angularjs: broadcast from directive to controller
Im trying to send a message from within a directive to its parent controller (without success)
Here is my HTML
<div ng-controller="Ctrl">
<my-elem/>
</div>
Here is the code in the controller which listens for the event
$scope.on('go', function(){ .... }) ;
And finally the directive looks like
angular.module('App').directive('myElem',
function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
templateUrl: '/views/my-elem.html',
link: function ($scope, $element, $attrs) {
$element.on('click', function() {
console.log("We're in") ;
$scope.$emit('go', { nr: 10 }) ;
}
}
}
}) ;
I've tried different scope configuration and $broadcast instead of $emit. I see that the event gets fired, but the controller does not receive a 'go' event. Any suggestions ?

There is no method on with scope. In angular it's $on
below should work for you
<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="test">
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.0-rc.2/angular.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="test" >
<my-elem/>
<!-- tabs -->
<script>
var app = angular.module('test', []);
app.controller('test', function ($scope) {
$scope.$on('go', function () { alert('event is clicked') });
});
app.directive('myElem',
function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
replace:true,
template: '<div><input type="button" value=check/></input>',
link: function ($scope, $element, $attrs) {
alert("123");
$element.bind('click', function () {
console.log("We're in");
$scope.$emit('go');
});
}
}
}) ;
</script>
</body>
</html>
