Actually in this case the angular way is not the easy way but the only right way 🙂
You have to write a directive and attach to the element you want to know the height of. And from the controller you $broadcast an event, the directive’ll catch the event and there you can do the DOM manipulation. NEVER in the controller.
var tradesInfo = TradesInfo.get({}, function(data){
console.log(data);
$scope.source.profile = data.profile;
...
$scope.$broadcast('dataloaded');
});
directive('heightStuff', ['$timeout', function ($timeout) {
return {
link: function ($scope, element, attrs) {
$scope.$on('dataloaded', function () {
$timeout(function () { // You might need this timeout to be sure its run after DOM render.
element.width()
element.height()
}, 0, false);
})
}
};
}]);
