Support for ng-change

[lucasribsantos]

I need support for the ng-change attribute. Right now I'm using $scope.$watch to process changes in the ng-model value, but it doesn't seem like the right thing to do. Am I doing something wrong?

I don't think you're doing anything wrong.

I'm not an Angular wizard and I haven't used it in a while, but my understanding of $scope.$watch is that it's used to be triggered when something is updated, and in this case it's exactly what you want.

Thanks for the reply. My point is that it actually seems more appropriate to have an ng-change method rather than having to manually register a watcher, specially since the directive - in my eyes - should work just like a regular angular input.

The watcher will do for now, it's just a matter of convenience 😄

Oh I agree, definitely.

I do plan on making some updates this summer since I'm finally done school. I'll be sure to add this to my list.

Cheers!
