Encountering a perplexing issue that has left me scratching my head, so I will do my best to provide a clear explanation.
I am retrieving HTML content through a JSON object and inserting it into a div. The trouble arises when the HTML contains JavaScript code that doesn't seem to execute when brought in via a directive. As an example, I am experimenting with this , which is a D3 directive designed for Angular.
When I directly include the HTML in the template, everything works smoothly using an example from their site that looks like this:
<nvd3-stacked-area-chart data="exampleData" id="exampleId" showXAxis="true" showYAxis="true" showControls="true" width="700" height="200"> <svg></svg> </nvd3-stacked-area-chart>
The above code functions perfectly on the page. However, when I fetch it through JSON, the directive (or possibly Angular itself) does not seem to be activated.
As a reference, the JSON snippet appears as follows:
'content' : '<nvd3-stacked-area-chart data="exampleData" id="exampleId" showXAxis="true" showYAxis="true" showControls="true" width="700" height="200"> <svg></svg> </nvd3-stacked-area-chart>',
and it is bound in the following manner:
ng-bind-html="widget.content"
Everything seems fine during inspection, with the correct HTML displayed. In my controller, I have utilized $sce.trustAsHtml to ensure proper escaping.
At a loss on how to tackle this dilemma since no specific errors are being thrown, I am unsure whether the issue lies with Angular, the directive, or the sequence of events. Is there a method to re-initialize the d3 directive once the HTML content is loaded into the div?
Feeling stuck on where to start troubleshooting, any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read!
