Description

Without the exp parameter triggers an eval cycle for this scope and its child scopes.

With the exp parameter, compiles the expression to a function and calls it with this set to the current scope and returns the result. In other words, evaluates exp as angular expression in the context of the current scope.

Example

         var scope = angular.scope();
         scope.a = 1;
         scope.b = 2;

         expect(scope.$eval('a+b')).toEqual(3);
         expect(scope.$eval(function(){ return this.a + this.b; })).toEqual(3);

         scope.$onEval('sum = a+b');
         expect(scope.sum).toEqual(undefined);
         scope.$eval();
         expect(scope.sum).toEqual(3);

Usage

angular.scope.$eval([exp]);

Parameters

exp(optional) – {(string|function())} –
An angular expression to be compiled to a function or a js function.

Returns

{*} –

The result of calling compiled exp with this set to the current scope.
