AngularJS - 是否可以在链接或编译中更改指令上的ngModel属性的值？

Question

I am trying to create a directive that will add an ngModel attribute to a tag based on the attribute value. For example:

angular.module('myModule').
  directive('myDirective', function() {
    return {
      link: function(scope, elem, attrs) {
        var modelName = 'myPrefix.' + attrs.name;
        attrs.$set('ngModel', modelName);
      }
    };
  });

So that this html:

<input name="foo" my-directive></input>

is compiled into

<input name="foo" ng-model="myPrefix.foo" my-directive></input>

It takes the name of the input, attaches a prefix, and sets the ngModel attribute to that value.

When I try to do this in the link function, it seems like the input isn't being registered with the formController, so that form.foo returns undefined.

Is it possible to accomplish what I'm trying to do?

EDIT:

It seems like the ngModel attribute is being set on the HTML, but it is not being registered with the form, or the ngModelController is not being instantiated. If I look at the value of ngModel in the scope, it does not change when I modify the input.

You should check out the docs for the NgModelController . It will answer your question. For further explanation, here's the gist:

You can capture a fourth argument to the link: function, which is your ng-model value. You use that object to read and set the model.

link: function(scope, element, attrs, ngModel) {
    if(!ngModel) return; // do nothing if no ng-model

    // Specify how UI should be updated
    ngModel.$render = function() {
      element.html(ngModel.$viewValue || '');
    };

    // Listen for change events to enable binding
    element.on('blur keyup change', function() {
      scope.$apply(read);
    });
    read(); // initialize

    // Write data to the model
    function read() {
      var html = element.html();
      // When we clear the content editable the browser leaves a <br> behind
      // If strip-br attribute is provided then we strip this out
      if( attrs.stripBr && html == '<br>' ) {
        html = '';
      }
      ngModel.$setViewValue(html);
    }
}

Hope that helps.

I was able to accomplish the goal by using a template function. I think it doesn't work in the link function because it occurs after all of the directives have been collected, so the compiler doesn't recognize that an ngModel directive has been added. I'm not sure why it doesn't work in the compile function, though (even if I set the priority to 100).

Here's the working version of the directive:

angular.module('myModule').
  directive('myDirective', function() {
    return {
      replace: true,
      template: function(elem, attr) {
        var newElem = '<input ng-model="model.' + attr.name + '">';
        return newElem;
      }
    };
  });
