Third party modules like this one of the things that make AngularJS awesome.

I put together http://ngmodules.org/ as a searchable repository of Angular Modules. Hopefully people will find some useful libraries through it.

You, sir, are awesome. Thank you.

So.. No love for AngularUI? http://angular-ui.github.com/

I'm using AngularUI for the nice google maps directives, but this one appears to have some nice directives (e.g. date/time pickers) that don't require me to pull in jQuery-UI...which I welcome with great zeal.

I don't think it has to be angular-this vs angular-that.

Having a vibrant ecosystem is what matters.

Well, as part of angular-ui we are building native AngularJS directives for Twitter's bootstrap: http://angular-ui.github.com/bootstrap/

Angular-strap is great but it has dependency on jQuery, bootstrap's JavaScript etc. Our goal is to come up with native, lightweight directives with minimal dependencies.

We will be moving slower but hopefully it will be useful for people that don't need / want jQuery.

Now this is just great!

So with Angular's "no direct DOM manipulation outside of Angualar" philosophy in mind, what is the best way to integrate Angular into an existing project with a bunch of UI widgets in place (say jQuery UI)? Projects like this seem to imply that you really need to rewrite the UI it you want a clean design.

Basically you create a wrapper around the plugin, and then inject that into your controllers.

Through directives. This is the cleanest way of doing it. Like Angular UI: http://angular-ui.github.com/

Is there some AngularJS jargon I'm missing out on, or does the linked page actually mistakenly refer to attributes as tags?

indeed, tags were attributes. Thanks! https://github.com/mgcrea/angular-strap/commit/09985e6166704...

No problem! Looks cool. If I ever get into any AngularJS project, I'll keep this in mind.

I love AngularJS.

It has completely changed how I code websites.

I don't know about other JS frameworks, but I've seen many people say they love angularJS, and I believe that's true, because that's exactly how I feel about angularjs ;)

I'm from a Windows dev background and all other exiting code editors/IDE I tried doesn't satisfy me so I'm building a new one.

And a handy tool is only a half for me to happily switch to web front end dev, and another half is a good framework, and I think angularjs can be that framework.

Have you checked out Sublime Text 2? Building an IDE is a tremendous amount of work, good luck!

Yes, ST 2 is great! And I've seen several ideas I got (inspired when using other IDE) are implemented in it. However, while it's not designed specified for html/css/js.

Try webstorm , but dont expect the C#/Winforms level of integration. no GUI builder , no smart intellisence , etc ... it is because of the nature of javascript.

Yes, it's pretty great, although it's not fast enough in my experience, WebStorm will be my choice if I don't make my own. But the project (called LIVEditor) I'm working on is different - imagine a smart code editor is seamlessly integrated into Chrome browser (with the html inspector enabled) :)

I use visual studio :)

This looks quite handy, I'll definitely use it, so thanks olouv!

Does anyone know if a similar project exists to help make Bootstrap forms using angular?

Great contribution. It's really convenience :D

Anyone working on a Zurb Foundation one?

I love Angular ;)
