Angular can't recurse. Not without hacks, at least. So using data structures in the form of a tree is impossible.
I've already complained about/explored the issue in my GitHub issue <https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/8536>, so I'm going to ask about technical help and things here. First off, the function at line 916 of /src/ng/compile.js (compileNodes) is clearly the offender here. When compiling directives, this function will read a string and compile the nodes inside it recursively. However, when inside a compiling a directive that includes/transcludes itself, it will compile that directive over and over again instead of actually yielding a tree. Second, what is the best approach for solving this issue? My stance is that we could defer compilation for recursive nodes until they need to be rendered to the DOM. --Rob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AngularJS" group.
