$scope.things: {{ things }}
Try it:
<input type="text" esc-key="doStuff();things = 'escape pressed'" ng-model="things" />
Check out the source for this page for more details. All we used was this for the main.js file:
'use strict';
var app = angular.module('app', [ 'esc-key' ]);
app.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope) {
$scope.doStuff = function () {
alert('subject');
};
});
