ng-jq only works on html tag

[TheBelgarion]

I tried the new tag 'ng-jq' to disable trying to use my very old jQuery lib

(not working) (working)

In my case I tried to improve a small module in a very old Joomla page so changing the layout template is not really a nice way to do it - would be better if I could use ng-jq on the app tag too)

AT least the description stated it not madatory to do it in the tag

tried with: 1.4.0-rc.1

I'm guessing this is your issue. Compare this jsbin (not working) to this jsbin (working). The difference is where angular is being loaded. I'm guessing that you're placing the angular script on the page BEFORE the element with the ng-jq tag. I'm guessing that the issue is that at the time angular loads, it will look in the DOM and try to find ng-jq. Because that part of the DOM hasn't been loaded yet, angular doesn't find it.

So your solution is to make sure that the element with ng-jq appears BEFORE the script tag that loads angular.

Perhaps I'll make a PR to update the docs to point out this issue. Good luck!

That's right. Unfortunately this info needs to be known before the document is ready, so it needs to be an early element

Ah, and another alternative would be to simply place the jQuery script AFTER the angular script. You wouldn't need the ng-jq script on the page at all for this solution.

Ha, yes that makes sense, was somehow thinking it inits after domready, but guess it need to run earlier for all the gimmicks ..

@kentcdodds I think there was some talk why loading jQuery after angularJS doesnt work in all cases
e.g. some code simple uses

if (!jQuery) {...} else {jQlite}

issue relates to #11647 ( just found that now)

thx!
