calling a method only if ng-if is true

Question

Is it possible to call a method only when a condition in ng-if is true? I have a repeat like this

<div ng-repeat="i in items" ng-if="i.loc == 'abc'">     <h1>Hello.. {{getName()}}</h1> </div> 

here is the js code

$scope.getName = function() {     console.log('fired');     return "myName"; } 

From console I can see that this method is firing many more times then items.length and i.loc condition. So how to call this inside method only when ng-if is true

Answer 1

If the condition is true , someMethod() will be called. For example,

<div ng-repeat="i in items"       ng-if="i.name == 'abc'"       ng-init="someMethod()"> </div>
