Compiling AngularJS Code with ng-bind-html

In AngularJS, the ng-bind-html directive can dynamically insert HTML content into a view. However, if the included content contains AngularJS code, it won't be interpreted correctly. This is where the problem of compiling AngularJS code within ng-bind-html arises.

To resolve this issue, an external directive called angular-bind-html-compile can be employed. Here's a step-by-step solution:

Step 1: Installation

Install the angular-bind-html-compile directive from GitHub: https://github.com/incuna/angular-bind-html-compile

Step 2: Include in Module

Add the directive to the AngularJS module:

angular.module("app", ["angular-bind-html-compile"])

Step 3: Usage in Template

In the template, use the bind-html-compile directive to inject the desired content:

Example:

// Controller Object
$scope.letter = { user: { name: "John"}};

// JSON Response
{ "letterTemplate":[
    { content: "Dear {{letter.user.name}}," }
]}

Result:

  Dear John,

Note: The directive watches for changes in the bound expression and recompiles the content whenever necessary. This allows AngularJS code embedded within an API response to be interpreted and executed dynamically.
