How to get reference to $compile in AngularJS outside of Angular instructions?

Question

Angular

It so happened that I have nowhere to inject $compile. Those. there is a completely unrelated to angular code that receives the HTML containing the angular controller and I need to compile it. App already exists on the page.
How to correctly get a link to $compile?

Answer 1

So what's the point if you don't have an application with a controller? Without them, even if you take $compile, you can't really do anything. If it is, then angular.bootstrap

Answer 2

If the page already has an Angular application, then you can have an element with a controller with the necessary dependencies (including $compile) and methods for processing your data.
You can get this controller using an expression like angular.element(element).controller() . And you can do whatever you want with it.
And don't forget to call your controller via scope.$apply() if your calls will change the contents of the scope. The element's scope itself can be obtained in the same way as the controller.
