Filters & some Useful Links

I noticed a neat trick in the comments for $filter, pointing out a more intuitive way to use a filter in your code than the example syntax where you import '$filter' into your directive, and then use:

newArray=$filter('orderBy')(myArray,'sortKey');

If you want to use a filter, you don't need to import the $filter service, just import the filter you want by appending 'filter' to the end of the filter you want. So if you have a filter called, "myAwesome", you would import "myAwesomeFilter"

Importing the date filter into your directive would look like this:

  .directive('myCurrentTime', function($timeout, dateFilter) {

and to use it inside of your directive you can now simply access the filter by name:

        element.text(dateFilter(new Date(), format))

See this fiddle for an example.
