Image loaded event in for ng-src in AngularJS

I modified this a little so that custom $scope methods can be called:

<img ng-src="{{src}}" imageonload="doThis()" />

The directive:

.directive('imageonload', function() {
        return {
            restrict: 'A',
            link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
                element.bind('load', function() {
                    //call the function that was passed
                    scope.$apply(attrs.imageonload);
                });
            }
        };
    })

Hope someone finds it VERY useful. Thanks @mikach

The doThis() function would then be a $scope method

My answer:

 var img = new Image();
 var imgUrl = "path_to_image.jpg";
 img.src = imgUrl;
 img.onload = function () {
      $scope.pic = img.src;
 }

Here is an example how to call image onload http://jsfiddle.net/2CsfZ/2/

Basic idea is create a directive and add it as attribute to img tag.

JS:

app.directive('imageonload', function() {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
            element.bind('load', function() {
                alert('image is loaded');
            });
            element.bind('error', function(){
                alert('image could not be loaded');
            });
        }
    };
});

HTML:

 <img ng-src="{{src}}" imageonload />

@ Oleg Tikhonov: Just updated the previous code.. @ mikach Thanks..)

app.directive('imageonload', function() {
  return {
    restrict: 'A',
    link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
        element.bind('load', function() {
            alert('image is loaded');
        });
        element.bind('error', function(){
             alert('image could not be loaded');
        });
    }
  };
});
