I am using a directive for star rating. But the template the is loaded before data is loaded from HTTP. So i want to reload directive template after HTTP request is successful.
HTML
<html>
<head>
<script src=".4.5/angular.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head><body>
<div ng-app="myapp" ng-controller="movieCtrl">
<div star-rating rating="starRating" read-only="false" max-rating="10" click="click(param)" mouse-hover="mouseHover(param)"
mouse-leave="mouseLeave(param)"></div>
</div></body></html>
JS
var app = angular.module('myapp', []);
app.controller("movieCtrl", function($scope, $http) {
$scope.starRating = 0;
$scope.hoverRating = 0;
$scope.mouseHover = function(param) {
$scope.hoverRating1 = param;
};
$scope.mouseLeave = function(param) {
$scope.hoverRating1 = param + '*';
};
//problem here
//actual data ing via http
//when value is changed i want to re-render below directive template
setTimeout(function() {
$scope.starRating = 5
}, 1000);
});
app.directive('starRating', function() {

You should tie the template to the scope.rating so that you get the benefit of the template updating when your rating changes – SoluableNonagon Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 16:20
- @SoluableNonagon The directive is using an isolate scope, so $scope is different for each instance of the directive's controller. Though in this case there is nothing being done in the directive's controller that can't be done in the linking function. – georgeawg Commented Dec 23, 2015 at 17:06

Reset to default 7Here is a simple rating directive which uses stars, note that the logic is in the link
function, rather than the controller.
function starRating() {
return {
restrict: 'EA',
template:
'<ul class="star-rating" ng-class="{readonly: readonly}">' +
// see ng-repeat here? this will update when scope.stars is updated
' <li ng-repeat="star in stars" class="star" ng-class="{filled: star.filled}" ng-click="toggle($index)">' +
' <i class="fa fa-star"></i>' + // or ★
' </li>' +
'</ul>',
scope: {
ratingValue: '=ngModel',
max: '=?', // optional (default is 5)
onRatingSelect: '&?', // callback
readonly: '=?' // set whether this should be changeable or not
},
link: function(scope, element, attributes) {
if (scope.max == undefined) {
scope.max = 5;
}
function updateStars() { // update to rating value
scope.stars = [];
for (var i = 0; i < scope.max; i++) {
scope.stars.push({
filled: i < scope.ratingValue
});
}
};
scope.toggle = function(index) {
if (scope.readonly == undefined || scope.readonly === false){
scope.ratingValue = index + 1;
scope.onRatingSelect({
rating: index + 1
});
}
};
scope.$watch('ratingValue', function(oldValue, newValue) {
if (newValue) {
updateStars();
}
});
}
};
}
Use $scope.$apply() on setTimeout
function and your code will work fine
also i have made simple modification to your code .. check here
- i created a service to share data b/n controllers
- added some $watch function to detect value change
var app = angular.module('myapp', []);
app.controller("movieCtrl", function($scope, $http, share) {
$scope.starRating = 0;
$scope.hoverRating = 0;
$scope.mouseHover = function(param) {
$scope.hoverRating1 = param;
};
$scope.mouseLeave = function(param) {
$scope.hoverRating1 = param + '*';
};
$scope.$watch('starRating', function() {
share.rating = $scope.starRating
});
setTimeout(function() {
console.log('timeout set');
$scope.starRating = 5;
$scope.$apply();
}, 1000);
});
app.factory('share', function() {
var obj = {
rating: 0
}
return obj;
});
app.directive('starRating', function() {
return {
scope: {
rating: '=',
maxRating: '@',
readOnly: '@',
click: "&",
mouseHover: "&",
mouseLeave: "&"
},
restrict: 'EA',
templateUrl: "star1.html",
pile: function(element, attrs) {
if (!attrs.maxRating || (Number(attrs.maxRating) <= 0)) {
attrs.maxRating = '5';
};
},
controller: function($scope, $element, $attrs, share) {
$scope.maxRatings = [];
$scope.rating = share.rating;
$scope.$watch('rating', function() {
$scope._rating = share.rating;
});
for (var i = 1; i <= $scope.maxRating; i++) {
$scope.maxRatings.push({});
};
$scope._rating = share.rating;
$scope.isolatedClick = function(param) {
if ($scope.readOnly == 'true') return;
$scope.rating = $scope._rating = param;
$scope.hoverValue = 0;
$scope.click({
param: param
});
};
$scope.isolatedMouseHover = function(param) {
if ($scope.readOnly == 'true') return;
$scope._rating = 0;
$scope.hoverValue = param;
$scope.mouseHover({
param: param
});
};
$scope.isolatedMouseLeave = function(param) {
if ($scope.readOnly == 'true') return;
$scope._rating = $scope.rating;
$scope.hoverValue = 0;
$scope.mouseLeave({
param: param
});
};
}
};
});
