Reference to created chart object about angular-chart.js HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks for the great suggestion. This is now implemented and published in 0.4.0. You can now listen to the create and update events on the scope and retrieve the chart as the argument:

$scope.$on('create', function (chart) {
  console.log(chart);
});

Note that the event can be emitted multiple times for each chart as the chart can be destroyed and
created multiple times due to angular watch lifecycle.

from angular-chart.js.

Just to add a little update note, the listener function get the event object as the first param, so the solution is:

$scope.$on('create', function (event, chart) {
  console.log(chart);
});

from angular-chart.js.

Thanks a lot @newtonwagner. Suggestion saved me a lot of time!

from angular-chart.js.

Just wanted to add that as version 1.0.0 of angular-chart.js (It uses Chart.js 2) the code required to make this is

$scope.$on('chart-create', function (event, chart) {
    console.log(chart);
});
