I'm trying to get the height of elements in a simple AngularJS app. See below. What am I doing wrong? The height should be different as the lines wrap, but I get 20 reported back to me regardless of what I input in the "labels" array.
The following code can be executed here, otherwise see below. http://js.do/code/49177

<title>height of element in angularjs</title>

var app = angular.module('heightApp', ['ngRoute', 'routing']);
app.controller('heightCtrl', ['$scope', function ($scope) {
$scope.labels = [
'Hi there, I\'m a div.',
'Me too, I\'m also a div.',
'Can you see me, because I certainly can\'t see myself. I don\'t even know my own height. Isn\'t that just crazy?'
];
}]);
angular.module('routing', []).config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'height.html',
controller: 'heightCtrl'
});
}]);
angular.module('heightApp').directive('reportMyHeight', function() {
return function (scope, el, attrs) {
alert('offsetHeight = ' + el[0].offsetHeight);
}
})
</script>
</head>
<body ng-app="heightApp">
<div class="container">
<div ng-view></div>
</div>
</body>
<script type="text/ng-template" id="height.html">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4" report-my-height ng-repeat="lbl in labels">
{{ ::lbl }}
</div>
</div>
</script>
</html>
You need to wait till the next digest cycle. When you do it right away in the directive the interpolations {{ ::lbl }}
inside the ng-repeat would not have expanded yet. You can place it in a $timeout
turning off the applyDigest argument.
i.e, example:
angular.module('heightApp').directive('reportMyHeight', function($timeout) {
return function (scope, el, attrs) {
$timeout(init, false);
//Initialization
function init(){
console.log('offsetHeight = ' + el[0].offsetHeight, el.html());
}
}
});
