Get rid of $

[pjako]

As a dartuser, the use of $ in variable does not look really nice, is there a good reason to keep it?

So the jQuery users will be more comfortable? ;-)

You don't have jquery in dart anyway so why keep that strange symbol? If you like jquery that much, you probably don't use dart. Otherwise you adapted to the style of dart, and there no one who use the $ this way. $ is used for string interpolation in dart.

I understand and agree, my response was made tongue-in-cheek.

+1 for removal.

[adam-singer]

+1 for not liking the use of $. At the same time I have not created anything with angular.dart.

[MikeMitterer]

Please keep the Dart-Style - remove this ugly $. This sign would hold me back from using Angular in Dart.

+1 We don't like it either and welcome pull requests to clean it up.

$-prefixed parameters are useful in AngularJS where dependency injection is parameter name based. However, in Angular.dart, the DI is type based and you are free to name your injected parameters anything you want.

e.g. class MyController { MyController(Scope myScopeFromtheDISystem); }

(in AngularJS you need to say "function MyController($scope)"

We are planning on using Dart annotations in the directive declarations. $-prefixed properties will become class annotations instead. For the time being, treat '$' as a 'TODO: change this property to an annotation'
