Applying angularjs ng-repeat to owl-carousel
<div class="owl-carousel">
<div ng-repeat="items in itemlist">
<a href="series.html"><img ng-src="{{items.imageUrl}}" /></a>
</div>
<div>
<a href="series.html"><img src="http://placehold.it/350x150" /></a>
</div>
</div>
View carousel here: Owl-carousel2
I'm running into an issue where whenever the ng-repeat directive is applied to carousel the items are stacked vertically instead of being layout horizontally.
If I leave out ng-repeat and use static items then it works as it should.
Is there a directive I can write and apply to owl-carousel to maintain the layout?
Also what is about ng-repeat that is causing the carousel to break?
Is angular somehow stripping the owl-carousel classes applied to the carousel?
Note* If build the list manually then iterate through and append the elements using :
var div = document.createElement('div');
var anchor = document.createElement('a');
var img = document.createElement('img');
.....
carousel.appendChild(div);
then call the owl.owlCarousel({..}) It works, not sure if this is the best work around because ng-repeat makes everything bit easier.
I discovered a hack , if I wrap the owl init in a timeout then ng-repat works.
setTimeout(function(){
...call owl init now
},1000);
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/owl.carousel.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/owl.theme.default.min.css"/>
.....
<script src="/js/lib/owl.carousel.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
var owl = $('.owl-carousel');
owl.owlCarousel({
.....
});
owl.on('mousewheel', '.owl-stage', function(e) {
if (e.deltaY > 0) {
owl.trigger('next.owl');
} else {
owl.trigger('prev.owl');
}
e.preventDefault();
});
})
</script>

Was able to modify a directive from DTing on another post to get it working with multiple carousels on the same page. Here is a working plnkr
-- Edit -- Have another plnkr to give an example on how to add an item. Doing a reinit() did not work cause any time the owl carousel is destroyed it loses the data- elements and can never initialize again.
var app = angular.module('plunker', []);
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.items1 = [1,2,3,4,5];
$scope.items2 = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10];
}).directive("owlCarousel", function() {
return {
restrict: 'E',
transclude: false,
link: function (scope) {
scope.initCarousel = function(element) {
// provide any default options you want
var defaultOptions = {
};
var customOptions = scope.$eval($(element).attr('data-options'));
// combine the two options objects
for(var key in customOptions) {
defaultOptions[key] = customOptions[key];
}
// init carousel
$(element).owlCarousel(defaultOptions);
};
}
};
})
.directive('owlCarouselItem', [function() {
return {
restrict: 'A',
transclude: false,
link: function(scope, element) {
// wait for the last item in the ng-repeat then call init
if(scope.$last) {
scope.initCarousel(element.parent());
}
}
};
}]);
