How can I call a function of a controller in Angular from JQuery when using routing. This means there is no controller defined in the HTML! There are many answers out there for doing this when NOT using routing. For example:

angular.element(document.getElementById('yourControllerElementID')).scope().$apply();

But this won't work if you're using routing where the controller is defined in app.js instead of your HTML.

Try to get the scope defined on the ng-view element

angular.element($('[ng-view]')).scope()

and see if it works

  • I can get the scope by doing: var scope = angular.element($('body')).scope(); This is useful for accessing variables but I can't seem to access a function: scope.myFunction();

  • You need the exact scope, parent scope cannot access child scopes.

  • Use batarang to see what element has the scope with the functions you are looking for
