Hi I am facing an issue with my nested directives. The parent directive, along with its child directives that can be transcluded, is causing a problem. When attempting to find some DOM elements in the parent link function, it does not return an array without setting a timeout. It seems like the rendering/transclusion of the child is not happening quickly enough. Is there a solution to this problem without using a timeout and then calling to find the child elements?
var app = angular.module('plunker', [])
.run(function($templateCache){
$templateCache.put('innerPane.html', "<div class='inner-pane' ng-transclude></div>");
$templateCache.put('slidePaneSelector.html', "<div class='slide-pane'><inner-pane><h2>First Inner Pane</h2></inner-pane><inner-pane><h2>Second Inner Pane</h2></inner-pane></div>");
})
.directive('innerPane', function(){
return {
restrict: 'EA',
transclude: true,
replace: true,
templateUrl: 'innerPane.html',
scope:{},
link: function(scope,element,attr){
}
}
})
.directive('slidePaneSelector', ['$timeout',function($timeout){
return {
restrict: 'EA',
transclude: true,
replace: true,
templateUrl: 'slidePaneSelector.html',
scope:{},
link: function(scope,element,attr){
var firstPaneElement = angular.element(element.find('div')[0]);
var secondPaneElement = angular.element(element.find('div')[1]);
console.log(element.find('div'));
$timeout(function(){
console.log(element.find('div'));
},100);
}
}
}]);<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.22/angular.min.js"></script>
