AngularJS directive binding a function with multiple arguments
Solution 1:
Alternative method that will survive minification
Leave your html as it was:
<my-directive on-drop="handleDrop"></my-directive>
Change the call to:
scope.onDrop()('123','125')
Notice the extra opening and closing parenthesis given to onDrop. This will instantiate the function instead of injecting the function's code.
Why is it better
Changing the parameters' names in the
handleDrop()definition (or even adding some more, if you handle it correctly) will not make you change each of the directives injections in the html. much DRYer.As @TrueWill suggested, I'm almost sure the other solutions will not survive minification, while this way code stays with maximum flexibility and is name agnostic.
Another personal reason is the object syntax, which makes me write much more code:
functionName({xName: x, yName: y}) // (and adding the function signature in every directive call)
As opposed to
functionName()(x,y) // (zero maintenance to your html)
I found this great solution here.
Solution 2:
There is one small mistake in your code, please try the code below and it should work for you
<!doctype html>
<html ng-app="test">
<head>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.0.8/angular.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="test" >
<!-- tabs -->
<div my-directive on-drop="handleDrop(elementId,file)"></div>
<script>
var app = angular.module('test', []);
app.directive('myDirective', function () {
return {
scope: {
onDrop: '&'
},
link: function (scope, elem, attrs) {
var elementId = 123;
var file = 124;
scope.onDrop({elementId:'123',file:'125'});
}
}
});
app.controller('test', function ($scope) {
alert("inside test");
$scope.handleDrop = function (elementId, file) {
alert(file);
}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
