How to use a keypress event in AngularJS?

Question

I want to catch the enter key press event on the textbox below. To make it more clear I am using a ng-repeat to populate the tbody. Here is the HTML:

<td><input type="number" id="closeqty{{$index}}" class="pagination-right closefield"      data-ng-model="closeqtymodel" data-ng-change="change($index)" required placeholder="{{item.closeMeasure}}" /></td> 

This is my module:

angular.module('components', ['ngResource']); 

I am using a resource to populate the table and my controller code is:

function Ajaxy($scope, $resource) { //controller which has resource to populate the table  }

You need to add a directive, like this:

Javascript:

app.directive('myEnter', function () {     return function (scope, element, attrs) {         element.bind("keydown keypress", function (event) {             if(event.which === 13) {                 scope.$apply(function (){                     scope.$eval(attrs.myEnter);                 });                  event.preventDefault();             }         });     }; }); 

HTML:

<div ng-app="" ng-controller="MainCtrl">     <input type="text" my-enter="doSomething()">     </div>
