update markers when not watched - angularjs

In angular-leaflet-directive is there a way how to update markers and paths on the map when we switch off the $watch using markersWatchOptions?

I think you are look for something similar to this example:
http://angular-ui.github.io/ui-leaflet/examples/0000-viewer.html#/mixed/overlays-markers-nested-no-watch-example
In which, markers are updated via getDirectiveControls().
There is more about it in this issue:

ChartistJS : Converting jQuery solution to AngularJS

I am using Chartist JS for my charts in my Angular JS app. The issue is I am seeing this here. There is a JS bin that highlights the issue. The author gives a solution for it. The solution is doing DOM manipulations in Jquery which is easy to do. However with AngularJS the way you manipulate the DOM is via Directives. I have created a plunker here which highlights the same issue in Angular JS but I am confused as to how to put the solution provided by author into my Angular code.
Here is the solution
$('[data-tab]').on('toggled', function (event, tab) {
tab.find('.ct-chart').each(function(i, e) {
e.__chartist__.update();
});
});
Edit: As requested the JSFiddle is updated, so what I am trying to do is. I have three different tabs and three different graphs, whenever I click on them I should see the respective graph. To make the tab behavior possible I have written a basic code using scope and model. which facilitates the changing of tabs. The issue is that the chart is getting created for first or default tab but not for the second and third tab. There is a solution given by the author but I don't know how to implement that in AngualrJS
the jQuery solution that you post is basically finding all the chart references and then doing DOM manipulation and call the update() function.
The key is how to find the chart to update in Angular.
In this case, you can assign a variable when you create a chart. For example:
var chart4 = new Chartist.Bar('#chart4', data1);
var chart5 = new Chartist.Bar('#chart5', data2);
Now you have the reference of the chart. All you have to do is to call update() function to render the chart again.
if (value === "allDrivers") {
$scope.tab = "All";
chart4.update();
}
Here is the working plunker
One thing I like to point out is: right now you need to double click the tab in order to see the chart is being rendered or you resize the browser window. I am still trying to find a way to fix this. But at least this approach gives you an idea how to convert the jQuery solution to Angular solution.
I was able to solve this using angular.element() method. So if you wish you use jquery in your angular code. You have to do this via angular.element method. But make sure to include jquery before angular in your index.html
If jQuery is available, angular.element is an alias for the jQuery
function. If jQuery is not available, angular.element delegates to
Angular's built-in subset of jQuery, called "jQuery lite" or jqLite.
I did not know this. From here it was learning for me. Following advice of #pieterjandesmedt from this post. I was able to do this. For other people who want to learn how this works. I have created a GitHub repo which gives a solution to this issue. The link for problem is given in the question. Hope that helps

AngularJS: Force ng-repeat update when property of an element changes

I'm wrestling with the way angular watches arrays. I have the following markup:
<map name="theMap" center="{{mapInfo.center.toUrlValue()}}" zoom="{{mapInfo.zoom}}" on-dragend="dragEnd()" on-zoom_changed="zoomChanged()">
<marker ng-repeat="pin in pins() track by pin.iconKey()" position="{{pin.latitude}}, {{pin.longitude}}" title="{{pin.streetAddress}}" pinindex="{{$index}}" on-click="click()"
icon="{{pin.icon()}}"></marker>
</map>
Each individual pin returned by pins() has a number of properties, sub-properties, etc. One of those sub-properties controls the marker color. When that subproperty changes I want the UI to update.
Because ng-repeat appears to $watch based on simply changes to the collection it's not obvious how to achieve that. I thought that my tracking function, iconKey(), would do it because it returns a different value depending upon the subproperty's value. But that didn't work.
One other thing: the subproperty gets changed in the callback from an $interval that runs under a directive. I mention this because, in an earlier post, someone thought that there might be a context/scope problem.
However, even when I make the change in an event listener within the UI's controller (where the event is raised within the "success" clause of the $interval callback) it still doesn't work.
That's why I think the problem is just angular not noticing the change in iconKey(); it's acting like all it $watches for ng-repeat is the array's length. Which doesn't change when the subproperty changes.
Update
I've created a plunker to demonstrate the issue I'm facing. You can find it at http://plnkr.co/edit/50idft4qaxqw1CduYkOd
It's a cut down version of the app I'm building, but it contains the essential elements (e.g., a data context service to hold information about the map pins and an $interval service to toggle the subproperty of one of the pin array elements).
You start the update cycle by clicking Start in the menu bar (you may want to drag the map down slightly to put both pins into full view). It should toggle the color of each pin, alternatively, 5 times each, once every 2 seconds. It does this by toggling the value of the isDirty property of the pin object in a listener defined in the controller. The event is raised by the $interval service.
If you break on line 22 during the test cycle you'll see the pin's icon being returned. So something within angular is calling for the information...but the pin color doesn't change.
I look forward to someone quickly pointing out the bone-headed mistake that has nothing to do with any of my theories :). Apologies in advance for whatever blinders I'm wearing.
Update 2
After checking out the code snippet in the response I simplified my plnkr and demonstrated that angular is, in fact, updating the UI when a subproperty changes. So this appears to be a limitation or bug in ng-map.
What you are missing here is the concept of array and function your function pins() passes an array and that array is been bound with ng-repeat. But the brutal fact here is that no matter what that array is never changed, because you do not have ANY reference to that array hence the rg-repeat will always remain as is...
I'll suggest to try get the array be referenced two ways to do that
ng-init="pinsArray = pins()"
and second inside controller
$scope.pinsArray = $scope.pins()
then make changes to $scope.pinsArray inside controller
ng-repeat will be changed to
ng-repeat="pin in pinsArray"
also read about filters I am guessing that's what you where trying to do with "track by"
hope this helps..
Edit: different story with ngMap markers
seems like it doesn't watch sub-property.
so here's a work around
add following statement to you update the pinsArray after making changes to its properties.
pinsArray = angular.copy(pinsArray);

Backbone view based on model from collection, how to update view?

I am looking for a bit of direction I am still fairly new to Backbone and am currently creating a test application to learn more.
My problem is this, I am populating a backbone view with a underscore template. I load a collection of models, then I find the model I need and populate these values into the template. There can be many pages based on the template so I have a dynamic route that accepts an id.
My problem is I want to add a next feature, that would change the current page and reload the template with the new model.
I have tried a crude method along the lines of :
Backbone.history.navigate(newLocation)
However this did'nt work, please note newLocation is actually populated with the route and the id I want to navigate to.
I will add some code from my view below, I won't include the full code however if it is needed please ask.
Any help or a push in the right direction would be great.
Thanks in advance
You need to use your router object's navigate method rather than than history's class method, and you need to pass it the option `{trigger: true} in order to invoke the corresponding route function.

Hi I am using jvectormap and I am looking for a way to detect the current zoomstep. Anyone an idea?

Hi I am using jvectormap and I am looking for a way to get the current zoomstep (after a pinch/zoom). Anyone an idea?
if you use the version 1.2.2 you can listen the event onViewportChange, this event receive two params (event,number), the number is the zoom level.
if you use the version 1.1.1 you need make changes in the js check my changes:http://pastebin.com/s5GwcEMy
i add the onViewportChange event to the api.
Other way is get the map reference:
map = $("#world-map-gdp").vectorMap('get', 'mapObject');
and get the scale:
var scale = map.scale;

Image crop with AngularJS

I want to let the user crop an image, I found this JQuery plugin - http://deepliquid.com/content/Jcrop.html
I tried to use it with Angular-ui's Jquery passthrough option, adding the ui-jq=Jcrop directive to the <img>
The problem is that If I use ng-src to dynamically change the image it doesn't work and nothing is seen. If I change it to src and put a static url I can see the image and Jcrop.
how can I fix that ?
also, how can I listen to Jcrop's callbacks to know what is the user's selection ?
is there a better / simpler way to add image cropping functionality to AngularJS ?
Here is my solution:
I've written a directive that create img element and apply plugin on it. When src is changed, this img is removed and content that was created by plugin is also destroyed and then re-created new img with new src and again applied plugin on it.
Also provided 'selected' callback to be able to get coordinated that were selected (wrapped in $apply so you can modify your scope values in it).
Check my solution at Plunker
I've built a demo using AngularJS and Jcrop here:
Demo: https://coolaj86.github.com/angular-image-crop
On Github: https://github.com/coolaj86/angular-image-crop
You can leverage ui-event to create an event definition object with the keys being the event names and the values being the callbacks. Or you can simply pass these events as options to Jcrop (according to the documentation)
Finally, there is a new update coming to ui-jq that lets you add ui-refresh which is an expression to be watched to re-trigger the plugin.
Theoretically you should be able to do
<img ui-jq="Jcrop"
ui-options="{onSelect:myCallback}"
ui-event="{onChange:'myCallback($event)'}"
ui-refresh="imgSrc"
ng-src="imgSrc" />
Note: this simply re-fires the passthrough again, and doesn't automatically mean this will fix the problem or that the plugin will behave properly when re-initialized
We're still working on a good way to allow you to trigger different events at different times.
