How can I tell when audioPlayer is initialized? about angular-media-player

[colthreepv]

mmh you're quite right, it might come up handy.

I think that angular does compile the directive AFTER the link function so i am in a bit of trouble finding the right place to call for $rootScope.$emit

[colthreepv]

I lied, it wasn't hard after all!

How to use it:

angular.module('docs')
.controller('InteractiveController', function ($scope, top100SongsEver, $log) {
  $scope.$on('audioplayer:ready', function (evt, instance) {
    debugger;
    // Here you can use 'instance' as the created audioPlayer
    instance.load();
  });
});

Keep note that the default name is 'audioplayer' 😱 (such creativity!), so the event for the 99% of users will be called audioplayer:ready

About releasing this feature: i need to make a minor release, and i will do it as soon as i have more time, you can build it quite easily with grunt build in meantime

@aw-emberex tell me if that is what you were after

As @aw-emberex reported:

When this event is fired, the exposed player on my containing scope is still not set ("$scope.audio1") per the example. Is this something the plugin can remedy or is it a angular thing/issue?

This is true.
I googled the best i could to find informations about how angular.js isolated scopes and their two-way databinding work, it is still unclear to me when and how the databinding gets done.
I can suppose it happens after the linking function is done executing, so probably using:

$timeout(function () {
  $log.debug($scope.audio1);
});

Would find your $scope populated

This is the best link i could find.
To have a better idea i've to dive into the code, something i will do, but.. really... when i have time for that ;)

Is the ability to set a name in the main branch yet?
I still have a forked version I'm using so I can have properly namespaced audio players. I have several on a page.

Name is not useful anymore since events will not be sent to $rootScope.
