+ *   attribute name is assumed to be the same as the local name. Given `<my-component
+ *   my-attr="hello {{name}}">` and the isolate scope definition `scope: { localName:'@myAttr' }`,
+ *   the directive's scope property `localName` will reflect the interpolated value of `hello
+ *   {{name}}`. As the `name` attribute changes so will the `localName` property on the directive's
+ *   scope. The `name` is read from the parent scope (not the directive's scope).
+ *
+ * * `=` or `=attr` - set up a bidirectional binding between a local scope property and an expression
+ *   passed via the attribute `attr`. The expression is evaluated in the context of the parent scope.
+ *   If no `attr` name is specified then the attribute name is assumed to be the same as the local
+ *   name. Given `<my-component my-attr="parentModel">` and the isolate scope definition `scope: {
+ *   localModel: '=myAttr' }`, the property `localModel` on the directive's scope will reflect the
+ *   value of `parentModel` on the parent scope. Changes to `parentModel` will be reflected in
+ *   `localModel` and vice versa. Optional attributes should be marked as such with a question mark:
+ *   `=?` or `=?attr`. If the binding expression is non-assignable, or if the attribute isn't
+ *   optional and doesn't exist, an exception ({@link error/$compile/nonassign `$compile:nonassign`})
+ *   will be thrown upon discovering changes to the local value, since it will be impossible to sync
+ *   them back to the parent scope. By default, the {@link ng.$rootScope.Scope#$watch `$watch`}
+ *   method is used for tracking changes, and the equality check is based on object identity.
+ *   However, if an object literal or an array literal is passed as the binding expression, the
+ *   equality check is done by value (using the {@link angular.equals} function). It's also possible
+ *   to watch the evaluated value shallowly with {@link ng.$rootScope.Scope#$watchCollection
+ *   `$watchCollection`}: use `=*` or `=*attr` (`=*?` or `=*?attr` if the attribute is optional).
+ *
+  * * `<` or `<attr` - set up a one-way (one-directional) binding between a local scope property and an
+ *   expression passed via the attribute `attr`. The expression is evaluated in the context of the
+ *   parent scope. If no `attr` name is specified then the attribute name is assumed to be the same as the
+ *   local name. You can also make the binding optional by adding `?`: `<?` or `<?attr`.
+ *
+ *   For example, given `<my-component my-attr="parentModel">` and directive definition of
+ *   `scope: { localModel:'<myAttr' }`, then the isolated scope property `localModel` will reflect the
  *   value of `parentModel` on the parent scope. Any changes to `parentModel` will be reflected
- *   in `localModel` and any changes in `localModel` will reflect in `parentModel`. If the parent
- *   scope property doesn't exist, it will throw a NON_ASSIGNABLE_MODEL_EXPRESSION exception. You
- *   can avoid this behavior using `=?` or `=?attr` in order to flag the property as optional. If
- *   you want to shallow watch for changes (i.e. $watchCollection instead of $watch) you can use
- *   `=*` or `=*attr` (`=*?` or `=*?attr` if the property is optional).
- *
- * * `&` or `&attr` - provides a way to execute an expression in the context of the parent scope.
- *   If no `attr` name is specified then the attribute name is assumed to be the same as the
- *   local name. Given `<widget my-attr="count = count + value">` and widget definition of
- *   `scope: { localFn:'&myAttr' }`, then isolate scope property `localFn` will point to
- *   a function wrapper for the `count = count + value` expression. Often it's desirable to
- *   pass data from the isolated scope via an expression to the parent scope, this can be
- *   done by passing a map of local variable names and values into the expression wrapper fn.
- *   For example, if the expression is `increment(amount)` then we can specify the amount value
- *   by calling the `localFn` as `localFn({amount: 22})`.
+ *   in `localModel`, but changes in `localModel` will not reflect in `parentModel`. There are however
+ *   two caveats:
+ *     1. one-way binding does not copy the value from the parent to the isolate scope, it simply
+ *     sets the same value. That means if your bound value is an object, changes to its properties
+ *     in the isolated scope will be reflected in the parent scope (because both reference the same object).
+ *     2. one-way binding watches changes to the **identity** of the parent value. That means the
+ *     {@link ng.$rootScope.Scope#$watch `$watch`} on the parent value only fires if the reference
+ *     to the value has changed. In most cases, this should not be of concern, but can be important
+ *     to know if you one-way bind to an object, and then replace that object in the isolated scope.
+ *     If you now change a property of the object in your parent scope, the change will not be
+ *     propagated to the isolated scope, because the identity of the object on the parent scope
+ *     has not changed. Instead you must assign a new object.
+ *
+ *   One-way binding is useful if you do not plan to propagate changes to your isolated scope bindings
+ *   back to the parent. However, it does not make this completely impossible.
+ *
+ * * `&` or `&attr` - provides a way to execute an expression in the context of the parent scope. If
+ *   no `attr` name is specified then the attribute name is assumed to be the same as the local name.
+ *   Given `<my-component my-attr="count = count + value">` and the isolate scope definition `scope: {
+ *   localFn:'&myAttr' }`, the isolate scope property `localFn` will point to a function wrapper for
+ *   the `count = count + value` expression. Often it's desirable to pass data from the isolated scope
+ *   via an expression to the parent scope. This can be done by passing a map of local variable names
+ *   and values into the expression wrapper fn. For example, if the expression is `increment(amount)`
+ *   then we can specify the amount value by calling the `localFn` as `localFn({amount: 22})`.
+ *
+ * In general it's possible to apply more than one directive to one element, but there might be limitations
+ * depending on the type of scope required by the directives. The following points will help explain these limitations.
+ * For simplicity only two directives are taken into account, but it is also applicable for several directives:
+ *
+ * * **no scope** + **no scope** => Two directives which don't require their own scope will use their parent's scope
+ * * **child scope** + **no scope** =>  Both directives will share one single child scope
+ * * **child scope** + **child scope** =>  Both directives will share one single child scope
+ * * **isolated scope** + **no scope** =>  The isolated directive will use it's own created isolated scope. The other directive will use
+ * its parent's scope
+ * * **isolated scope** + **child scope** =>  **Won't work!** Only one scope can be related to one element. Therefore these directives cannot
+ * be applied to the same element.
+ * * **isolated scope** + **isolated scope**  =>  **Won't work!** Only one scope can be related to one element. Therefore these directives
+ * cannot be applied to the same element.
  *
  *
  * #### `bindToController`
- * When an isolate scope is used for a component (see above), and `controllerAs` is used, `bindToController: true` will
- * allow a component to have its properties bound to the controller, rather than to scope. When the controller
- * is instantiated, the initial values of the isolate scope bindings are already available.
+ * This property is used to bind scope properties directly to the controller. It can be either
+ * `true` or an object hash with the same format as the `scope` property. Additionally, a controller
+ * alias must be set, either by using `controllerAs: 'myAlias'` or by specifying the alias in the controller
+ * definition: `controller: 'myCtrl as myAlias'`.
+ *
+ * When an isolate scope is used for a directive (see above), `bindToController: true` will
+ * allow a component to have its properties bound to the controller, rather than to scope.
+ *
+ * After the controller is instantiated, the initial values of the isolate scope bindings will be bound to the controller
+ * properties. You can access these bindings once they have been initialized by providing a controller method called
+ * `$onInit`, which is called after all the controllers on an element have been constructed and had their bindings
+ * initialized.
+ *
+ * <div class="alert alert-warning">
+ * **Deprecation warning:** although bindings for non-ES6 class controllers are currently

+ * </div>
+ *
+ * It is also possible to set `bindToController` to an object hash with the same format as the `scope` property.

+   * @description
+   * Register a **component definition** with the compiler. This is a shorthand for registering a special
+   * type of directive, which represents a self-contained UI component in your application. Such components
+   * are always isolated (i.e. `scope: {}`) and are always restricted to elements (i.e. `restrict: 'E'`).
+   *
+   * Component definitions are very simple and do not require as much configuration as defining general
+   * directives. Component definitions usually consist only of a template and a controller backing it.
+   *
+   * In order to make the definition easier, components enforce best practices like use of `controllerAs`,
+   * `bindToController`. They always have **isolate scope** and are restricted to elements.
+   *
+   * Here are a few examples of how you would usually define components:
+   *
+   * ```js
+   *   var myMod = angular.module(...);
+   *   myMod.component('myComp', {
+   *     template: '<div>My name is {{$ctrl.name}}</div>',
+   *     controller: function() {
+   *       this.name = 'shahar';
+   *     }
+   *   });
+   *
+   *   myMod.component('myComp', {
+   *     template: '<div>My name is {{$ctrl.name}}</div>',
+   *     bindings: {name: '@'}
+   *   });
+   *
+   *   myMod.component('myComp', {
+   *     templateUrl: 'views/my-comp.html',
+   *     controller: 'MyCtrl',
+   *     controllerAs: 'ctrl',
+   *     bindings: {name: '@'}
+   *   });
+   *
+   * ```
+   * For more examples, and an in-depth guide, see the {@link guide/component component guide}.

-     *     success(function(data, status, headers, config) {

-     *     }).

+     *     }, function errorCallback(response) {
      *       // called asynchronously if an error occurs
      *       // or server returns response with an error status.
      *     });
      * ```
      *
-     * ```js
-     *   // Simple POST request example (passing data) :
-     *   $http.post('/someUrl', {msg:'hello word!'}).

-     *     });
-     * ```
+     * The response object has these properties:
      *
-     *
-     * Since the returned value of calling the $http function is a `promise`, you can also use
-     * the `then` method to register callbacks, and these callbacks will receive a single argument –
-     * an object representing the response. See the API signature and type info below for more
-     * details.
+     *   - **data** – `{string|Object}` – The response body transformed with the transform
+     *     functions.
+     *   - **status** – `{number}` – HTTP status code of the response.
+     *   - **headers** – `{function([headerName])}` – Header getter function.
+     *   - **config** – `{Object}` – The configuration object that was used to generate the request.
+     *   - **statusText** – `{string}` – HTTP status text of the response.
      *
      * A response status code between 200 and 299 is considered a success status and
      * will result in the success callback being called. Note that if the response is a redirect,
      * XMLHttpRequest will transparently follow it, meaning that the error callback will not be

+     * the relevant cache object. The next time the same request is made, the response is returned
+     * from the cache without sending a request to the server.
      *
-     * If there are multiple GET requests for the same URL that should be cached using the same

+ * Angular has some features that can break certain
+ * [CSP (Content Security Policy)](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Security/CSP) rules.
+ *
+ * If you intend to implement these rules then you must tell Angular not to use these features.
  *
  * This is necessary when developing things like Google Chrome Extensions or Universal Windows Apps.
  *
- * CSP forbids apps to use `eval` or `Function(string)` generated functions (among other things).
- * For Angular to be CSP compatible there are only two things that we need to do differently:
  *
- * - don't use `Function` constructor to generate optimized value getters
- * - don't inject custom stylesheet into the document
+ * The following rules affect Angular:
  *
- * AngularJS uses `Function(string)` generated functions as a speed optimization. Applying the `ngCsp`
- * directive will cause Angular to use CSP compatibility mode. When this mode is on AngularJS will
- * evaluate all expressions up to 30% slower than in non-CSP mode, but no security violations will
- * be raised.
+ * * `unsafe-eval`: this rule forbids apps to use `eval` or `Function(string)` generated functions
+ * (among other things). Angular makes use of this in the {@link $parse} service to provide a 30%
+ * increase in the speed of evaluating Angular expressions.
  *
- * CSP forbids JavaScript to inline stylesheet rules. In non CSP mode Angular automatically
- * includes some CSS rules (e.g. {@link ng.directive:ngCloak ngCloak}).
- * To make those directives work in CSP mode, include the `angular-csp.css` manually.
+ * * `unsafe-inline`: this rule forbids apps from inject custom styles into the document. Angular
+ * makes use of this to include some CSS rules (e.g. {@link ngCloak} and {@link ngHide}).
+ * To make these directives work when a CSP rule is blocking inline styles, you must link to the
+ * `angular-csp.css` in your HTML manually.
  *
- * Angular tries to autodetect if CSP is active and automatically turn on the CSP-safe mode. This
- * autodetection however triggers a CSP error to be logged in the console:
+ * If you do not provide `ngCsp` then Angular tries to autodetect if CSP is blocking unsafe-eval
+ * and automatically deactivates this feature in the {@link $parse} service. This autodetection,

  * *Note: This directive is only available in the `ng-csp` and `data-ng-csp` attribute form.*
  *
+ * You can specify which of the CSP related Angular features should be deactivated by providing
+ * a value for the `ng-csp` attribute. The options are as follows:
+ *
+ * * no-inline-style: this stops Angular from injecting CSS styles into the DOM
+ *
+ * * no-unsafe-eval: this stops Angular from optimizing $parse with unsafe eval of strings
+ *
+ * You can use these values in the following combinations:
+ *
+ *
+ * * No declaration means that Angular will assume that you can do inline styles, but it will do
+ * a runtime check for unsafe-eval. E.g. `<body>`. This is backwardly compatible with previous versions
+ * of Angular.
+ *
+ * * A simple `ng-csp` (or `data-ng-csp`) attribute will tell Angular to deactivate both inline
+ * styles and unsafe eval. E.g. `<body ng-csp>`. This is backwardly compatible with previous versions
+ * of Angular.
+ *
+ * * Specifying only `no-unsafe-eval` tells Angular that we must not use eval, but that we can inject
+ * inline styles. E.g. `<body ng-csp="no-unsafe-eval">`.
+ *
+ * * Specifying only `no-inline-style` tells Angular that we must not inject styles, but that we can
+ * run eval - no automatic check for unsafe eval will occur. E.g. `<body ng-csp="no-inline-style">`
+ *
+ * * Specifying both `no-unsafe-eval` and `no-inline-style` tells Angular that we must not inject
+ * styles nor use eval, which is the same as an empty: ng-csp.
+ * E.g.`<body ng-csp="no-inline-style;no-unsafe-eval">`
+ *
  * @example
  * This example shows how to apply the `ngCsp` directive to the `html` tag.

  * # Tracking and Duplicates
  *
- * When the contents of the collection change, `ngRepeat` makes the corresponding changes to the DOM:
+ * `ngRepeat` uses {@link $rootScope.Scope#$watchCollection $watchCollection} to detect changes in
+ * the collection. When a change happens, ngRepeat then makes the corresponding changes to the DOM:
  *
  * * When an item is added, a new instance of the template is added to the DOM.
  * * When an item is removed, its template instance is removed from the DOM.
  * * When items are reordered, their respective templates are reordered in the DOM.
  *
- * By default, `ngRepeat` does not allow duplicate items in arrays. This is because when
- * there are duplicates, it is not possible to maintain a one-to-one mapping between collection
- * items and DOM elements.
+ * To minimize creation of DOM elements, `ngRepeat` uses a function
+ * to "keep track" of all items in the collection and their corresponding DOM elements.
+ * For example, if an item is added to the collection, ngRepeat will know that all other items
+ * already have DOM elements, and will not re-render them.
+ *
+ * The default tracking function (which tracks items by their identity) does not allow
+ * duplicate items in arrays. This is because when there are duplicates, it is not possible
+ * to maintain a one-to-one mapping between collection items and DOM elements.
  *
  * If you do need to repeat duplicate items, you can substitute the default tracking behavior
  * with your own using the `track by` expression.

+ * You can specify that you want to insert a named transclusion slot, instead of the default slot, by providing the slot name
+ * as the value of the `ng-transclude` or `ng-transclude-slot` attribute.
+ *
+ * If the transcluded content is not empty (i.e. contains one or more DOM nodes, including whitespace text nodes), any existing
+ * content of this element will be removed before the transcluded content is inserted.
+ * If the transcluded content is empty, the existing content is left intact. This lets you provide fallback content in the case
+ * that no transcluded content is provided.
  *
  * @element ANY
  *
+ * @param {string} ngTransclude|ngTranscludeSlot the name of the slot to insert at this point. If this is not provided, is empty
+ *                                               or its value is the same as the name of the attribute then the default slot is used.

  * HTML `SELECT` element with angular data-binding.
  *
- * In many cases, `ngRepeat` can be used on `<option>` elements instead of {@link ng.directive:ngOptions
- * ngOptions} to achieve a similar result. However, `ngOptions` provides some benefits such as reducing
- * memory and increasing speed by not creating a new scope for each repeated instance, as well as providing
- * more flexibility in how the `<select>`'s model is assigned via the `select` **`as`** part of the
- * comprehension expression.
+ * The `select` directive is used together with {@link ngModel `ngModel`} to provide data-binding
+ * between the scope and the `<select>` control (including setting default values).
+ * It also handles dynamic `<option>` elements, which can be added using the {@link ngRepeat `ngRepeat}` or
+ * {@link ngOptions `ngOptions`} directives.
  *
- * When an item in the `<select>` menu is selected, the array element or object property
- * represented by the selected option will be bound to the model identified by the `ngModel`
- * directive.
+ * When an item in the `<select>` menu is selected, the value of the selected option will be bound
+ * to the model identified by the `ngModel` directive. With static or repeated options, this is
+ * the content of the `value` attribute or the textContent of the `<option>`, if the value attribute is missing.
+ * If you want dynamic value attributes, you can use interpolation inside the value attribute.
  *
- * If the viewValue contains a value that doesn't match any of the options then the control
- * will automatically add an "unknown" option, which it then removes when this is resolved.
+ * <div class="alert alert-warning">
+ * Note that the value of a `select` directive used without `ngOptions` is always a string.
+ * When the model needs to be bound to a non-string value, you must either explicitly convert it

+ * This is because an option element can only be bound to string values at present.

+/**
+ * @ngdoc directive
+ * @name ngRequired
+ *
+ * @description
+ *
+ * ngRequired adds the required {@link ngModel.NgModelController#$validators `validator`} to {@link ngModel `ngModel`}.
+ * It is most often used for {@link input `input`} and {@link select `select`} controls, but can also be
+ * applied to custom controls.
+ *
+ * The directive sets the `required` attribute on the element if the Angular expression inside
+ * `ngRequired` evaluates to true. A special directive for setting `required` is necessary because we
+ * cannot use interpolation inside `required`. See the {@link guide/interpolation interpolation guide}
+ * for more info.
+ *
+ * The validator will set the `required` error key to true if the `required` attribute is set and
+ * calling {@link ngModel.NgModelController#$isEmpty `NgModelController.$isEmpty`} with the
+ * {@link ngModel.NgModelController#$viewValue `ngModel.$viewValue`} returns `true`. For example, the
+ * `$isEmpty()` implementation for `input[text]` checks the length of the `$viewValue`. When developing
+ * custom controls, `$isEmpty()` can be overwritten to account for a $viewValue that is not string-based.
