AngularJS introduces some extended new attributes in HTML called Directives.
AngularJS enhance your application by providing extra functionality by built-in directives.
AngularJS supports us to define our own Custom directives.
The new custom directives will be created by .directive function.
We can invoke directives by using :
Invoke as Element Name.
Invoke as Attribute Name.
Invoke as Class Name.
Invoke as Comment.
We should define the directive name in camelCase (directiveName) and case sensitive, we should invoke the directive in dash-delimited (directive-name) format.
Matching Directives in AngularJS:
Before create an AngularJS directive we should know when to use the directive and how to use the directive and Angular compiler.
HTML Element matches the AngularJS directives by defining the directives in the part of the HTML element.
The <input> tag matches the ng-model directive by
<input ng-model=”name”>
<input data-ng-model=”name”>
The <my-own-directive> element matches the my-own-directive directive:
<my-own-directive ></ my-own-directive>
Matching Directives in AngularJS:
The AngularJS matches which element or attributes matched to which directive.
AngularJS has case-sensitive and camelCase name for their directives.
The normalization process is as follows:
Remove the front part of the element or attributes if x- or data- presents.
Convert the delimited (-, :, _) name to camelCase directive (Example: directive-name as directiveName).
