Angular: ng-click on ng-bind-html block not firing
I am quite new in the area of AngularJS and of course I am doing something in the wrong way. So, here is my problem: I have a small chat widget which takes the data through JSON from a PHP API. In my JSON I provide all the messages with wrappers and with some ng* tags. The problem I have is that the ng-click action is not fired on those elements. The html block are injected with ng-bind-html.
Here is my angular app:
var chat = angular.module("chat", ['ngDialog']);
chat.controller('GetChatMessagesController', function ($scope, $http, $timeout, $sce, ngDialog) {
$scope.messages = "";
$scope.getData = function() {
$http.get("/url/to/api")
.success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
$scope.messages = data.html;
}).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
//alert("AJAX f ailed!");
});
};
$scope.getData();
$scope.getHtml = function(html){
return $sce.trustAsHtml(html);
};
// Function to replicate setInterval using $timeout service.
$scope.intervalFunction = function(){
$timeout(function() {
$scope.getData();
$scope.intervalFunction();
}, 5000)
};
// Kick off the interval
$scope.intervalFunction();
$scope.messageAdminTools = function(message_id)
{
console.log("called");
var template = $scope.adminToolsTemplate(message_id);
console.log(template);
ngDialog.open({
template: template,
plain: true
});
};
$scope.adminToolsTemplate = function(message_id)
{
$http.get("/url/to/api" + message_id)
.success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
return data.html;
}).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
//alert("AJAX f ailed!");
});
};
});
And here is the html code that comes from the JSON:
<body ng-controller="GetChatMessagesController" class="ng-scope">
<div class="messages-container ng-binding" ng-bind-html="getHtml(messages)">
<div class="message message_1">
<span class="time">16:33</span>
<span class="chatbox_user"><a target="_blank" href="url">admin</a>: </span>
<span class="text">test <a href="javascript:void(0);" class="chat-tools" ng-click="messageAdminTools('1')">x</a></span>
</div>
</div>
</body>
The ng-click="messageAdminTools('1') does not fire when I click the element. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
EDIT: Working code
Here is the code modified after the answer, code that solves the issue:
var chat = angular.module("chat", ['ngDialog']);
chat.controller('GetChatMessagesController', function ($scope, $http, $timeout, $sce, ngDialog) {
$scope.messages = "";
$scope.getData = function() {
$http.get("/url/to/api")
.success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
$scope.messages = data.html;
}).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
//alert("AJAX f ailed!");
});
};
$scope.getData();
$scope.getHtml = function(html){
return $scope.messages;
};
// Function to replicate setInterval using $timeout service.
$scope.intervalFunction = function(){
$timeout(function() {
$scope.getData();
$scope.intervalFunction();
}, 5000)
};
// Kick off the interval
$scope.intervalFunction();
$scope.messageAdminTools = function(message_id)
{
console.log("called");
var template = $scope.adminToolsTemplate(message_id);
console.log(template);
ngDialog.open({
template: template,
plain: true
});
};
$scope.adminToolsTemplate = function(message_id)
{
$http.get("/url/to/api")
.success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
return data.html;
}).error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
//alert("AJAX f ailed!");
});
};
}).directive('compile', ['$compile', function ($compile) {
return function(scope, element, attrs) {
scope.$watch(
function(scope) {
// watch the 'compile' expression for changes
return scope.$eval(attrs.compile);
},
function(value) {
// when the 'compile' expression changes
// assign it into the current DOM
element.html(value);
// compile the new DOM and link it to the current
// scope.
// NOTE: we only compile .childNodes so that
// we don't get into infinite loop compiling ourselves
$compile(element.contents())(scope);
}
);
};
}]);
HTML:
<body ng-controller="GetChatMessagesController" class="ng-scope">
<div class="messages-container" compile="getHtml(messages)">
<div class="message message_1 ng-scope">
<span class="time">16:33</span>
<span class="chatbox_user"><a target="_blank" href="url">admin</a>: </span>
<span class="text">test <a href="javascript:void(0);" class="chat-tools" ng-click="messageAdminTools('1')">x</a></span>
</div>
</div>
</body>
Answer
Try this: angular ng-bind-html and directive within it
Take a look inside the directive that vkammerer provided.
Especially take note of the $compile step.
