<div class="example"><div class="angular-injector-page"><p>Typical usage
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
  // create an injector
  var $injector = angular.injector(['ng']);

  // use the injector to kick off your application
  // use the type inference to auto inject arguments, or use implicit injection
  $injector.invoke(function($rootScope, $compile, $document){
    $compile($document)($rootScope);
    $rootScope.$digest();
  });
</pre>
<p>Sometimes you want to get access to the injector of a currently running Angular app
from outside Angular. Perhaps, you want to inject and compile some markup after the
application has been bootstrapped. You can do this using extra <code>injector()</code> added
to JQuery/jqLite elements. See <a href="api/angular.element"><code>angular.element</code></a>.</p>
<p><em>This is fairly rare but could be the case if a third party library is injecting the
markup.</em></p>
<p>In the following example a new block of HTML containing a <code>ng-controller</code>
directive is added to the end of the document body by JQuery. We then compile and link
it into the current AngularJS scope.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint linenums">
var $div = $('&lt;div ng-controller="MyCtrl"&gt;{{content.label}}&lt;/div&gt;');
$(document.body).append($div);

angular.element(document).injector().invoke(function($compile) {
  var scope = angular.element($div).scope();
  $compile($div)(scope);
});
</pre>
</div></div>
