Chosen Angular directive doesn't get updated

Question

I\'ve followed this great tutorial (link) for Chosen and Angular (code is pretty much same)

Here is my directive:

app.angularModule.directive(\'chose         


        

Answer 1

More expanded version of comment to previous solution. Same as author, in HTML markup I provide source collection like chosen="vm.myCollection", actually parsing ng-options or ng-repeat property with regexp is better, maybe later. In contrast with OP, I use $watchCollection for an array, and call unwatches when scope is about to destroy.

(function () {
    'use strict';
    angular.module('common.directives').directive('chosen', enterPressDirective);

    function enterPressDirective() {
        return {
            restrict: 'A',
            link: function (scope, elm, attrs) {
                var unwatchModel = scope.$watch(attrs.ngModel, function () {
                    elm.trigger('chosen:updated');
                });

                var unwatchSource = scope.$watchCollection(attrs.chosen, function () {
                    elm.trigger('chosen:updated');
                });

                elm.chosen();

                scope.$on('$destroy', function () {
                    unwatchModel();
                    unwatchSource();
                });
            }
        };
    }
}());
