How to call methods outside directive controller "GridsterCtrl"? about angular-gridster HOT 6 CLOSED

In the .directive('gridster' directive object, we could probably add a controllerAs property that exposes the GridsterCtrl to the scope. There isn't a toJSON on the controller, but the .grid property allows access to it. I personally haven't needed to access the controller directly, due to the two-way binding of the scope items that Angular allows. Another approach is to replace/merge the gridster options object in the scope with the gridster controller instance. That's what the popular ng-grid directive does.

What do you think?

Thanks for your reponse;
my problem is that i m not able to get grid properties from outside the directive.
sorry, may you show me code for this.

Huh? You are supplying both gridster properties and items data yourself. They are two-way binded (always in sync). So where's the problem then? :) Just read the properties where you passed them into the directive (probably in your own controller).

Yeah, it would help to have a more specific example of what you're trying to do in order to answer this.

This comes down to understanding data binding in angular. This directive doesn't need to be used the same way the jQuery plugin was used.

The issue I'm having is that while the data is bound, other information about the grid is not. I'd like access to the current width/height, current row width and column height. This information is in the controller.
