Topic: Angular Directives that Scale
As more and more jQuery developers begin to adopt AngularJS as their full stack framework of choice, they are staring down the possibility of creating a lot of directives. And what if their favorite UI library doesn't have directives for Angular? Should they create their own? Does every UI widget really need it's own directive? The open source project Angular Kendo UI faced this same challenge. With nearly 40 widgets and charts in various configurations, building a directive for every widget looked like a daunting task. How do we create directives that scale as our UI libraries get larger? Does it always have to be a one to one relationship? In this talk, we'll look at some alternatives for building directives for AngularJS that will scale with your UI needs.
