Preface

Directives make up an important part of AngularJS development to manipulate the Document Object Model (DOM), route events to event handler functions, and much more. Through the use of custom directives, we can build applications with a rich user interface. Although the built-in directives such as ng-repeat, ng-show, and ng-hide cover many different scenarios, you will often need to create specific directives for your application. This book will give you an overview of how to create and customize AngularJS directives, with best practices in mind.
