Non-jQuery dependent Waypoint-like method to track analytics within div scrolling

[stvhanna]

It would be nice to not have to use jQuery and the jQuery.Waypoint plugin to track analytics of elements passing through the viewport as they are scrolled by within a scrollable div container/parent (not Window/Document).

I've found https://github.com/thenikso/angular-inview, which doesn't require jQuery, but I'm not sure how to integrate it. Anyone has some suggestions on a way to do this? I'd greatly appreciate it. :)

+1. Very supportive of the idea of dropping jQuery.

I'm all for dropping jQuery as well, but unfortunately https://github.com/thenikso/angular-inview requires you to place directives in-vew all over your layout a la

<my-directive in-view="{expression using $inview}"></my-directive>

$inview evaluates to true or false depending on if it is in view. Pretty straightforward, but seems a bit verbose.

It seems to me that some people will still want to use the jQuery plugin - if that's the case, how do we manage the bower dependencies as far as jQuery vs a new provider that is raw Angular?

You need to split angulartics into several components:

• angulartics-core
• angulartics-scroll-inview
• angulartics-scroll-jquery
• ...

Most angular components are moving towards no query dependency, e.g. angular-strap

This will be fixed in 1.X

@timelf123 Awesome, I will be definitely be awaiting that release. Do you have a general idea of when that would be making an appearance? Looking at the 1.x branch seems like it hasn't had much progress lately.

We just started splitting plugins off the core. This includes jQuery and waypoints. See #377 and https://github.com/angulartics/angulartics-google-analytics

Waypoints works with adapters now, and has added support for usage with Zepto or without any DOM framework.

[luisfarzati]

Great, so we'll move the scroll tracking off the core and remove jQuery in the process.
