I have been searching for hours on this problem, and I can't seem to wrap my mind around a solution here.
I am attempting to create a directive that should be able to render a functional bit of HTML. I thought that running the HTML through the $compile would be enough, but it appears that it's only going 1 level deep.
How do I compile the rawHtml portion of my data so that the ng-click works?
** Edit: I figured out how to use the angular sanitize to return the HTML, however, it's still not compiled. How do I compile this to the scope?

<body ng-app='testApp'>
<div ng-controller='testCtrl'>
<test-directive ng-model='dataItems'></test-directive>
</div>
</body>
and JS
var app = angular.module('testApp', ['ngSanitize']);
app.controller('testCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.dataItems = [
{ name: 'Test1', rawHtml: '<input type="button" ng-click="onClick(1);" value="Click 1" />' },
{ name: 'Test2', rawHtml: '<input type="button" ng-click="onClick(2);" value="Click 2" />' }
]
}]);
app.directive('testDirective', ['$compile', '$sce', function($compile, $sce) {
return {
restrict: 'E',
scope: {
ngModel: "="
},
template: "<ul><li ng-repeat='item in ngModel'><div ng-bind-html=\"getHtml(item.rawHtml)\">{{item.name}}</div></li></ul>",
controller: function($scope) {
$scope.onClick = function(num) {
console.log(num);
}
$scope.getHtml = function(html) {
return $sce.trustAsHtml(html);
}
}
}
}])
Actually you should try to avoid it as much as possible. It could be done in very rare cases and used extremely careful.
In AngularJS-way you should provide everything possible in view and don't put any view logic in JS code. You can include different templates, you can use
ng-switch
/ng-if
to select one of the options.But if you really need it, you can use
$compile
indeed. You can use directive for that:And use it as

But USE IT WITH CAUTION. I would not recommend this directive for general purpose.
