how to 'watch' values in directive link function

From Christian GROBMEIER

from Processing json from the attribute:

directives.directive('tabLoad', function() {      return {              link: function (scope, element, attrs) {                  attrs.$observe('tabLoad', function(val) {                      var data = angular.fromJson(val);                      console.log(data);                      console.log(data.test);                      // do something                  });              }          }  });

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.

Stupid Angular Tricks

I expect there are probably a lot of widgets that are not clean enough to warrant the official Angular jsFiddle page, or
are too complex to be instructional, or
are to weird to be useful, and I thought they deserved a place.
 
In the spirit of learning, playing, and  David Letterman, let the Stupid Angular Tricks commence:

• Blink tag (jsFiddle)
• Text Obfuscator (jsFiddle)
• Color Picker with sliders (jsFiddle Chrome only)
