $attr) {
$element.html("<div data-card-"+$attr.loadTmpl+"></div>");
$compile($element.contents())($scope);
}
};
});
And:
<div data-load-tmpl="{{directiveName}}"></div>
I think that's the minimalist approach, but there's probably something wrong with it, so just look at the answer below.
Let's adjust it this way (the udpated fiddle). The view:
<div my-selector name="letterA"></div>
<div my-selector name="letterB"></div>
the controller:
function myCtrl($scope) {
$scope.letterA = 'bar';
$scope.letterB = 'baz';
}
And here is new directive mySelector, containing the selector
.directive('mySelector',
[ '$templateCache','$compile',
function($templateCache , $compile) {
return {
scope: {
name: '='
},
replace: true,
template: '',
link: function (scope, elm, attrs) {
scope.buildView = function (name) {
var tmpl = $templateCache.get("dir-foo-" + name);
var view = $compile(tmpl)(scope);
elm.append(view);
}
},
controller: ['$scope', function (scope) {
scope.$watch('name', function (name) {
scope.buildView(name);
});
}],
};
}])
.run(['$templateCache', function ($templateCache) {
$templateCache.put("dir-foo-bar", '<div data-foo-bar></div>');
$templateCache.put("dir-foo-baz", '<div data-foo-baz></div>');
}])
In case you like it, all credits goes to Render a directive inside another directive (within repeater template) and AngularJS - Directive template dynamic, if you don't, blame me.
I'm new to AngularJS and I feel like I'm just scratching the surface of what's possible with the framework. However, I'm running into problems with the sce.trustAsHtml function. I'm running AngularJS 1.2.4.
In my application, I'm loading items using JSON. These items are displayed in a list using a directive. Sometimes, I would want to inject HTML into the retrieved content (e.g. to make links clickable).
I've read I can use $sce.trustAsHtml to allow html in the binds. However, the following snippet isn't working. I would expect all items to be replaced with a bold text 'test', but instead it's displaying <strong>Test</strong> for each item.
Is there a simple way to make this snippet work?
angular.directive('ngStream', function($timeout, $sce) {
var url = "getitems.json";
return {
restrict: 'A',
scope: {},
templateUrl: 'templates/app_item.html',
controller: ['$scope', '$http', function($scope, $http) {
$scope.getItems = function() {
$http.get(url,{}).success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
$scope.items = data;
});
}
}],
link: function(scope, iElement, iAttrs, ctrl) {
scope.getItems();
scope.$watch('items', function(newVal) { if (newVal) {
angular.forEach(newVal, function(vars,i) {
# Example html string for testing purposes.
var editedContent = '<strong>Test</strong>';
newVal[i].contentHtml = $sce.trustAsHtml(editedContent)
});
}});
},
}
});
What's on your template? $sce.trustAsHtml must be used with ng-bind-html instead of normal ng-bind (or {{}})
