There are couple of ways to do register a callback once a digest is completed.
Using $$postDigest:
$scope.$$postDigest fires a callback after the current $digest cycle completed.
However this runs only once after the next digest cycle. To make it run after each digest cycle run it along with $watch. This is based on the code sample given here
var hasRegistered = false;
$scope.$watch(function() {
if (hasRegistered) return;
hasRegistered = true;
$scope.$$postDigest(function() {
hasRegistered = false;
fn();
});
});
The $watch can get triggered multiple times during a digest cycle so we use a flag hasRegistered to prevent $$postDigest callback to be registered multiple times.
Note: $$postDigest will not trigger another digest cycle. So any modifcation to $scope inside $$postDigest will not get reflected in the dom. $$ means this is a private function in angularjs, so the function is not stable and may change in the future.
Using $timeout:
$timeout(function(){
console.log("Running after the digest cycle");
},0,false);
This runs after the current digest cycle is complete.
Note: The third argument is set to false to prevent another digest cycle trigger.
