Setting focus on an input field after ng-show

Question

Is it possible set the focus of an input field via a controller once data has loaded (via $resource in this case)?

The input is hidden via ng-show until the data is

This is a simple directive that might work for you

.directive('focusOn',function($timeout) {
    return {
        restrict : 'A',
        link : function($scope,$element,$attr) {
            $scope.$watch($attr.focusOn,function(_focusVal) {
                $timeout(function() {
                    _focusVal ? $element[0].focus() :
                        $element[0].blur();
                });
            });
        }
    }
})
