Action Button in Angular UI Grid 3.x version
I am trying to render a simple table using Angular UI Grid (unstable version). Against each row I need a button when clicked should be handled in my parent controller.
Javascript:-
angular.module("app", ['ui.grid', 'ui.grid.edit', 'ui.grid.selection', 'ui.grid.pagination', 'ui.grid.expandable', 'ui.grid.paging']).controller("appController", function($scope) {
console.log("Controller is up.");
$scope.data = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 50; i++) {
$scope.data.push({
fullName: "Name" + i,
age: i
});
}
$scope.clickHandler = function(){
// this never gets invoked ?!
console.log("Row Action click Handler.");
};
$scope.gridOptions = {
data: $scope.data,
columnDefs:[ {name:'fullName',field:'fullName'},
{name:'age',field:'age'},
{name:' ',cellTemplate:'<div><button ng-click="clickHandler()">Click Here</button></div>'}
]
};
});

As in code, to render the action button I have used columnDefs with inline template for the third column.
PROBLEM
Clicking the button doesn't work. I expect ' $scope.clickHandler' function to be executed on click. Also, I should be able to pass 'name' as argument to the click handler.
Answer
Easier than @mainguy in my opinion is:
Adding grid.appScope. before your $scope member.
For example in your case to call $scope.clickHandler:
cellTemplate:'<button ng-click="grid.appScope.clickHandler()">Click Here</button>'
