I have code similar to the below code to trigger a click event in an Angular app. Why is not the event triggering?
var app = angular.module("myApp", [])
app.directive('myTop',function($pile) {
return {
restrict: 'E',
template: '<div></div>',
replace: true,
link: function (scope, element) {
var childElement = '<button ng-click="clickFunc()">CLICK</button>';
element.append(childElement);
$pile(childElement)(scope);
scope.clickFunc = function () {
alert('Hello, world!');
};
}
}
})

Reset to default 7Change your pile statement like this:
$pile(element.contents())(scope);
You were passing a DOM string childElement which is really not a DOM element instead it is a string. But the $pile needs the DOM element(s) to actually pile the content.
var app = angular.module("myapp", []);
app.directive('myTop', ['$pile',
function($pile) {
return {
restrict: 'E',
template: '<div></div>',
replace: true,
link: function(scope, element) {
var childElement = '<button ng-click="clickFunc()">CLICK</button>';
element.append(childElement);
$pile(element.contents())(scope);
scope.clickFunc = function() {
alert('Hello, world!');
};
}
}
}
