ng-repeat finish event

Question

I want to call some jQuery function targeting div with table. That table is populated with ng-repeat.

When I call it on

$(document).r         


        

Answer 1

Here's a simple approach using ng-init that doesn't even require a custom directive. It's worked well for me in certain scenarios e.g. needing to auto-scroll a div of ng-repeated items to a particular item on page load, so the scrolling function needs to wait until the ng-repeat has finished rendering to the DOM before it can fire.

    

        thing: {{ thing }}

myModule.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope, $timeout){
    $scope.things = ['A', 'B', 'C'];

    $scope.fireEvent = function(){

        // This will only run after the ng-repeat has rendered its things to the DOM
        $timeout(function(){
            $scope.$broadcast('thingsRendered');
        }, 0);

    };
});

Note that this is only useful for functions you need to call one time after the ng-repeat renders initially. If you need to call a function whenever the ng-repeat contents are updated then you'll have to use one of the other answers on this thread with a custom directive.
