Get DOM element by scope $id

Question

I understand I can get the scope by element:

scope = angular.element($0).scope();
scope.$id; // \"003\"

How do I get reverse: Find the DOM

Answer 1

Trying out the answer, I found that directives don't seem to have the class ng-scope, so here's a modified version that'll fallback to everything.

var getByScopeId = function(id) { 
    var filterfn = function(i,el) {
        var sc = angular.element(el).scope();

        return sc && sc.$id == id;
    };
    // low hanging fruit -- actual scope containers
    var result = $('.ng-scope').filter(filterfn);
    if(result && result.length) return result;

    // try again on everything...ugh
    return $(':not(.ng-scope)').filter(filterfn);
}

Usage:

var results = getByScopeId('003')
