I am trying to figure out how to bind the content of a tooltip with angular. I have a directive that looks like this:
script.js
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.directive('initToolbar', function(){
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, element, attrs)
{
$(element).qtip({
content: {
ajax:
{
url: 'button.html'
}
},
position: {
my: 'bottom left',
at: 'bottom middle',
target: $(element)
},
hide: {
fixed : true,
delay : 1000
}
});
}
}
});
It uses the qTip2 plugin from here
My index.html looks like this (please note that in the actual file I have included all the sources in head, I am just not pasting it here to avoid clutter):
<body>
<div initToolbar>
<p>
Hover over me. Hover over me. Hover over me.
</p>
</div>
</body>
and
button.html
<div ng-controller="myController">
<button ng-click="someFunction()">Click me</button>
</div>
As you can see in the directive code. button.html is loaded into the tooltip, however this prevents angular from functioning properly-- The ng-click does not work when button.html is loaded into the popup. That is because angular does not know about it.
I also know that button.html is valid because simply adding
<ng-include src="'button.html'">
to index.html works fine (i.e clicking on the button executes someFunction())
So my question is:
How can I bind the actual content of the tooltip with angular? If not the content, is there a way to bind the tooltip so angular knows about it? I am familiar with $scope.$apply() but I am not quite sure how to use it here.

UPDATE 1
Make sure to go from snake-case to camelCase when going from HTML to javascript in angular. So init-toolbar in html translates to initToolbar in javascript.
Here is a working sample: http://plnkr.co/edit/l2AJmU?p=preview
HTML
<div init-toolbar="">
<p>
Hover over me. Hover over me. Hover over me.
</p>
</div>
Button.html
<div>
<button ng-click="someFunction()">Click me</button>
</div>

var app = angular.module('plunker', []);
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.name = 'World';
$scope.someFunction = function() {
$scope.name = 'FOO BAR';
};
});
app.directive('initToolbar', function($http, $compile, $templateCache){
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function(scope, element, attrs)
{
$http.get('button.html', {cache: $templateCache}).
success(function(content) {
var compiledContent = $compile(content)(scope);
$(element).qtip({
content: compiledContent,
position: {
my: 'bottom left',
at: 'bottom middle',
target: $(element)
},
hide: {
fixed : true,
delay : 1000
}
});
});
}
}
});
ORIGINAL
The reason the button does not work is because angular does not know it should bind to it. You tell angular to do that using $compile. I don't know much about that qTip2 pluggin, but if you load the template, then compile it $compile(template)(scope); then hand it over to qTip2, you will get the results you expect.
