AngularJS bootstrap popover with another directive Object [object Object] has no method 'popover'

Question

I have a button that I would like to trigger a bootstrap popover. That works fine except that I need that popover to have another directive in it (basically popover contains a list of items).

I have found this article http://tech.pro/tutorial/1360/bootstrap-popover-using-angularjs-compile-service but following it doesn't seem to work for me very well.

I made a custom directive

.directive('popoverhtml', function ($compile) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        transclude: true,
        template: "<span ng-transclude></span>",
        scope: {

        },
        link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
            console.log($(element));
            var options = {
                content: "<br><br>Hey",
                placement: "right",
                html: true,
                title: "HEY",
                trigger: "click"
            };
            $(element).popover(options);
        }
    }

and the following is my HTML mark up

<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-small" popoverHTML><i class="icon-white icon-plus"></i></button>

For now I am not passing any custom html to it (if anybody knows how to do that I'd appreciate some guidance on this as well) I am just trying to get the popover appear with the html hardcoded in content param of the options object.

However I am getting the following error as soon as the view with the button loads (before I click on the button)

TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'popover'

According to my googlefu this can mean quite a lot of things and I would appreciate some insight on what that could mean in the context of Angular.

Thank you!

I would recommend looking into AngularStrap Popovers. Generally, I'd recommend AngularUI, but AngularStrap supports template partials in popovers and AngularUI doesn't.

If you do go with AngularStrap, you can just write an HTML partial to be displayed in the popover and that partial can include whatever directives you like just like a normal Angular partial.
