ng:hover directive is a must

[sgtpep]

Hopefully it could be easily implemented in few lines of code (CoffeeScript):

angular.directive 'ng:hover', (expression, compiledElement) ->
(linkElement) ->
linkElement.hover (@event) => @$eval(expression)

After that I can use it like this: ng:hover="someAction(event)". It's important to have jQuery event Object in scope to be more crossbrowser.

It could be very nice to see ng:hover in AngularJS core!

Exposing the event object directly doesn't make sense, it just bleeds the DOM into your controllers (ex. event.target) and mocking event objects is difficult in tests.

It might make sense to eventually have a magic $event that exposes only data (non node) properties like pageX/pageY, but that should probably happen separate to ng:hover. ex. ng:click="action($event.pageX, $event.pageY)"

[sgtpep]

I forgot about the testing aspect and agree with your suggestion about separating event object from controller.

ng-hover please.
also need pagination for the ng-repeat, also some more filters to it...
also file upload libs are killing me. they are unreliable, can you provide some directive for it.
and please some additional functions to select & manipulate the DOM.
give us a choice, i Love data binding & directives but sometimes i want to do it the bad way.
so instead of coping functions from jquery to use them in my projects, how a bout providing us with a module with some functions for DOM manipulations.
