I\'ve created a directive in Angular that looks like this:
angular.module(\'msfApp\')
.directive(\'listitem\', function () {
return {
1) Problem is the isolated scope. You cannot see the function in the controller scope. One solution is to pass the function reference to the directive:

<body ng-controller="ItemController">
<listitem item="item" item-click="toggleInBasket(item)"></listitem>
</body>
in the directive:
scope: {
'item': '=',
'itemClick': '&'
}
and in the template:
<div class="tsProductAttribute" ng-click="itemClick(item)">
2) Create another function in the directive to toggle selected state and call the controller function:
angular.module('msfApp').directive('listitem', function () {
return {
templateUrl: 'listitem.html',
restrict: 'E',
scope: {
'item': '=',
'itemClick': '&'
},
link: function(scope, iElement, iAttrs) {
scope.selected = false;
scope.toggleState = function(item) {
scope.selected = !scope.selected;
scope.itemClick(item);
}
}
}
});
and toggle the class in the template:
<div class="tsProductAttribute"
ng-class="{'tsProductAttribute--selected': selected}"
ng-click="toggleState(item)">
This is happening because you are using isolated scopes in the directive using scope: { 'item': '=' } which creates a new scope so your ng-click is not able to bind to controller function.

@Macros answer made it work just fine for me! Here's my finished code:
Directive template file:
<div class="tsProductAttribute"
ng-class="{'tsProductAttribute--selected': selected}"
ng-click="toggleState(item)">
<span class="tsProductAttribute-image">
<img ng-src="{{variantImage}}">
</span>
<span class="tsProductAttribute-desc">{{item.productName}}</span>
<select ng-model="variantImage">
<option ng-repeat="variant in item.variants" value="{{variant.image}}">{{variant.name}} - {{variant.listprice.amount}}</option>
</select>
<span class="tsProductAttribute-price">{{item.variants[0].listprice.amount}} {{item.variants[0].listprice.entity}}</span>
</div>
Directive:
angular.module('msfApp')
.directive('listitem', function () {
return {
templateUrl: 'assets/templates/directives/listitem.html',
restrict: 'E',
scope: {
'item': '=',
'itemClick': '='
},
link: function(scope, iElement, iAttrs) {
scope.selected = false;
scope.toggleState = function(item) {
scope.selected = !scope.selected;
scope.itemClick(item);
}
}
}
});
Directive implementation:
<listitem item="item" item-click="toggleInBasket"></listiten>
Function in the Controller:
$scope.toggleInBasket = function(item) {
$scope.basket.toggle(item);
console.log(basket.get());
}
