How to Click a button from Controller side ?

Question

Hello,

 

I want to click a button from controller.

 

e.g

my html has a button:- 

 

<button class="item" ng-click="selectTabWithIndex(1)">Select tab 2!</button> 

 

like this.

 

I want to hit button from controller.

in Jquery we can do this.   $( "#target" ).click();

 

but how would be done by AngularJs ?.
