Writing Directives

Directives explained from top to bottom by their creator! From the Sep 2012 Mountain View meetup, Misko Hevery walks through how directives work in AngularJS.

Misko cuts into some of the less-travelled parts of directives and makes it byte-sized so that more people can digest it. Amazing video and excellent tutorial. Thanks!

This video is still the best discussion anywhere online of how angular actually works under the hood. Have watched this video 5 times and learn something new each time. Densely packed with advanced topics in an accessible format.

Thank you for an excellent description of directives. There are many basic tutorials, which are great, but it is this sort of depth that is needed to really get going. Of course we can read the documentation, but an oral explanation usually helps you get started. More of this please! :)

[wazels]

This was worth watching after reading the docs and writing a couple of custom directives. Solidified some concepts and provided a few 'ah-ha!' moments!

Can you upload videos as HD quality? Our eyes hurt :) Thank You

transclusion topic starts at: 45:00 (this is probably the most accurate explication of what transcluded scopes are that I've ever found !!!)

[FunFusionKids]

Thanks, this cleared lots of doubts about directive

[presstubecom]

Yup, I'd love to see the source for this on github too if possible?

The next video by Vojta paired with its source on github is a fantastic combo. Very effective for learning.

The tool is in the chrome webstore (using chrome browser) called AngularJS Batarang. When you search for in the chrome webstore click on the extensions tab/link to see it show up in the results.

As much as I am trying to make sense out of the AngularJS docs, stuff pretty much works. Like you mentioned the difference between CompileFunction and LinkingFunction breaking when it comes to ng-repeat.
Great tut. Could we have access to the source code used in the demo on github or on AngularJS site please?

[MrJuitman]

At around 10:55 ish he says he assumes that we're not angular beginners but I came to this channel expecting comprehensive tutorials and that comment just made me concerned about the complexity of the rest of the video implying that he'll be using a lot more references that only already Angular users will not need explanations for that I will need. Is there a video on this channel that IS for Angular beginners or is this as comprehensive as it gets?

[ajgiliana]

This is great, but why is the code so blurry? 

[maorfrankel]

knockout is by no means fixed. knockout has custom bindings which allow you to extend the DOM

[mvicen]

Dojo Toolkit has had what AngularJS calls directives since 2005.

[AhmadMM]

Such a brilliant Programming Language

I've noticed, that you are using DVORAK keyboard layout. Do you have any problems using WebStorm (based on IntelliJ) and DVORAK? I had problem with DVORAK-QWERTY, when I tried to use CMD button to switch between layouts.

Complete mindblow every second starting at 43:00

[SnehasishGhoshSg]

I wish the resolution was good, !!!! can't understand anything

[barryman]

I use Angular and Knockout, and I really like them both... but I don't consider KO a framework - it's basically a two way data binding library with a template engine so you can't really compare the two. As for the idea that the vocabulary of KO is fixed and "if the authors of KO didn't put it in there, you can't have it" I'd recommending checking out custom binding handlers.

He talks at just the right speed for me. Please continue to talk at the same rate of speed.
