What's the best way to write directives?

Question

I've been struggling with the way to implement a good structure for directives in TypeScript. I've found couple of solutions online, however to be honest, I have no idea which one to use - they all do their job.

What is a good structure for a directive to stick to?

nb I'm using AngularJS 1.

Answer 1

In my opininion, thinking on Typescript Way, you need to import the AngularJS definition , this gives you references on the framework.

1. Create a Module
2. Export a Function that returns a Angular Directive Definition Object

3. In ddo use the APIs as you wish

   [...] export function tsDirective(): ng.IDirective [...]
