UPDATE
- I made some optimizations.
- I use ngModel.$formatters ! no need for another $watch.
- I use $timeout and then scope.$apply to avoid $digest in progress errors.
Angular.js & Performance
- If you hit performance maybe your application is using too many $watch / $on.
- In my experience, using 3rd-party libraries can cause all sort of non efficient / memory leaking behavior, mostly because it was not implemented with angular / SPA in mind.
- I was able to do some smart integration for some libraries but some just don't fit well to angular's world.
- If your application must show 1000+ questions you should probably start with writing your custom repeater, and prefer dynamic DOM insertions.
- Angular.js will not perform well with tons of data bindings unless you are willing to write some smart lower level stuff (It's actually fun when you know how!).
- Again, prefer pagination! As Misko Hevery says: "You can't really show more than about 2000 pieces of information to a human on a single page. Anything more than that is really bad UI, and humans can't process this anyway".
- Read this: How does data binding work in AngularJS?
- I'm more than happy to help you, but First let me show the code (contact me)..
Solution:
var app = angular.module('App', []);
app.directive('pagedownAdmin', function ($compile, $timeout) {
var nextId = 0;
var converter = Markdown.getSanitizingConverter();
converter.hooks.chain("preBlockGamut", function (text, rbg) {
return text.replace(/^ {0,3}""" *\n((?:.*?\n)+?) {0,3}""" *$/gm, function (whole, inner) {
return "<blockquote>" + rbg(inner) + "</blockquote>\n";
});
});
return {
require: 'ngModel',
replace: true,
template: '<div class="pagedown-bootstrap-editor"></div>',
link: function (scope, iElement, attrs, ngModel) {
var editorUniqueId;
if (attrs.id == null) {
editorUniqueId = nextId++;
} else {
editorUniqueId = attrs.id;
}
var newElement = $compile(
'<div>' +
'<div class="wmd-panel">' +
'<div id="wmd-button-bar-' + editorUniqueId + '"></div>' +
'<textarea class="wmd-input" id="wmd-input-' + editorUniqueId + '">' +
'</textarea>' +
'</div>' +
'<div id="wmd-preview-' + editorUniqueId + '" class="pagedown-preview wmd-panel wmd-preview"></div>' +
'</div>')(scope);
iElement.html(newElement);
var help = function () {
alert("There is no help");
}
var editor = new Markdown.Editor(converter, "-" + editorUniqueId, {
handler: help
});
var $wmdInput = iElement.find('#wmd-input-' + editorUniqueId);
var init = false;
editor.hooks.chain("onPreviewRefresh", function () {
var val = $wmdInput.val();
if (init && val !== ngModel.$modelValue ) {
$timeout(function(){
scope.$apply(function(){
ngModel.$setViewValue(val);
ngModel.$render();
});
});
}
});
ngModel.$formatters.push(function(value){
init = true;
$wmdInput.val(value);
editor.refreshPreview();
return value;
});
editor.run();
}
}
});
