ui-jq jQuery Passthrough doesn't support ng-model (for sliders etc)

[jamie-pate]

There's no way to use jqueryui's widgets that should/could be bound to ng-model (slider, progressbar, autocomplete?, spinner) ng-model should be set up to update the value of the plugin for these types.

i'll just leave this here: (this additional directive works for me)

function uiJq($timeout, $log) {
    return {
        require: '?ngModel',
        link: function(scope, elm, attrs, ngModel) {
            var block = false;
            if (ngModel) {
                ngModel.$render = function() {
                    block = true;
                    try {
                        plugin('value', ngModel.$viewValue);
                    } finally {
                        block = false;
                    }
                };
            }
            //specific events for slider, could add more.
            elm.on('slidechange slide', function(evt, ui) {
                if (!block) {
                    scope.$apply(function() {
                        ngModel.$setViewValue(plugin('value'));
                    });
                }
            });

            function plugin() {
                if (elm.is(':ui-' + attrs.uiJq)) {
                    return elm[attrs.uiJq].apply(elm, arguments);
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
