'use strict'; /** * @ngdoc directive * @name ng.directive:ngCloak * * @description * The `ngCloak` directive is used to prevent the Angular html template from being briefly * displayed by the browser in its raw (uncompiled) form while your application is loading. Use this * directive to avoid the undesirable flicker effect caused by the html template display. * * The directive can be applied to the `
` element, but typically a fine-grained application is * preferred in order to benefit from progressive rendering of the browser view. * * `ngCloak` works in cooperation with a css rule that is embedded within `angular.js` and * `angular.min.js` files. Following is the css rule: * *
 * [ng\:cloak], [ng-cloak], [data-ng-cloak], [x-ng-cloak], .ng-cloak, .x-ng-cloak {
 *   display: none !important;
 * }
 * 
 *
 * When this css rule is loaded by the browser, all html elements (including their children) that
 * are tagged with the `ng-cloak` directive are hidden. When Angular comes across this directive
 * during the compilation of the template it deletes the `ngCloak` element attribute, which
 * makes the compiled element visible.
 *
 * For the best result, `angular.js` script must be loaded in the head section of the html file;
 * alternatively, the css rule (above) must be included in the external stylesheet of the
 * application.
 *
 * Legacy browsers, like IE7, do not provide attribute selector support (added in CSS 2.1) so they
 * cannot match the `[ng\:cloak]` selector. To work around this limitation, you must add the css
 * class `ngCloak` in addition to `ngCloak` directive as shown in the example below.
