Using $ apply () with a component

Question

I am trying to use $apply()with angular 1.5 component and I get an error that is self.$applynot a function.

viewTest.controller('viewTest', function ($location) {
    var self = this;
    self.$onInit = function (location) {
    self.$apply()
    }
});

Answer 1

use $scopeinstead self. Since $applyit is an angular js $ scope function, so you cannot call it throughthis

viewTest.controller('viewTest', function ($scope,$location) {
    var self = this;
    self.$onInit = function (location) {
    $scope.$apply()
    }
});
