Updating ngSrc doesn't work

[John B.]

Hi all,

I am trying to update ng-src of an image from inside a controller, after receiving an event (after $compile). But it doesn't work.

The event is received, but the image source doesn't update.

Please see my Plunkr.

Any ideas why?

Regards

John

Turns out I need to use $scopy.$apply. http://plnkr.co/edit/W08AfPjDrgJMpZMWwMaM?p=preview

Thanks a lot to user bc on IRC. I'm sure I would have wasted another hour ;)

Hi!

While your plunker works I would suggest to move scope.apply to the
sending end since in there you _know for sure_ that you are "outside
of AngularJS world" (DOM event handler):

Personally I wouldn't probably use events here and simply relay on
data binding here, but feel free to ignore this remark as I'm not 100%
sure what is the purpose of your directive :-)

Cheers,
Pawel

Thank you Pawel, that makes sense. I have changed my code accordingly.
The Plunker was a very simplification of my problem, in reality I would rely on data binding as well :)
