HTML to (Text) String (not to view) in Angular

Question

There are a lot of ways to present a html in angular.

fi use $sce.trustAsHtml(myHtmlVariable)

However, what i want to create is a such a thing:

myStringVariable = someFunction(myHtmlVariable)

Then i will be able to do some operations on my string, without html elements and attributes but just with texts. Is there such a function?

`compile: function compile(tElement, tAttrs, transclude) {` here tElement is what you're trying to with myHtmlVariable — Bhojendra Rauniyar, Mar 29 '16 at 11:59
Angular doesn't automatically trust HTML. You have to specifically make it trust HTML. The value in the DOM without trusting it will be a string form. Within the actual JS code, it will always be a string form. — A.Sharma, Mar 29 '16 at 19:47

As far as i understood, there is no directly method in angular to transform html to text.

Just using DOMParser (which is working in IE10+), the following function (from another so thread) does what i needed:

function extractContent(html) {
    return (new DOMParser).parseFromString(html, "text/html") . 
        documentElement . textContent;
}
