AngularJS: Modify Bootstrap Modal after loading content

I want to use this pretty image cropper in my AngularJS project. When I use it the "normal" way, that is on a plain page, everything works fine. The problem is that I want to put it on to the Bootstrap modal dialog.

In order to initialize the cropper, I am supposed to execute this snippet:

$(".cropper").cropper({
    aspectRatio : 1.618,
    done : function(data) {
        console.log(data);
    }
});

But it has to be executed after the DOM of the modal is loaded. So I have tried to run it like this:

$scope.onCropOpen = function() {
    var modalInstance = $modal.open({
        templateUrl : 'cropModal.html',
        controller : CropModalInstanceCtrl
    });

    modalInstance.opened.then(function() {
        $(".cropper").cropper({
            aspectRatio : 1.618,
            done : function(data) {
                console.log(data);
            }
        });
    });
};

Unfortunately, the cropper still is not being initialized. I know that it should work after calling it when the modal is loaded, because I ran it manually from the browser console (with the modal dialog open) and then the cropper "magically" initialized.

Vitali's solution is done the proper way and definitely should be used. But if someone still needs a brute method, this worked for me as well:

modalInstance.opened.then(function() {
    $timeout(function() {
        $(".cropper").cropper({
            aspectRatio : 1.0,
            done : function(data) {
                console.log(data);
            }
        });
    });
});

Generally, this type of solutions should be avoided because timeouts might be treacherous.

Here is a very simple directive that can show you the direction. Instead of defining element with class ".cropper", create element "image-cropper" (since directive name is "imageCropper"):

<image-cropper></image-cropper>

This is a pretty general snippet that should work in similar way for any jquery plugin.

*Don't forget to change module name from "myApp", to the name of your application module...

angular.module("myApp").directive('imageCropper', function ($parse) {
            return {
                restrict: "E",
                replace: true,

                compile: function (element, attrs) {
                    var modelAccessor = $parse(attrs.ngModel);

                    var html = "<img></img>"; 
                    var newElem = $(html); 
                    newElem.attr("src", attrs.src);
                    element.replaceWith(newElem);

                    return function (scope, element, attrs, controller) {

                        element.cropper({
                            aspectRatio : 1.618,
                            done : function(data) {
                                console.log(data);
                            }
                        });

                    };

                }
            };
        });

Try to put the jquery code inside CropModalInstanceCtrl function:

var CropModalInstanceCtrl = function ($scope, $modalInstance) {

   $(".cropper").cropper({
      aspectRatio : 1.618,
      done : function(data) {
         console.log(data);
      }
   });

}
