I get a date value in my controller and I want to have the timestamp value in a $scope variable.

I do $scope.timestamp = new Date(workspace.date).getTime();

But I get error messages in console:

angular.js:63 Uncaught Error: [$rootScope:infdig] 10 $digest() iterations reached. Aborting!(…)

How can I avoid digest loop here?

where did you set above code? inside any iteration? – Akash KC Dec 12 '16 at 19:41
No, it's just a line of code which should be called only one time. – EscapeNetscape Dec 12 '16 at 19:42
It's highly unlikely that the line of code you mention is causing that error message. This is usually a sign of using an old version of Angular (where you had to concern yourself with the digest cycle). Most of that is automatic now. – Pop-A-Stash Dec 12 '16 at 20:19
Thanks Joel, its 1.4. It only happens, when this line of code is there. – EscapeNetscape Dec 12 '16 at 20:20
You may have this line directly in controller, you can not have it in $watch, any function you call from html, etc. – Petr Averyanov Dec 12 '16 at 22:44
yes, it's only in main controller ... without function, without watcher. – EscapeNetscape Dec 13 '16 at 08:13
