How to setTimeout before the AngularJS ng-click trigger

Question

I need a way to set a timeout before the ng-click is triggered, something like:

window.setTimeout("ng-click='myCtrl.myFunction()', 1000")

I don't think it is possibile but I really need to have this kind of effect. I have a very particular animated button, when it is clicked it has to call a function in my controller, but that function has to be invoked only when the buttons animation is finished. (I can't use setTimeout() or something like that inside the function because it keeps the button pressed, and my function has to be executed after the button "get up").

@RajaprabhuAravindasamy nope, already tried, no error but not working. — Giulio

@AlonEitan I don't think this is possible, my view don't know what it is $timeout, right? — Giulio

@Giulio No it doesn't - You need to put the code inside the $timeout callback function in your controller — Alon Eitan

};
