The scenario I have is to create dynamic table using javascript by passing the data passed from script tag. My javascript code parses the provided json and generates the table header and table body. The table body is generated along with the tags required for angular binding method {{variable_name}}.
But after the DOM is created I need to re-apply the scope to ng-repeat of table.

The dom elements created are as -
The current output I am getting is as -
But the problem is that angular binds all its code at rendering time. How can I use the $scope.watch method or $scope.apply method to get this done after javascript is done.
I was trying to do this using
angular.element(document).ready(function ())
but that's not the correct way I suppose.
I am new to angular. Please guide me. Thanks!
ng-repeatto populate that table. Most tutorials will show this. Go through tutorial on angular docs site step by step. Will save you a lot of problems later understanding the basics
