How to get access to element from controller? #9

Closed fidoboy closed 9 years ago

fidoboy commented 9 years ago

I can get the target element (using event.target) but how can i get the element where the hammer directive is located? Thanks

You can use standard DOM traversals to get to the parent or child element that has actually registered for the event. Does this address your problem, or am I missing something?

fidoboy commented 9 years ago

I already know that, but it could be a bit complex depending on the DOM structure. I was asking because I thought that the angular directive could expose the element in some way...

fidoboy commented 9 years ago

event.element = element before the scope.apply could solve this problem and this way expose the object allowing to use it from the app controller.

That was exactly what I was just thinking. I'll take a look at it later today.

In the meantime, check out the srcEvent object: http://hammerjs.github.io/api/#event-object

That might get you what you want, though I haven't actually tried to verify that at all.
