Element from scope?

[Matt Hughes]

You can get the scope associated with a given DOM element via:

angular.element(foo).scope(). 

Are you able to do the reverse?  I have the scope, but I want the element associated with it.

$scope is not associated with just one element if it's in a controller, and if you were using a directive, I do not think you would ask this question.   No, I don't believe there's a way to access a reference to an element from a controller's $scope.

This sounds like bad practice.   What is it you are trying to accomplish that you believe you need an element reference from scope?

[Matt Hughes]

I am in a directive.  Specifically https://github.com/wix/angular-tree-control/blob/master/angular-tree-control.js.  It's a recursive directive as the name might suggest; it associates data with child scope.  In this particular directive, it is really just element == scope.  They pass the scope around to a bunch of functions and I was hoping to be able to manipulate the associated element node in the same function.

The link function has a reference to the element.  I cannot guess at what you are trying to do, so you'll have to play around to see if you have access to what you want, where you want it.  Good luck!
