As a newcomer to AngularJS, I am facing a challenge that requires creating a 3-step workflow:
The initial step involves calling a web service that provides a list of strings like ["apple", "banana", "orange"]. Upon receiving this response, I must encapsulate each string in angle brackets before passing it on to the View.
Next, for each string retrieved from the service, I need to display them as follows:
<apple /> <banana /> <orange />
Finally, I must dynamically execute the corresponding AngularJS directive associated with each of these strings and replace the elements displayed above with the content specified in the templateUrl property within their respective directives.
Currently, I have been able to complete Step 1 and Step 2 using AngularJS. However, I realize that these tasks could also be accomplished using plain JavaScript through AJAX calls.
My issue arises when the directives fail to run or execute properly, resulting in the tags being shown as plain text on the page -
<apple />
<banana />
<orange />
and so on.
I'm seeking guidance on how to instruct Angular to substitute the custom tags with the actual content from their templates.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: Below is a snippet of the code structure:
<div class="content" ng-controller="mainController">
<ul class="feeds">
<li ng-repeat="fruit in fruits">
<div ng-controller="fruitSpecificController"> {{fruit}} </div> <!-- This renders <apple />, <banana />, etc. -->
</li>
</ul>
</div>
Please note that each fruit may have its own controller. In the provided example, I reference "fruitSpecificController", but ideally, these controllers would be dynamically generated at runtime, such as "appleController", "orangeController", etc., all serving as child controllers under the parent "mainController".
