How to trigger ng-click event

Question

<a role="button" id="trigger" class="qui-button" ng-click="ctrl.openDialog(); ctrl.triggerClick();">Confirm Dialog</a>

I want to trigger this by pressing another button, i was using jquery to trigger the click event by:

function myFunction() { document.getElementById("trigger").click() }

I trigger the click event, but ng-click event did not work.

How could i fix this problem?

Why don't you just have the other button with an ng-click equal to the same function?

This is the right solution. It's pointless and confusing to force dom manipulation into your code in order to trigger a click on an element to run some behavior. It will confuse future devs, this is what ng-click is for
