Calling controller function from jquery

Question

I have this controller attached to a div:

.controller('ShowInverterConnectController', ['$scope', '$location', function($scope, $location) {

....

}])

I would like to use the $location argument of it.

I am currently doing this:

angular.element('.ng-scope').scope().$apply(function() {
    console.log('test:', angular.element('.ng-scope').scope().$location);
});

But $location is coming out undefined, is there anyway to use $location?

Thanks

are you using angular.element.... within the controller or out of controller? — Bhojendra Rauniyar

Not sure what you are trying to do with Angular service outside of the app, but I assume you have a good reason, because in many cases this will be considered bad practice. Anyway.

$location is not a property of the scope, so you can't get it like you are trying. However you can use $injector service to retrieve other services like $location:

angular.element('.ng-scope').scope().$apply(function() {
    console.log('test:', angular.element('.ng-scope').injector().get('$location'));
});

Thank you very much for such a fast reply! We have a jquery mobile app we're converting to angularjs for speed but a huge bulk of it cannot be converted within reasonable time, so we are forced to use a mix for this release. Thanks very much.

Would getting $location via injector() be the preferred way over setting a variable within the controller? Like to $scope.loc = $location and then go angular.element('.ng-scope').loc?

I would go with $injector, so you don't pollute scope with properties that are not needed to business logic.
