AngularJS : Watch element.html() in a directive

问题

I am looking to create a mardown directive (restrict A) which would make me able to use same recipient for ng-view. So I would basically load only .md files in views and apply my function on its content each time ng-view change. So :

index.html

<div markdown ng-view></div>

with two views containing, let say, view1.md

#That should be h1

and view2.md

##That should be h2, no ?

My actual code is

'use strict';
angular.module('btford.markdown', []).
  directive('markdown', function () {
    var converter = new Showdown.converter();

    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function (scope, element, attrs) {

            scope.$watch(element.html(), function(value) {
                    var htmlText = converter.makeHtml(element.html());
                    element.html(htmlText);
            });

            var htmlText = converter.makeHtml(element.text());
            element.html(htmlText);
        }
    }
});

回答1:

The first param of watch can be a function, return any value you want including your $element.html(). You can even do a combination of data

$scope.$watch(
    function() { return $element.attr("abc") + $scope.variable + someinternalvar; },
    function(newVal, oldVal) { doTheStuff(); }
);

Obviously the more intense the data you put in here the slower your watches will be. Use caution.

-- FYI

You should clean up your watchers, create an array and push the results of $scope.$watch into that array. Then on the $destroy message remove them. Also remember to unbind events as they will cause eventual performance issues as scopes are created & destroyed.

$document.bind('click', clickMe);
$(window).on("resize", winResize);

var watches = []

watches.push($scope.$watch("thing", function() { Thing(); }));

$scope.$on("$destroy", function () {
    for (var i in watches) watches[i]();
    $document.unbind('click', clickMe);
    $(window).off("resize", winResize);
});

Just to add, cleaning up scope watchers is not needed as they are already processed internally, however rootScope, parent, etc. you should absolutely cleanup.

It may be cleaner for you to use the $stateChangeSuccess event inside your directive rather than setting your own $watch. Try adding a callback function to the $stateChangeSuccess event, this should trickle down to the scope of your directive.

'use strict';

angular.module('btford.markdown', []).
  directive('markdown', function () {
    var converter = new Showdown.converter();

    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function (scope, element, attrs) {

            // When the state is change to, or reloaded...
            scope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess', function () {
                var htmlText = converter.makeHtml(element.text());
                element.html(htmlText);
            });
        }
    }
});

回答3:

You can only watch variables on your scope.

scope.foo = 'bar';
scope.$watch('foo', function(newValue) {
  // Code to execute here
});

If you want to monitor the changes of DOM elements you need to do this on your own.
