I was once using angular, and I wanted to use a common thing I had done in the past (autocomplete for a form I think it was). I already had a simple and effective way of doing it in jquery, but getting angular and jquery to work together is kind of a pain.

at the time, it wasn't implemented in angular very well, and there were some specific things I wanted to do that was incompatible to the way angular did it.

when I posted to the community how to get it working, their response was 'using jquery is not the angular way'. my way is getting things done with code I have used time and time again.

it took a bit of wrestling, but I was able to get it done with jquery and angular.
