In jQuery we can get position of an object with this:
$(this).position().left;
How can we get the current element position with AngularJS?
You can use prop() from angular jqlite. to select an element you can use querySelector() that returns first matching element or querySelectorAll() that return all matching element
angular.element(document.querySelector('yourelement')).prop('offsetLeft');
or if your this is valid dom element
angular.element(this).prop('offsetLeft');
Example for div
you can reference the DOM object with $event in html and pass it to the function on controller
<div ng-click=myfunction($event)></div>
in controller
$scope.myfunction = function($event){
console.log(angular.element($event.target).prop('offsetLeft'));
}
Demo
app = angular.module('test',[]);
app.controller('testctrl',function($scope){
$scope.myfunction = function($event){
console.log($event);
off =angular.element($event.target).prop('offsetLeft');
angular.element($event.target).text(off)
}
});.divvy{position:absolute; left:60px;
width:100px; background:red;
}
<script src=https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js></script>
<div ng-controller=testctrl ng-app=test>
<div class=divvy ng-click=myfunction($event) >Click to see position</div>
</div>
