AngularJS 1.8: implementing Event Handling in Custom Directives and Scope Binding
Does anyone know how to Quick question that's been bugging me - I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but Hey everyone, I'm running into an issue that's driving me crazy. After trying multiple solutions online, I still can't figure this out. I'm working with issues with event handling in a custom AngularJS 1.8 directive that uses isolated scope. My directive is designed to handle a click event, but it seems that the event is not propagating correctly, which leads to unexpected behavior in my application. The directive is supposed to update a value in the controller when the element is clicked, but instead, it often returns `undefined` or fails to update the bound model. Here's a simplified version of my directive: ```javascript app.directive('myClickDirective', function() { return { restrict: 'E', scope: { onClick: '&', modelValue: '=' }, template: '<div ng-click="handleClick()">Click me</div>', link: function(scope, element, attrs) { scope.handleClick = function() { scope.modelValue += 1; // Attempt to update the model value scope.onClick(); // Call the provided function }; } }; }); ``` In the controller, I'm using this directive like this: ```javascript app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) { $scope.counter = 0; $scope.incrementCounter = function() { console.log('Counter incremented: ', $scope.counter); }; }); ``` And I'm using the directive in my HTML as follows: ```html <my-click-directive model-value="counter" on-click="incrementCounter()"></my-click-directive> ``` The question is that when I click the directive, the `counter` does not seem to update as expected. Instead, it logs `Counter incremented: 0` repeatedly, and the click event does not appear to increment the counter. I've tried using `scope.$apply()` within the `handleClick` function, but it doesn't seem to resolve the scenario, and I also receive the warning: `[$rootScope:inprog] $apply already in progress`. What could be going wrong with the scope binding or event handling? Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated! I'm working on a API that needs to handle this. My development environment is Windows. How would you solve this? I'd really appreciate any guidance on this. My team is using Javascript for this CLI tool. Could someone point me to the right documentation? The project is a CLI tool built with Javascript.
