can you re-initiate a ui-popover? - angular-ui-bootstrap

Question

Since I'm injecting a <span ui-popover></span> after the DOM is constructed I need to reinitiate the popovers otherwise it won't show.
Is there away to do that?
HTML
<div ng-repeat="i in comments">
<div id={{i._id}} class="task" commentId={{i._id}}> {{i.text}} </div>
</div>
I'm using the external rangy library that injects 's around highlighted texts. You can also inject elementAttirbutes to accommodate these span, This is shown in this part of the code:
JS
function initHighLighter() {
var cssApplier = null;
highlighter = rangy.createHighlighter(document);
cssApplier = rangy.createClassApplier('highlight-a',{elementAttributes: {'uib-popover':"test"}}/*, {elementAttributes: {'data-toggle':"popover", 'data-placement':"bottom", 'title':"A for Awesome", 'data-selector':"true", 'data-content':"And here's some amazing content. It's very engaging. Right?"}}*/);
highlighter.addClassApplier(cssApplier);
cssApplier = rangy.createClassApplier('highlight-b', {elementAttributes: {'uib-popover':"test"}}/*, {elementAttributes: {'data-toggle':"popover", 'data-placement':"bottom", 'title':"B for Best", 'data-selector':"true", 'data-content':"And here's some amazing content. It's very engaging. Right?"}}*/);
highlighter.addClassApplier(cssApplier);
}
I'm calling on to highlight parts of the texts, only after I upload them from the server (highlighter1 calls on init highlight written above)
JS
(function(angular) {
'use strict';
angular.module('myApp', ['ui.bootstrap'])
.controller('Controller', function($scope, $http, $timeout) {
$http.get('/comments')
.success(function(response) {
$scope.comments = response;
var allEl=[];
var i;
for (i=0; i<response.length; i++) {
allEl.push(response[i]._id);
}
$http.post('/ranges', {"commentIds":allEl})
.success(function(result){
result.forEach(function(item){
highlighter1(item.dataAction, item.rangyObject, true);
})
})
});
})
})(window.angular);
So in the end my DOM is being changed AFTER I initiated everything and then the attributes associated with the span don't do anything.

Answer 1

your markup should be (notice the prefix)
<span uib-tooltip="hello world"></span>
or if you want dynamic content
$scope.welcomeMessage = "hello world"; // inside controller
..
<span uib-tooltip="{{welcomeMessage}}"></span>
if you want to reinitialize the tooltip, you can trigger a $destroy event and have it rebuilt, one way if by using ng-if and setting it to true when you need it.
<span ng-if="doneUpdating" uib-tooltip="hello world"></span>
