AngularJS - Directives

Use built-in directives to connect HTML elements to application behavior.

How it works

Directives extend HTML behavior. Common built-ins include ng-app, ng-controller, ng-bind, ng-model, ng-repeat, and conditional rendering directives. Use directives declaratively and avoid mixing unrelated behavior into a single element.

Practice checklist

• Use examples that match the AngularJS version in the existing application.
• Keep user input, asynchronous states, and failures visible and understandable.
• Test keyboard access and validate important rules on the server.
• Review dependency support and migration needs before production changes.
