How can i trigger a click event for li elements specifying their index from the angularjs directive? I have tried using $first for triggering click for the first element, but its not working.
Thanks for any help.
Here is perhaps a different way for you to achieve this. Pass into the directive both the index and the item and let the directive setup the html in a template:

html:
<ul id="thumbnails">
<li class="thumbnail" ng-repeat="item in items" options='#my-container' itemdata='item' index="$index">
</li>
</ul>
js directive:
app.directive('thumbnail', [function() {
return {
restrict: 'CA',
replace: false,
transclude: false,
scope: {
index: '=index',
item: '=itemdata'
},
template: '<a href="#"><img src="{{item.src}}" alt="{{item.alt}}" /></a>',
link: function(scope, elem, attrs) {
if (parseInt(scope.index) == 0) {
angular.element(attrs.options).css({'background-image':'url('+ scope.item.src +')'});
}
elem.bind('click', function() {
var src = elem.find('img').attr('src');
// call your SmoothZoom here
angular.element(attrs.options).css({'background-image':'url('+ scope.item.src +')'});
});
}
}
}]);
You probably would be better off adding a ng-click to the image as pointed out in another answer.
Update
The link for the demo was incorrect. It has been updated to: http://plnkr.co/edit/ybcNosdPA76J1IqXjcGG?p=preview
