AngularJS with OpenLayers

[obura...@gmail.com]

Hi,
I'm evaluating AngularJS for my project which is a web/mobile GIS app that will be using OpenLayers. Currently I'm struggling to initialize OpenLayer from the Angular-driven code. It seems "normal" javascript is not being called called (e.g. by onload event for example). Is there a way to call a function from a third-party library in Angular?

Have you tried running it from a controller?

It's not being called from a controller.

'use strict';

/* Controllers */

function MapViewCtrl($scope, $routeParams) {
    $scope.workspaceName = $routeParams.workspaceName;
    $scope.mapName = $routeParams.mapName;

    initMap();
}

MapViewCtrl.$inject = ['$scope', '$routeParams'];



But I managed to get the function called by wrapping it in a directive.

angular.module('myApp.directives', []).
  directive('appVersion', ['version', function(version) {
    return function(scope, elm, attrs) {
      initMap(); // a JS function declared in other file
      elm.text(version);
    };
  }]);

Are you sure it is not being called. I suspect it is but that the library is relying on the scope being bound to some element before the call.

You could try putting the call to initMap in a $timeout to ensure the digest has updated everything.
