AngularJS - Trigger when radio button is selected

There are at least 2 different methods of invoking functions on radio button selection:

1) Using ng-change directive:

<input type="radio" ng-model="value" value="foo" ng-change='newValue(value)'>

and then, in a controller:

$scope.newValue = function(value) {
     console.log(value);
}

Here is the jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/ZPcSe/5/

2) Watching the model for changes. This doesn't require anything special on the input level:

<input type="radio" ng-model="value" value="foo">

but in a controller one would have:

$scope.$watch('value', function(value) {
       console.log(value);
 });

And the jsFiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/vDTRp/2/

Knowing more about your the use case would help to propose an adequate solution.

Should use ngChange instead of ngClick if trigger source is not from click.

Is the below what you want ? what exactly doesn't work in your case ?

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);

function MyCtrl($scope) {
    $scope.value = "none" ;
    $scope.isChecked = false;
    $scope.checkStuff = function () {
        $scope.isChecked = !$scope.isChecked;
    }
}


<div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
    <input type="radio" ng-model="value" value="one" ng-change="checkStuff()" />
    <span> {{value}} isCheck:{{isChecked}} </span>
</div>   

Another approach is using Object.defineProperty to set valueas a getter setter property in the controller scope, then each change on the value property will trigger a function specified in the setter:

The HTML file:

<input type="radio" ng-model="value" value="one"/>
<input type="radio" ng-model="value" value="two"/>
<input type="radio" ng-model="value" value="three"/>

The javascript file:

var _value = null;
Object.defineProperty($scope, 'value', {
  get: function () {
    return _value;
  },         
  set: function (value) {
    _value = value;
    someFunction();
  }
});
