Currently experimenting with this code snippet:
var CustomTable = function($elem) {
this.properties.element = $elem;
this.initialize();
};
CustomTable.prototype.PROPERTIE = {
secondElement: $('.second') // this element is present in the HTML
};
CustomTable.prototype.initialize = function() {
console.log(this.properties.element) -> will output the element;
console.log(this.properties.secondElement) -> undefined
};
var customTableDirective = function() {
return {
restrict: 'M',
link: function($scope, $elem) {
return new CustomTable($elem);
}
};
};
angular.module('app').directive('customTableDirective', customTableDirective);
In my constructor class, I can retrieve an HTML element inside any method. However, if I attempt to store the same element within an object, it returns as undefined.
The reason for this seems quite obvious to me. The issue arises because $('.second'); does not exist when the PROPERTIE object tries to access it, due to the fact that the element resides within a template loaded via ng-include.
Is there a way to address this problem? Perhaps by waiting for the ng-include before executing the script or using some other approach? I have already attempted using both $timeout and setTimeout without success.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
