Angular js with Jquery

Question

I have Angular code:

  $scope.updateCategory = function(cat,test) {
        res = angular.element(document.querySelector(
                $(this)
                  .parent()
                  .parent()
                  .find('.custom_cat_name')
                  .val()));
        alert(res);

I want to get input value of $(this) of an element .

Can I do this?

Currently it is showing [object Object], which doesn't make sense.

Why would you want to do that?

I assume the custom_cat_name is a class placed on an input element(that should be binded somewhere on your model).

Simply access the element from the model something like:

$scope.model.customCat

Instead of using JQuery.

Anyway, youre doing something bad by using JQuery from your controller.
