[javascript] Angular.js: set element height on page load

Combining matty-j suggestion with the snippet of the question, I ended up with this code focusing on resizing the grid after the data was loaded.

The HTML:

<div ng-grid="gridOptions" class="gridStyle"></div>

The directive:

angular.module('myApp.directives', [])
    .directive('resize', function ($window) {
        return function (scope, element) {

            var w = angular.element($window);
            scope.getWindowDimensions = function () {
                return { 'h': w.height(), 'w': w.width() };
            };
            scope.$watch(scope.getWindowDimensions, function (newValue, oldValue) {

                // resize Grid to optimize height
                $('.gridStyle').height(newValue.h - 250);
            }, true);

            w.bind('resize', function () {
                scope.$apply();
            });
        }
    });

The controller:

angular.module('myApp').controller('Admin/SurveyCtrl', function ($scope, $routeParams, $location, $window, $timeout, Survey) {

    // Retrieve data from the server
    $scope.surveys = Survey.query(function(data) {

        // Trigger resize event informing elements to resize according to the height of the window.
        $timeout(function () {
            angular.element($window).resize();
        }, 0)
    });

    // Configure ng-grid.
    $scope.gridOptions = {
        data: 'surveys',
        ...
    };
}
