• Call Angular Function with Jquery
• Call controller function from outside of controller component

I have taken the same steps but getting error in browser console

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'myfunction' of undefined

I have created the fiddle . How to call myfunction function and alert is displayed? Any Idea?

Answer 1

Solution provide in the questions which you linked is correct. Problem with your implementation is that You have not specified the ID of element correctly.

Secondly you need to use load event to execute your code. Currently DOM is not loaded hence element is not found thus you are getting error.

HTML

<div id="YourElementId" ng-app='MyModule' ng-controller="MyController">
    Hi
</div>

JS Code

angular.module('MyModule', [])
    .controller('MyController', function ($scope) {
    $scope.myfunction = function (data) {
        alert("---" + data);
    };
});

window.onload = function () {
    angular.element(document.getElementById('YourElementId')).scope().myfunction('test');
}

You can use following:

angular.element(domElement).scope() to get the current scope for the element

angular.element(domElement).injector() to get the current app injector

angular.element(domElement).controller() to get a hold of the ng-controller instance.

Hope that might help

Another way is to create functions in global scope. This was necessary for me since it wasn't possible in Angular 1.5 to reach a component's scope.

Example:

 angular.module("app", []).component("component", { controller: ["$window", function($window) { var self = this; self.logg = function() { console.log("logging!"); }; $window.angularControllerLogg = self.logg; } }); window.angularControllerLogg();

Your plunker is firing off

angular.element(document.getElementById('MyController')).scope().myfunction('test');

Before anything is rendered.

You can verify that by wrapping it in a timeout

setTimeout(function() {
   angular.element(document.getElementById('MyController')).scope().myfunction('test');    
}, 1000);

You also need to acutally add an ID to your div.

<div ng-app='MyModule' ng-controller="MyController" id="MyController">

Answer 5

One doesn't need to give id for the controller. It can simply called as following

angular.element(document.querySelector('[ng-controller="HeaderCtrl"]')).scope().myFunc()

Here HeaderCtrl is the controller name defined in your JS

Please check this answer

// In angularJS script
$scope.foo = function() {
    console.log('test');
};
$window.angFoo = function() {
    $scope.foo();
    $scope.$apply(); 
};
    
// In jQuery
if (window.angFoo) {
    window.angFoo();
}

Try this:

const scope = angular.element(document.getElementById('YourElementId')).scope();
scope.$apply(function(){
     scope.myfunction('test');
});
