You may know that Angular ships with a cutdown version of jQuery called jQLite. It's still possible to use the full-fat jQuery; to quote the docs:

This technique actually applies to pretty much any web stack where you have to supply templates; it just so happens that I'm using Angular 1.x in this case. Also I have an extra technique which is useful to handle the ng-include scenario.

So you're creating a link with the Angular UI Router. You're passing more than a few parameters and it's getting kinda big. Something like this:

The Angular UI Bootstrap Datepicker is fan-dabby-dozy. But it has a ... pecularity. You can use the picker like this:

I thought as I start the NgValidationFor project I'd journal my progress. I'm writing this with someone particular in mind: me.

It started with nuns. Don't all good stories start that way? One of my (many) aunts is a Poor Clare nun. At some point in the distant past I was cajoled into putting together a simple website for her convent.

It just so happens that the AngularJS app in question is the one that belongs to my mother's sister's convent.
