Directives are a DSL for creating new behavior using HTML. Once you learn the language, the symbols make sense and directives are easy to read. I think you are confusing "intuitive" with "familiar". Since you are not familiar with directives, you do not find them intuitive.
- lucisferre 13y agoI think there is still a fair point. I'm quite familiar with AngularJS and writing quite advanced directives and I would agree some of the APIs are not as user-friendly as they should ideally be. Couple that with limited documentation and guidance and you have quite a steep learning experience. Bottom line, things could be better.
- mortalapeman 13y agoI partially agree, directives are not easy to learn, and there is not enough good documentation or literature on how to write them well. However, I have found the api to be very expressive , concise, and flexible once mastered. I can't say the same for most real languages I work with everyday.
