This may seem like a silly question but I need to know how to watch the entire DOM of a page and recompile it any time it changes. Essentially this is what AngularJS does by default by use of databindings, but I need this to happen anytime anything in the DOM is changed, not just bindings. The reason why is because I have an app that is built entirely in HTML, Javascript and PHP. It's a single page application, it has a main page and injects PHP into a DIV wrapper within that page.
I want to make some modifications to it but want to keep my code completely separate from the original code. To do this I need to be able to recompile the DOM anytime a new PHP file with it's own DOM structure is injected. What I have so far does not appear to be working.
app.directive("watch", function () {
return function (scope, element, attr) {
scope.$watch("watch", function(oldValue, newValue) {
if(newValue) {
console.log("there is a new value");
console.log("the new value is " + newValue);
}
});
}
});
I add the watch attribute the the <body> tag but it doesn't seem to work, when the dom is changed nothing gets logged. Ultimately I'd like to replace the console.log with $compile, but I first need to get the watch to work. Can someone point me to what I'm doing wrong?
