Angularjs service callback to update scope of controller

Question

A service with a 3rd party library callback function:

mbAppModule.service(\'aService\', function ($http) {
    this.data={\"somedata\":0};
    var m3rdPartLib=\         


        

Answer 1

I needed to update an input field from a service because it had listeners and what not that changed data randomly and dynamically.

This could be used to call scope functions in the controller as well:

//scope will be set to current scope of a controller
//which has an ng-view containing this element    
var scope = angular.element('#input-element').scope();
//wrap changes in an apply call to make sure view and model are consistent
scope.$apply(function() {
    scope.object.data = value;
});
