I've got a few custom directives that use jQuery for animation effects (angular's built-in ngShow/ngHide and the like are functional, but not pretty). I think I remember reading in the documentation somewhere that angular has its own DOM selector (something like angular.export()
or angular.select()
) that I should use instead of $(SELECTOR)
; however I can't find it now.
I'm doing something like this:
//view
<div scroll-to="element"> //`element` is set via ng-click
…
</div>
//directive
link: function(scope, elm, attrs)
{
scope.$watch(attrs.scrollTo, function scrollToAction(newValue,oldValue)
{
if ( newValue !== oldValue )
{
elm.animate({
scrollTop:
$('#'+newValue).offset().top //replace jquery selector with angular's
- elm.offset().top
+ elm.scrollTop()
});
}
});
}
I'm not really manipulating $('#'+newValue)
, just retrieving info about it, so I don't think I'm committing a crime against Angular.
