angularJS how to $eval the function with parameter - angularjs

Question

I am trying to implement the directive, in the directive, I want to $eval the values which contains the function name and parameter value:
Html page:
<select mydirective="action('pValue')">
AngularJS directive code:
app.directive('mydirective', function ($timeout) {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function ($scope, element, attr) {
$timeout(function () {
$scope.$eval(attr.mydirective);
});
}
}
What I am expected is it will invoke the action function define in scope and pass the pValue as function parameter. How can I make it work please?

Answer 1

What you want happen automatically, the function will invoke with the value, this is the purpose of eval:
var app = angular.module('plunker', []);
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.name = 'World';
$scope.action = function(val) {
alert(val);
}
});
app.directive('mydirective', function($timeout) {
return {
restrict: 'A',
link: function($scope, element, attr) {
$timeout(function() {
$scope.$eval(attr.mydirective);
});
}
}
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.21/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="plunker" ng-controller="MainCtrl">
<select mydirective="action('pValue')"></select>
</div>

For those whom looking for a way to pass $event info to custom directive method see example below:
TEMPLATE:
<div on-touch-end="onTouchEnd( 'some data' )">
TOUCH ME!
</div>
CONTROLLER:
$scope.onTouchEnd = function( data ) {
console.log("onTouchEnd event with data", data, event );
};
DIRECTIVE:
.directive('onTouchEnd', function() {
return {
restrict : 'A',
link : function( $scope, $element, $attr ) {
$element.on('touchend', function( event ) {
$scope.$apply(function() {
$scope.$eval( $attr.onTouchEnd );
});
});
}
}
})
