Is there a way to evaluate an AngularJS expression in the template just once (ie. without data-binding)? -

it's best illustrate question example.

here template snippet:

<div class="title">{{action}} location</div> 

double curly markup tells angularjs evaluate action against current scope and create data-binding action.

is there way tell angularjs evaluate action once , done (ie. don't need data-binding/watch)?

i cannot find direct support of interporate once feature in angular. can work around using separate variable gets copied action once , never changes afterwards.

in controller:

$scope.action0 = action; 

in template:

<div class="title">{{action0}} location</div> 

edit : way define directive interpolates once , leave alone.

js:

app.directive('staticbind', function(){   return function(scope, elem, attrs) {     elem.text( scope[ attrs.staticbind ]);   }; }); 

template:

<span static-bind="variable"></span>
