Use a directive and the angular element ready
method like so:
js
.directive( 'elemReady', function( $parse ) {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function( $scope, elem, attrs ) {
elem.ready(function(){
$scope.$apply(function(){
var func = $parse(attrs.elemReady);
func($scope);
})
})
}
}
})
html
<div elem-ready="someMethod()"></div>
or for those using controller-as syntax...
<div elem-ready="vm.someMethod()"></div>
The benefit of this is that you can be as broad or granular w/ your UI as you like and you are removing DOM logic from your controllers. I would argue this is the recommended Angular way.
You may need to prioritize this directive in case you have other directives operating on the same node.
