Course Description

AngularJS is one of the most popular front-end JavaScript libraries available right now. If you’ve given it a try, you’ve seen that it has a rather unique take on web applications. Instead of creating text-based templates that you render and append to the DOM, you build a more-or-less regular HTML page, annotating it with Angular directives in order to create a dynamic web application. In this course, you’ll learn how to create custom directives.

What You’ll Learn

• How to build a directive: understanding the markup, setting up the template, and controlling behaviour with the ‘restrict’ property.
• Working with parent scope, child scope, and isolate scope.
• Using transclusion to create directives that wrap themselves around other code.
• Building a complex chart directive step by step.

This courses uses Angular 1.3.
