Hello all!
We have run across an issue template rendering and its sucking the soul out
of me (not really, but close). Read on for more!
*CONTEXT:* We are building an angular application that loads as a third
party service on top of other webpages. We have created custom
services/factories that evaluate the elements on the webpage (specifically
images) and based on certain criteria, dynamically inject our custom
elements into certain locations on the webpage. The injection of our
elements happens after a response from our api and so can happen up to a
few seconds after the page has loaded.
*OUR ATTEMPTED SOLUTION:* Because we dynamically and asynchronously inject
elements, we opted to attempt to manually use the $compile service. After
the response from our api, we have a list of angular.element wrapped
targets that need to have our custom view injected into them. To do that we
tried to create an html string with angular attributes (var view =
'<div>{{hello}}</div>') and using $compile(view)(scope) tried to append
that to body of the page.
*THE PROBLEM:* For whatever reason, the template we passed to $compile does
not render (also tried to wrap the view in jqLite before sending to
$compile to no avail). That is, we expect {{hello}}, to be removed and
data-binding to occur. This does not seem to be the case. We have created a
plunker to to show our issue
http://plnkr.co/edit/SVQDpLxM6uXR09vw1PLR?p=preview (We know that
manipulating the DOM from a controller is bad practice and plan to change
it later.)
*OTHER THINGS WE HAVE TRIED:* We tried using a simple $compile call as well
as a directive. In both cases, the template does not render, however the
directive is successfully injected into the page.
*OUR QUESTIONS:* How can we run the template engine? What is blocking
angular from doing so? Does anyone have any suggestions for how we could
possibly do this better?
After looking at pretty much every SO article ever posted and reading the
documentation as well as part of the source code, we are at our wits end.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Heck, even a joke or a witty
comment about Russia's $50B spent on the winter games would be appreciated
at this point.
Thank you!
Nick
