AngularJS multiple expressions concatenating in interpolation with a URL

Question

I know this is long, but please bear with me. The problem is easy to understand, just takes some writing to fully explain it.

Right now I\'m getting this error

An alternative to @tasseKATT's answer (which doesn't require a controller function) is to use string concatenation directly in the expression a filter:

angular.module('myApp')
  .filter('youtubeEmbedUrl', function ($sce) {
    return function(videoId) {
      return $sce.trustAsResourceUrl('http://www.youtube.com/embed/' + videoId);
    };
  });

I've found this particularly useful when using SVG icon sprites, which requires you to use the xlink:href attribute on the SVG use tag - this is subject to the same SCE rules. Repeating the controller function everywhere I needed to use a sprite seemed silly so I used the filter method instead.

angular.module('myApp')
  .filter('svgIconCardHref', function ($sce) {
    return function(iconCardId) {
      return $sce.trustAsResourceUrl('#s-icon-card-' + iconCardId);
    };
  });

Note: I had previously tried just simple string concatenation inside the expression. However this led to some unexpected behaviour where the browser would interpret the expression before Angular had a chance to parse it and replace with the real href. Since there is no ng-src equivalent for the use tag's xlink:href I opted for the filter, which seems to have solved the issue.
