I am using ng-bind-html
for binding data that I get from database.
<p ng-bind-html="myHTML"></p>
app.controller('customersCtrl', function($scope, $http, $stateParams) {
console.log($stateParams.id);
$http.get("api link"+$stateParams.id)
.then(function(response) {
$scope.myHTML = response.data.content;
// this will highlight the code syntax
$('pre code').each(function(i, block) {
hljs.highlightBlock(block);
});
});
});
When the data displayed on the screen, I want to run
$('pre code').each(function(i, block) {
hljs.highlightBlock(block);
});
for highlight the code syntax in the data but it is not highlight. (I use highlight library in CKEditor for highlight the code syntax)
And if I delay load the highlight code after 1s, it will work but I think it is not a good solution
setTimeout(function () {
$('pre code').each(function(i, block) {
hljs.highlightBlock(block);
});
}, 1000);
I think maybe the highlight code run before ng-bind-html
finished.

UPDATE
I am using $timeout
with delay time 0 as some person recommend. However, sometime when the network is slow and the page load slow, the code will not highlighted .
$scope.myHTML = response.data.content;
$timeout(function() {
$('pre code').each(function(i, block) {
hljs.highlightBlock(block);
});
}, 0);
This is where directives come in very handy. Why not append the HTML yourself and then run the highlighter?
Template:
<div ng-model="myHTML" highlight></div>
Directive:
.directive('highlight', [
function () {
return {
replace: false,
scope: {
'ngModel': '='
},
link: function (scope, element) {
element.html(scope.ngModel);
var items = element[0].querySelectorAll('code,pre');
angular.forEach(items, function (item) {
hljs.highlightBlock(item);
});
}
};
}
]);

So here's what is happening:
- You update the
$scope.myHTML
value
- You run your jQuery
each()
loop
- The digest cycle runs and your template is updated
Notice that the digest cycle runs after your jQuery each()
loop -- or, more specifically, after your $http
callback function is finished running.
That means the value of $scope.myHTML
in your controller is not applied to the ng-bind-html
directive until after your loop has already finished.
To overcome this, you could use Angular's $timeout service instead of the native browser setTimeout()
method. By default, $timeout
will invoke the callback function during the next digest cycle, which means it will run after the changes to $scope.myHTML
are applied to the ng-bind-html
directive (as long as you update $scope.myHTML
before calling $timeout()
).
Working example: JSFiddle
as you know the statements execute asynchronously, if there is no timeout
$('pre code') will be empty as the DOM is still not rendered.
use $timeout instead of setTimeout for the same.
