Can angular $timeout be used as a reliable dom ready?

Working with a library which need to be called after dom ready. And I just used the init function with $timeout from the controller's init.

Can $timeout be used as a reliable dom ready event ?

Thanks.

AngularJS will bootstrap the application when the static DOM content is loaded. You can see from the diagram below, that AngularJS also has a dynamic DOM which is built when the directives are compiled and linked.

You can rely on $timeout called from inside of your directive's link function to execute after the $digest cycle has executed and all the models on scope have stabalised:

link: function() {
    $timeout(function() {
       // after $digest
       // dynamic DOM ready
    });
}
