Getting the value inside a textbox ng-model using javascript .value

I'm currently confuse in trying to obtain the value inside a text box using jquery .value

<input disabled="true" ng-model="account.referral_code_string"> 

I tried using document.getElementById('input-refcode').value to try to obtain the value but it comes out as empty on my console.

But if I tried binding it onto a on-click event, it manages to obtain the value stored inside the ng-model

$('.trigger').on('click', function(){ console.log(document.getElementbyId('input-refcode')) }); 

As you can see there is a value inside the text box itself. But when you tried inspecting it, this is what came out.

<input disabled="true" ng-model="account.referral_code_string"> 

If you look at there is no value inside the input textbox. I'm not sure if it has something to do with angular.js

You can get the scope object using element

var scope = angular.element(document.getElementById('input-refcode')).scope(); var desiredValue = scope.account.referral_code_string; 

This might help you.

inject $timeout service in controller

$timeout(function(){ console.log(document.getElementById('input-refcode')); },200); 

Note: Use capital B in getElementById not getElementbyId.

var app = angular.module('todoApp', []); app.controller('TodoListController', function($scope){ $scope.$watch('referral_code_string'), function(){ console.log($scope.referral_code_string)}; console.log(document.getElementById('input-refcode').value); });

<script src=""></script> <script src=""></script> <div ng-app="todoApp" ng-controller="TodoListController as todoList"> <input disabled="true" ng-model="referral_code_string" ng-init="referral_code_string = 'abc'" value="abc"> </div>
