ng-repeat finish event

Question

I want to call some jQuery function targeting div with table. That table is populated with ng-repeat.

When I call it on

$(document).r         


        

Answer 1

Here is a repeat-done directive that calls a specified function when true. I have found that the called function must use $timeout with interval=0 before doing DOM manipulation, such as initializing tooltips on the rendered elements. jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/tQw6w/

In $scope.layoutDone, try commenting out the $timeout line and uncommenting the "NOT CORRECT!" line to see the difference in the tooltips.

<ul>
    <li ng-repeat="feed in feedList" repeat-done="layoutDone()" ng-cloak>
    <a href="{{feed}}" title="view at {{feed | hostName}}" data-toggle="tooltip">{{feed | strip_http}}</a>
    </li>
</ul>

JS:

angular.module('Repeat_Demo', [])

    .directive('repeatDone', function() {
        return function(scope, element, attrs) {
            if (scope.$last) { // all are rendered
                scope.$eval(attrs.repeatDone);
            }
        }
    })

    .filter('strip_http', function() {
        return function(str) {
            var http = "http://";
            return (str.indexOf(http) == 0) ? str.substr(http.length) : str;
        }
    })

    .filter('hostName', function() {
        return function(str) {
            var urlParser = document.createElement('a');
            urlParser.href = str;
            return urlParser.hostname;
        }
    })

    .controller('AppCtrl', function($scope, $timeout) {

        $scope.feedList = [
            'http://feeds.feedburner.com/TEDTalks_video',
            'http://feeds.nationalgeographic.com/ng/photography/photo-of-the-day/',
            'http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eng/index.rss',
            'http://www.slate.com/blogs/trending.fulltext.all.10.rss',
            'http://feeds.current.com/homepage/en_US.rss',
            'http://feeds.current.com/items/popular.rss',
            'http://www.nytimes.com/services/xml/rss/nyt/HomePage.xml'
        ];

        $scope.layoutDone = function() {
            //$('a[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip(); // NOT CORRECT!
            $timeout(function() { $('a[data-toggle="tooltip"]').tooltip(); }, 0); // wait...
        }

    })

If you simply wants to change the class name so it will rendered differently, below code would do the trick.

<div>
<div ng-show="loginsuccess" ng-repeat="i in itemList">
    <div id="{{i.status}}" class="{{i.status}}">
        <div class="listitems">{{i.item}}</div>
        <div class="listitems">{{i.qty}}</div>
        <div class="listitems">{{i.date}}</div>
        <div class="listbutton">
            <button ng-click="UpdateStatus(i.$id)" class="btn"><span>Done</span></button>
            <button ng-click="changeClass()" class="btn"><span>Remove</span></button>
        </div>
    <hr>
</div>

This code worked for me when I had a similar requirement to render the shopped item in my shopping list in Strick trough font.

This is an improvement of the ideas expressed in other answers in order to show how to gain access to the ngRepeat properties ($index, $first, $middle, $last, $even, $odd) when using declarative syntax and isolate scope (Google recommended best practice) with an element-directive. Note the primary difference: scope.$parent.$last.

angular.module('myApp', [])
.directive('myRepeatDirective', function() {
  return {
    restrict: 'E',
    scope: {
      someAttr: '='
    },
    link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
      angular.element(element).css('color','blue');
      if (scope.$parent.$last){
        window.alert("im the last!");
      }
    }
  };
});

Answer 4

I had to render formulas using MathJax after ng-repeat ends, none of the above answers solved my problem, so I made like below. It's not a nice solution, but worked for me...

<div ng-repeat="formula in controller.formulas">
    <div>{{formula.string}}</div>
    {{$last ? controller.render_formulas() : ""}}
</div>

Answer 5

Complementing Pavel's answer, something more readable and easily understandable would be:

<ul>
    <li ng-repeat="item in items" 
        ng-init="$last ? doSomething() : angular.noop()">{{item}}</li>
</ul>

Why else do you think angular.noop is there in the first place...?

Advantages:

You don't have to write a directive for this...

Answer 6

Maybe a bit simpler approach with ngInit and Lodash's debounce method without the need of custom directive:

Controller:

$scope.items = [1, 2, 3, 4];

$scope.refresh = _.debounce(function() {
    // Debounce has timeout and prevents multiple calls, so this will be called 
    // once the iteration finishes
    console.log('we are done');
}, 0);

Template:

<ul>
    <li ng-repeat="item in items" ng-init="refresh()">{{item}}</li>
</ul>

---

Update

There is even simpler pure AngularJS solution using ternary operator:

Template:

<ul>
    <li ng-repeat="item in items" ng-init="$last ? doSomething() : null">{{item}}</li>
</ul>

Be aware that ngInit uses pre-link compilation phase - i.e. the expression is invoked before child directives are processed. This means that still an asynchronous processing might be required.
