@name Developer Guide: Angular HTML Compiler: Widgets: Creating Custom Widgets
@description
When you create your own widgets, you must set up your own namespace for them. (See
dev_guide.bootstrap Initializing Angular} for information about namespaces in angular.)
Let's say we would like to create a new element type in the namespace `my` that can watch an
expression and `alert()` the user with each new value:
// An element widget
You can implement `my:watch` like this:
angular.widget('my:watch', function(compileElement) {
var compiler = this;
var exp = compileElement.attr('exp');
return function(linkElement) {
var currentScope = this;
currentScope.$watch(exp, function(value){
alert(value);
});
};
});
# Creating a Custom Attribute Widget
Let's implement the same widget as in the example in Defining an Element Widget, but this time as
an attribute that can be added to any existing DOM element:
// An attribute widget (my:watch) in a div tag
text
You can implement `my:watch` attribute like this:
angular.widget('@my:watch', function(expression, compileElement) {
var compiler = this;
return function(linkElement) {
var currentScope = this;
currentScope.$watch(expression, function(value) {
alert(value);
});
};
});
# Live Example of a Custom Element Widget
# Additional Compiler Methods for Custom Widgets
The angular compiler exposes methods that you may need to use of when writing your own widgets and
directives. For example, the `descend()` method lets you control whether the compiler ignores or
processes child elements of the element it is compiling. For information on this and other
compiler methods, see the {@link api/angular.module.ng.$compile Compiler API doc}.
