When do we know the actual width of an element in Angular?

Question

I\'m tring to create a directive that will center a div.

So far, I have this code:

app.directive(\"setcenter\", function () {
    return {
        scope:

Can't comment yet, therefore this answer. Found a similar solution like the one strom2357 is suggesting. $timeout works really well to let you know when the dom is ready, and it is super simple. I am using this solution to get the ui-view element width. Found it in a fiddle.

var app = angular.module('app', []);

app.controller('MyController', function($timeout, $scope){

  $timeout(function(){
    //This is where you would get width or height of an element
    alert('DOM ready');
  });

  alert('DOM not ready');

});
