For this scenario, I have a page of HTML with some AngularJS directives, controllers, etc.
Something like this:
I've faced the same issue, here's what I came up with :
2nd controller's view should be rendred here
and calling setCnt() function will inject and compile the html, and it will be linked to the 2nd controller:
var app = angular.module('app', []);
function setCnt() {
// Injecting the view's html
var e1 = angular.element(document.getElementById("ee"));
e1.html('my name: {{name}}');
// Compile controller 2 html
var mController = angular.element(document.getElementById("mController"));
mController.scope().activateView(e1);
}
app.controller("mainController", function($scope, $compile) {
$scope.name = "this is name 1";
$scope.activateView = function(ele) {
$compile(ele.contents())($scope);
$scope.$apply();
};
});
app.controller("ctl2", function($scope) {
$scope.name = "this is name 2";
});
here's an example to test this : https://snippet.run/x4bc
hope this helps.
