How can I trigger the click event of another element in ng-click using angularjs?

Question

I\'m trying to trigger the click event of the element from the button.

Answer 1

If your input and button are siblings (and they are in your case OP):

Upload

Use a directive to bind the click of your button to the file input like so:

app.directive('uploadfile', function () {
    return {
      restrict: 'A',
      link: function(scope, element) {

        element.bind('click', function(e) {
            angular.element(e.target).siblings('#upload').trigger('click');
        });
      }
    };
});
