Please always try to use model rather than using primitive types while using the ng-model because of the javascript's prototypical hierarchies.
angular.module('facet.directives').directive('paginate', function () {
return {
restrict: 'E',
replace: true,
template: '<div class="pull-right discovery-pagination" ng-if="(totalPages !== undefined) && (totalPages > 0)">' +
'<span class="left-caret hoverable" ng-click="changePage(current-1)" ng-show="current > 1"></span> Page' +
' <input type="number" ng-model="current.paging" class="pagination-input" ng-keypress="enterPage($event)"/> of' +
' {{totalPages}} ' +
'<span class="right-caret hoverable" ng-click="changePage(current+1)" ng-show="current < totalPages"></span>' +
'</div>',
scope: {
goToPage: '&',
totalPages: '=',
totalHits: '='
},
link: function(scope) {
scope.current = {paging:1};
scope.changePage = function(page) {
scope.current.paging = page;
window.scrollTo(0, 0);
scope.goToPage({ page: page });
};
scope.enterPage = function(event) {
if (event.keyCode == 13) {
scope.changePage(scope.current.paging);
}
};
}
};
});
Hope this will solve your problem :)
