How can one derocate directive if link function is not named. More specifically I want to decorate select-ui directive. This is how their directive is defined:
.directive('uiSelect', function() {
return {
restrict: 'EA',
scope: true,
compile: function(tElement, tAttrs) {
//some code
return function(scope, element, attrs, ctrls){
//some code here
//how do I extend this?
}
}
}
});
This is how I tried, but it's giving me error Cannot read property 'apply' of undefined, because link function is not named in directive :
.decorator('uiSelectDirective', function($delegate, Restangular){
var directive;
directive = $delegate[0];
console.log(directive, $delegate);
directive.scope = {
endpoint: '=',
items: '=',
parameters: '='
};
directive.compile = function() {
return function($scope, element, attrs){
directive.link.apply(this, arguments);
// custom code here
}
};
return $delegate;
});
EDIT
I tried the suggested approach, but i'm running into issues.
.decorator('uiSelectDirective', function($delegate, Restangular){
var directive;
directive = $delegate[0];
directive.scope = {
endpoint: '=',
items: '=',
parameters: '='
};
directive.compile = function(originalCompile) {
var args = arguments;
return function($scope, element, attrs){
console.log($scope); // this here is returning element instead of scope?
return originalCompile.apply(this, args);
}
}(directive.compile);
return $delegate;
});
Instead of $scope I'm getting element variable ([div.ui-select-container.ui-select-bootstrap.dropdown]). I also have error saying that tAttrs is not defined, which is the parameter in main compule function. I'm guessing that apply isn't passing arguments into function somehow...
Do something this like this to extend compile function:
directive.compile = function(originalCompile) {
return function() {
var oldLink = originalCompile.apply(this, arguments);
return function($scope, element, attrs) {
// custom code for link here
return oldLink.apply(this, arguments)
}
}
}(directive.compile);

I have a diretive with a list of events loading from my service service:
.directive('appointments', [function () {
return {
restrict: 'CE',
scope: {
ngTemplate: '=',
},
controller: ['$scope','calendarService', function ($scope, calendarService) {
var vm = this;
vm.events = calendarService.getEvents();
}],
controllerAS:'vm',
link: function (scope, elem, attrs) {
scope.getTemplateUrl = function () {
if (angular.isDefined(scope.ngTemplate))
return scope.ngTemplate;
else
return "/list.directive.html";
}
},
template: '<div ng-include="getTemplateUrl()"></div>'
}
}])
Now in another directive i am updating this list, how can i update the list in the first controller?
.directive('appointmentsUpdate', [function () {
return {
restrict: 'CE',
scope: {
ngEventId: '=',
},
controller: ['$scope','calendarService', function ($scope, calendarService) {
var vm = this;
vm.update = calendarService.updateEvent(scope.ngEventId).then(function(res){
// Here is where the newly created item, should be added to the List (vm.events) from first directive
)
});
}],
controllerAS:'vm',
link: function (scope, elem, attrs) {
scope.getTemplateUrl = function () {
if (angular.isDefined(scope.ngTemplate))
return scope.ngTemplate;
else
return "/list.directive.html";
}
},
template: '<div ng-include="getTemplateUrl()"></div>'
}
}])
you can use angular broadcast service for this:
in first directive use this:
$rootScope.$broadcast('greeting', data_needs_to_be_send);
in other directive listen the event to update its scope:
$scope.$on('greeting', listenGreeting)
function listenGreeting($event, message){
alert(['Message received',message].join(' : '));
}
We use require property to make communication between directives.
Something like this
return {
restrict: 'AE',
require: '^ParentDirective or ^SameLevelDirective'
}
Here is the clear explanation of Driectives That Communicate by ToddMotto
Services are singletons, so if you update the list from one place (with your calendarService.updateEvent()), then if you retrieve the data from the service in the other directive, it should be the updated list.
You could use a watch to check when the list is updated:
$scope.$watch(() => calendarService.getEvents(), (newValue, oldValue) => {
// update your scope with the new list
}, true);
I want to create a table directive, I wanted to know how to pass a callback to for example: "Calling a delete function that is not in the Controller", I was wanting to pass as a callback using parameters, but for some time I am hitting my head with it. When I can return the callback through the "link" I can not return the values, and the controller can not.
Imagem when I use link , but don't back values of callback
Image when I use Controller
View DashBoard
<div crud-table options='vm.options' callback='vm.myCallBack(response)'></div>
Controller DashBoard
(function() {
'use strict';
angular
.module('senhalivre')
.controller('DashboardMikrotikCtrl', DashboardMikrotikCtrl);
DashboardMikrotikCtrl.$inject = [];
function DashboardMikrotikCtrl() {
var vm = this;
vm.myCallBack = myCallBack;
vm.options = {
enabled : true,
msg : 'DashBoard',
// Configs etc.....
}
//////////////////
function myCallBack(response){
console.log('Callback !!! ');
console.log(response);
}
}
})();
Directive
(function() {
'use strict';
angular
.module('senhalivre')
.directive('crudTable', crudTable);
crudTable.$inject = [];
function crudTable() {
var directive = {
bindToController: true,
controller: crudTableCtrl,
templateUrl : './views/crud/crudTable.html',
controllerAs: 'vm',
link: link,
restrict: 'EA',
scope: {
options : '=',
callback : '&callback'
}
};
return directive;
////////////////
function link(scope, element, attrs, ctrl) {
scope.vm.callback({test : 'something'});
// Work
}
}
crudTableCtrl.$inject = [];
function crudTableCtrl() {
var vm = this;
vm.callback({test : 'something'});
// :(
}
})();
You need to provide the property 'response' in the parameter-object when calling the callback:
function link(scope, element, attrs, ctrl) {
scope.vm.callback({response: 'some response text'});
}
or
function crudTableCtrl() {
this.callback({response: 'something'});
}
I am trying to call a function in controller from link function. From controller function, I have to call a rest service call. (I tried calling rest service from link function , But I didn't get success. So I am trying to call controller function from link and from there I will call rest service).
My code is as below.
app.directive('collection', function() {
return {
restrict: "E",
replace: true,
scope: {
collection: '=',
articleData: '=',
articleContent: '='
},
template: "<ul><member ng-repeat='member in collection' member='member' article-data='articleData' article-content='articleContent'></member></ul>"
}
});
app.directive('member', function($compile,$http) {
return {
restrict: "A",
replace: true,
scope: {
member: '=',
articleData: '=',
articleContent: '='
},
template: "<div><li><a href='#' ng-click='getContent(member.itemId)'>{{member.title}}</a></li></div>",
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
scope.getContent = function(itemId) {
scope.testFunction(itemId);
}
if (angular.isArray(scope.member.tocItem)) {
if (scope.member.hasChildren == "true") {
for (var i = 0; i < scope.member.tocItem.length; i++) {
if (scope.member.tocItem.title) {
scope.member.tocItem.title.hide = true;
}
}
}
element.append("<collection collection='member.tocItem'></collection>");
$compile(element.contents())(scope)
}
}
}
});
app.controller('apdController', function($scope, getTocService,$location) {
var bookId = $location.search().id;
var sampdata = getTocService.getToc(bookId);
$scope.tasks =sampdata;
//$scope.tasks = data;
var artData = getTocService.getArtData('PH1234');
$scope.articleContent = artData;
$scope.testFunction = function(itemId){
alert("called.....");
}
});
Here, I am trying to call testFunction from link.From testFunction, I am planning to call a rest service. But getting undefined is not a function error.
Can someone please help? Also, please let me know is this a right approach (from link function to controller and from controller to rest call . Since my time line is less, I couldn't think of some other approach)
What does testFunction do? You have different options. If testFunction calls a rest service then you should definitely move it to a service.
app.factory('restService', function($http) {
function testFunction(itemId){
// Whatever you need
return $http.get('myUrl');
}
return {
testFunction: testFunction
}
});
Then inject it in your directive
app.directive('member', function($compile, $http, restService) {
...
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
scope.getContent = function(itemId) {
restService.testFunction(itemId);
}
....
}
});
This way, you can also call it in your controller if you ever need it.
If instead you have to communicate something to the controller then you can use signals.
How we can get particular isolated scope of the directive while calling link function from controller(parent)?
I am having a directive and repeating it using ng-repeat. Whenever a button in the directive template is clicked it will call a function- Stop() in directive controller which in-turn calls function test() in parent controller, inside test() it will call a method dirSample () in directive's link function.
When I print the scope inside dirSample(), it prints the scope of the last created directive not the one which called it.
How can I get the scope of the directive which called it?

I've changed the binding of your function from & to = since you need to pass a parameter. This means some syntax changes are in order, and also you need to pass the scope along the chain if you want to have it all the way at the end:
HTML:
<div stopwatch control="dashControl" meri="test"></div>
Controller:
$scope.test = function(scope)
{
console.log(scope);
$scope.dashControl.dirSample(scope);
}
Directive:
.directive('stopwatch', function() {
return {
restrict: 'AE',
scope: {
meri : '=',
control: '='
},
templateUrl: 'text.html',
link: function(scope, element, attrs, ctrl) {
scope.internalControl = scope.control || {};
scope.internalControl.dirSample = function(_scope){
console.log(_scope);
}
},
controllerAs: 'swctrl',
controller: function($scope, $interval)
{
var self = this;
self.stop = function()
{
console.log($scope);
$scope.meri($scope);
};
}
}});

I have the following code snippets:
HTML:
<div data-filedrop data-ng-model="file"></div>
Controller:
$scope.$watch('file', function(newVal) {
if (newVal) {
alert("File",newVal);
}, false);
}
Directive:
angular.module('app').directive('filedrop', function () {
return {
restrict: 'A',
templateUrl: './directives/filedrop.html',
replace: true,
scope: {
ngModel: '=ngModel'
},
link: function (scope, element) {
var dropzone = element[0];
dropzone.ondragover = function () {
this.className = 'hover';
return false;
};
dropzone.ondragend = function () {
this.className = '';
return false;
};
dropzone.ondrop = function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
this.className = '';
scope.$apply(function () {
scope.ngModel = event.dataTransfer.files[0];
});
return false;
};
}
};
});
The $watch function is never triggered when I update the $scope.
Any Ideas?? Might be an isolated scope issue? It used to work until yesterday... when I had to redo
bower install && npm install
I can confirm:
dropzone.ondrop is fired
event.dataTransfer.files[0] does contain the file being dropped
because of the bower install I also tried angular 2.1.14, 2.1.15 and 2.1.16 (current) but none are working
Thanks!

ngModel is a controller/provider, it's not a scope. It's not identical to using a scope like in a controller in any way whatsoever. You have to use ngModel.$setViewValue('some value') to manipulate the value. You also have to add the ngModel like this:
require: 'ngModel',
link: function (scope, element, attrs, ngModel) {
// do some stuff
ngModel.$setViewValue(element.html()); // example
}
I found a good tutorial which describes this perfectly: http://suhairhassan.com/2013/05/01/getting-started-with-angularjs-directive.html#.U1jme-aSzQ4
Another option would of course be to just pass a scope variable like this:
Directive:
scope: {
'someAttribute': '='
},
link: function(scope, element) {
dropzone.ondrop = function(event) {
scope.$apply(function() {
scope.someAttribute = event.dataTransfer.files[0];
});
}
}
Controller View:
<div filedrop some-attribute="mymodel"></div>
Controller:
$scope.$watch('mymodel', function(newVal) {
// yeah
});
It seems that you are not modifying the value of scope.ngModel. Instead you are overwriting variable scope.ngModel so that it points to the different object, namely: event.dataTransfer.files[0]
