View Source functionality using AngularJS

The feature I'm trying to implement is a toggle view source button so the user can view the source of a given element then copy the text.
Using the ngRoute module, my views are coming through ng-view:
<div id="code" ng-view=""></div>
I would like the HTML to be output to:
<div id="html-text-output"></div>
I've tried using the $sanitize function but I'm not sure it is appropriate for my solution. Below is the code currently in my controller:
angular.module('App')
.controller('outputHtmlCtrl', function ($scope, $element, $sanitize) {
$scope.isOutputToggled = true;
var sanatizedHtml = $sanitize($('#email-frame-code').html());
$scope.toggleHtmlOutput = function() {
$scope.isOutputToggled = $scope.isOutputToggled === false ? true: false;
$('#html-text-output').append("<div>"+"'"+sanatizedHtml+"'"+"</div>");
}
});
My markup is below:
<div id="email-frame-code__container" ng-controller="outputHtmlCtrl">
<div class="browser-header">
<span class="browser-header__icon" ng-click="toggleHtmlOutput()"></span>
</div>
<div id="email-frame-code" ng-class="{closed: isOutputToggled}">
<div id="html-text-output"></div>
<div id="code" ng-view=""></div>
</div>
</div>
My end goal for this is like the 'Fancy Version' here: https://css-tricks.com/examples/ViewSourceButton/
But on a target element, not the whole page.

How to pass HTML element into angularjs code?

I want to pass the html element into angularjs code. I have some html elements like data-form-selector='#linechart_general_form' and data-url="{% url 'horizon:admin:metering:samples'%}" I want to access these Html elements in angularjs code.
My html templates, what make to change in the following code so that its elements accessible to angularjs code.
<div class="info row detail">
<div class="col-sm-9 chart_container">
<div class="chart"
data-chart-type="line_chart"
data-url="{% url 'horizon:admin:metering:samples'%}"
data-form-selector='#linechart_general_form'
data-legend-selector="#legend"
data-smoother-selector="#smoother"
data-slider-selector="#slider">
</div>
<div id="slider"></div>
<div class="col-sm-3 legend_container">
<div id="smoother" title="Smoothing"></div>
<div id="legend"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

--Update-- I just reread your question. To access those ATTRIBUTES (not elements, they are values of an element) you can select the object with an identifier, then manipulate it's attributes, like so (jQuery example):
$('.chart').attr('data-form-selector', 'myNewValue');
You may need to re-initialize sopmething because of the databinding but that's where I'd start.
==================================
You need to create an angular app and controller first, then use the angularjs and ng-model directive to bind the element to a method in your controller, i.e.:
<script>
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.firstName= "John";
$scope.lastName= "Doe";
});
</script>
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">
First Name: <input type="text" ng-model="firstName"><br>
Last Name: <input type="text" ng-model="lastName"><br>
<br>
Full Name: {{firstName + " " + lastName}}
</div>
In this case, you'd be manipulating the $scope.firstName and $scope.lastName variables in js.

You can do a Directive for doing that.

AngularJS Dynamic Template with indexed scope variable arrays

I'm using AngularJS and trying to create a form where I can dynamically add new inputs, similar to this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/V4BqE/ (Main HTML below, working code in fiddle).
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<div add-input>
<button>add input</button>
</div>
</div>
I would like to be able to use a HTML template for my form since the input I'm adding is ~300 lines long. My issue is I cannot figure out how to index the scope variable containing the data when used in a template. I've tried to make my own modified version of the above code on plnkr http://plnkr.co/edit/4zeaFoDeX0sGTuBMCQP2?p=info . However, when I click the button no form elements appear.
Online (plnkr) I get a 404 not found for my template.html, but I think that is just a plnkr limitation. On my machine with a Python HttpServer I get an Error: [$parse:syntax] for the $templateRequest and a TypeError: Failed to execute 'appendChild' on 'Node': parameter 1 is not of type 'Node'. when using the $http.get method.
Any advice for getting the indexed scope variable array to work with an external html file?
Thanks, JR
Edit: Update plnkr link

You can do it without directive & external template
what you are trying to do does not require a directive (it actually much simple with the basic angularjs tools)
http://plnkr.co/edit/LVzGN8D2WSL2nR1W7vJB?p=preview
html
<body>
<div class="container" ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<button class="btn btn-primary" type="button" ng-click="addPhoneInput()">add input</button>
<form>
<div ng-repeat="item in telephoneNumbers">
<hr>
<input type="text" ng-model="item.phone">
</div>
</form>
<hr>
<div class="well">
<h4>Phone Numbers,</h4>
<p ng-repeat="item in telephoneNumbers">{{item.phone}}</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
js
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('MyCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
// Define $scope.telephone as an array
$scope.telephoneNumbers = [];
$scope.addPhoneInput = function() {
$scope.telephoneNumbers.push({});
};
// This is just so you can see the array values changing and working! Check your console as you're typing in the inputs :)
$scope.$watch('telephoneNumbers', function(value) {
console.log(value);
}, true);
}]);
If you insist using a directive,

phone-number.template.html
<div>
<hr>
<input type="text" ng-model="ngModel" >

<div class="container" ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="MyCtrl">

<form>
<phone-number ng-repeat="item in telephoneNumbers" ng-model="item.phone"></phone-number>
</form>
<hr>
<div class="well">
<h4>Phone Numbers,</h4>
<p ng-repeat="item in telephoneNumbers">{{item.phone}}</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
js
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('MyCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
// Define $scope.telephone as an array
$scope.telephoneNumbers = [];
$scope.addPhoneInput = function() {
$scope.telephoneNumbers.push({});
};
// This is just so you can see the array values changing and working! Check your console as you're typing in the inputs :)
$scope.$watch('telephoneNumbers', function(value) {
console.log(value);
}, true);
}]);
app.directive('phoneNumber', function(){
return {
replace:true,
scope: {
ngModel: '=',
},
templateUrl: "phone-number.template.html"
}
});

How to use the moment library in angular in a directive that uses compile instead of link

I have a tree of connected documents (parent to child) in my database from a single model called Actions, they're recursively compiled in an angular directive so that they're nested inside their parents.
I have the following code:
angular.module('crmDashboardApp')
.directive('actionDirective', function ($http, $compile, RecursionHelper) {
return {
scope: {
actionId: '=', // html:action-node, js:actionNode
actionList: '='
},
templateUrl: 'app/main/directive/action/action.directive.html',
replace: true,
restrict: 'E',
compile: function (element) {
return RecursionHelper.compile(element, function(scope, iElement, iAttrs, controller, transcludeFn){
scope.deleteAction = function (_action) {
var id = _action._id;
$http.delete('/api/actions', {
data: {'id':id},
headers: {"Content-Type": "application/json;charset=utf-8"} // we need to do this if we want to send params, otherwise we need to do traditional REST in URL
});
};
// Find for already called action list
scope.findAction = function (_id, _list) {
scope.actionNode = _.findWhere(_list, {_id:_id})
};
scope.findAction(scope.actionId, scope.actionList);
function calculateTimeSince(){
scope.fromNow = moment(scope.actionNode.content).fromNow(true);
}
setInterval(calculateTimeSince, 1000);
scope.fromNow = moment(scope.actionNode.content).fromNow(true);
});
}
};
});
This only compiles once on load and changing anything in the scope after does nothing. I want the setInterval function to change a variable scope.fromNow to be updated every second and update the view (the HTML references this with a simple {{fromNow}})
I believe I'll have to re-compile the directive somehow but doing something like:
$compile(element.contents())(scope)
within the setInterval function doesn't work.
My directive's HTML looks like this:
<div class="action-node">
<header>{{ actionNode.name }}</header>
<div class="row">
<h3 class="col-md-12">{{ actionNode.title }}</h2>
<h5 class="col-md-12">{{ actionNode.description }}</h5>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-3">Time Since: {{fromNow}}</div>
<div class="col-md-3">Content: {{ actionNode.content}}</div>
<div class="col-md-3">Duration Type:{{ actionNode.duration_type }}</div>
<div class="col-md-3">Type: {{ actionNode.type }}</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4">
{{actionNode.children.length > 0 ? actionNode.children : "No children" }}
</div>
<form class="pull-right" ng-submit="deleteAction(actionNode)">
<input class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="Delete">
</form>
</div>
<div class="action-wrapper" ng-repeat="child in actionNode.children" ng-if="actionNode.children.length > 0">
<!-- <div class="row" ng-repeat="child in actionNode.children" ng-if="actionNode.children.length > 0" ng-style="{'margin-left': ({{actionNode.nest_level}}+1)*30+'px'}"> -->
<action-directive action-ID="child" action-list="actionList" />
</div>
</div>
You can see that it calls itself again right at the bottom. I am also using RecursionHelper so infinite loop isn't an issue.

Instead of using setInterval, you need to use the Angular wrapper service $interval.
$interval service synchronizes the view and model by internally calling $scope.$apply which executes a digest cycle.

Dynamic forms in AngularJs

Im working on some dynamic forms using AngularJs and appear to have gotten a bit stuck with validation and the form "name" registering on the scope.
What I'm looking to achieve is following.
<my-form-helper form="someObjectWhichRepresentsFormItems" handle-submit="true">
When the handel-submit is true, I would like the directive to include a wrapper around the elements the directive normally creates (a list of inputs, etc)
The problem is, when ever I dynamically add the <form> in the template, the scope does not see the form, however if I simply put in the form tag every time it does..
Also, my ideal solution was to use the directive to wrap the element in a <form> tag using the link function however the result was the same and I can re-look at this once I have it working from within the template.
E.g
<form name="testForm" ng-if="handelSubmit" >
Vs
<form name="testForm">
in the my-form-helper directives controller function the scope
.directive('myFormHelper', function ($http, $compile) {
return {
controller: function($scope){
$scope.submit = function(){
// Trying to access $scope.testForm
// only works if I take out the ng-if,
// even when handelSubmit == true
console.log($scope);
alert('Form submitted..');
$scope.form.submitted = true;
}
$scope.cancel = function(){
alert('Form canceled..');
}
},
templateUrl: 'app/forms/directive-templates/form/form.html',
restrict: 'E',
scope: {
form:'=',
handelSubmit:'='
}
};
});
Html tempalte is
<form name="testForm" ng-if="handelSubmit" >
<!-- The for name derly should be name="{{form.name}}" -->
<div ng-repeat="field in form.fields">
<form-field field="field">
</div>
<div class="form-actions" ng-show="handelSubmit">>
<button type="button" ng-click="submit()">Submit Form</button>
<button type="button" ng-click="cancel()">Cancel</button>
</div>
</form>
<div ng-if="!handelSubmit">
<div ng-repeat="field in form.fields">
<form-field field="field">
</div>
</div>
