Accessing ng-click when rendered via $sce.trustAsHtml - angularjs

Question

How do i get access to the ng-click function (updateRating) in the below?
https://jsfiddle.net/by2jax5v/171/
I'm using $sce.trustAsHtml to render $scope.content
$scope.bindHTML = $sce.trustAsHtml($scope.content);

Answer 1

Your above code does get compiled but it is sanitized by angular js considering an anchor tag as insecure, therefore ng-click does not work.
what you want to achieve can be achieved by using ng-html-compile by francis bouvier instead of ng-bind-html. It the thinnest library i have seen just 1kb. https://github.com/francisbouvier/ng_html_compile

As it's not $compiled. so it doesn't tell Angular to search through that HTML and compile directives within it. You will have to use custom directive for this.
Updated fiddle.
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.content = "This text is <em>html capable</em> meaning you can have <a ng-click='updateRating(1)' href=\"#\">all</a> sorts <b>of</b> html in here.";
$scope.updateRating = function(message) {
alert(message);
}
});
myApp.directive('compile', ['$compile', function ($compile) {
return function(scope, element, attrs) {
scope.$watch(
function(scope) {
// watch the 'compile' expression for changes
return scope.$eval(attrs.compile);
},
function(value) {
// when the 'compile' expression changes
// assign it into the current DOM
element.html(value);
// compile the new DOM and link it to the current
// scope.
// NOTE: we only compile .childNodes so that
// we don't get into infinite loop compiling ourselves
$compile(element.contents())(scope);
}
);
};
}]);
