AngularJS - add HTML element to dom in directive without jQuery

Question

I have an AngularJS directive in which I want to add a svg tag to the current element of the directive  Right now I do this with the help of jQuery  link  function  scope  iElement  iAttrs         var svgTag       lt svg width  600  height  100  class  svg  gt  lt  svg gt           svgTag  appendTo iElement 0                     Yet I don t want the directive to depend on jQuery for this simple task  How would I accomplish the same with AngularJS means  or native JavaScript code

Why not to try simple  but powerful  html   method   iElement html   lt svg width  600  height  100  class  svg  gt  lt  svg gt       Or append as an alternative   iElement append   lt svg width  600  height  100  class  svg  gt  lt  svg gt       And   of course   more cleaner way    var svg   angular element   lt svg width  600  height  100  class  svg  gt  lt  svg gt      iElement append svg     Fiddle  http   jsfiddle net cherniv AgGwK

In angularJS  you can use angular element which is the lite version of jQuery  You can do pretty much everything with it  so you don t need to include jQuery   So basically  you can rewrite your code to something like this    link  function  scope  iElement  iAttrs      var svgTag   angular element   lt svg width  600  height  100  class  svg  gt  lt  svg gt       angular element svgTag  appendTo iElement 0

If your destination element is empty and will only contain the  lt svg gt  tag you could consider using ng-bind-html as follow    Declare your HTML tag in the directive scope variable  link  function  scope  iElement  iAttrs         scope svgTag     lt svg width  600  height  100  class  svg  gt  lt  svg gt                 Then  in your directive template  just add the proper attribute at the exact place you want to append the svg tag     lt  -- start of directive template code -- gt       lt  -- end of directive template code -- gt   lt div ng-bind-html  svgTag  gt  lt  div gt    Don t forget to include ngSanitize to allow ng-bind-html to automatically parse the HTML string to trusted HTML and avoid insecure code injection warnings    See official documentation for more details
