correct way to get HTML element Angular.js

Question

Currently in my js code I'm using the following snippet to select an html element and do stuff. Is there a better way in Angular.js to do this?

document.getElementById("someElement");

Answer 1

angular.element('#someElement') //to select by id
angular.element('.someElement') //to select by class

Answer 2

Angular has angular.element which might be useful for this. https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/function/angular.element

Answer 3

AngularJS has a trimmed down version of jQuery ( jQLight ). That makes selection easier. Is it what it's best used for; selecting elements.

$('#someElement')
