I'm trying to developpe a chrome extension with angularjs and I have a strange behaviour when I try to initialize the $scope with the url of the active tab.
Here the code of my controller:
var app = angular.module('app', ['app.service']);
app.controller('ItemCtrl', function ($scope, chromeHelper) {
$scope.website = "No result!";
// Does not work until I click on something :-/
chromeHelper.getActiveTabDomain(function (domain) {$scope.website = domain; });
});
So when I try to initialize directly the $scope.website member it doesn't succeed but when I click on the button aftewards $scope.website then updates.
I really don't understand why.
Here is the code of my Chromehelper service:
var service = angular.module('app.service', []);
service.factory('chromeHelper', function() {
var chromeHelper = {};
chromeHelper.getActiveTabDomain = function (callback){
chrome.tabs.query({'active': true}, function(tabs){
if(tabs && tabs.length > 0) callback(getDomainFrom(tabs[0].url));
});
};
return chromeHelper;
});
function getDomainFrom(url) {
return url.match(/:\/\/(.[^/]+)/)[1];
}
Thank you very much in advance!
