Thanx for the comments. I really do understand all this concepts, I'm maybe not very into patterns how to use specific dirrectives (and sorry but I'm still seeing too many examples showing to my mind wrong patterns in this regard), but I do understand (conceptually) the concepts behind Angular system (and as I mentioned in some of the posts a lot of them match the philosophy of our current code base, which was the main reason for me to explore Angular).
What my problem is, is the fact that (probably) all provided directives are documented and show cased as attribute dirrectives (some have even quirks specific to attribute represenation, showcased on ng-repeat-start and ng-repeat-end, as element directive wouldn't need this at all). Though I'm failing to convince you, to me element style syntax (although being more verbous) is superior to attribute style syntax, be it for templating purposes or be it for any other purpose directive is used for. Currently I have a situation where I have a choice to translate all my code into Angular suggested syntax (attributes) or implement few directives that just reimplement our templating. The only semi good thing about first approach is "it matches Angular way", other then that it only has downsides for our code base (to my opinion). So I think I'll go with implementing those directives instead of trying to convince you to iplement them for me :P. There still few conceptual differences in rendering (directive processing) between the two technologies that I will have to overcome but I think it's worth a try as it is much less effort. So I think there will be more "very very very interesting" posts on the way ;) Off topic: as you touched directives in general in your posts (my personal opinion) - the problem for people to "get" directives correctly right away is in the fact that they solve too many problem spaces, it feels too low level for most high level tasks I get from business - on day to day basis I'm mostly writing components and directives doesn't feel like something I would write on daily basis for that purpose, and dumping it all in the view logic is not what I'm trying to achieve. In any case thanx for your effort to help, more coming soon ;) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AngularJS" group.
