angularjsHow can I use angular.element in an AngularJS application?

Angular.element is a global function used to wrap a raw DOM element or HTML string as a jQuery element. It can be used to access DOM elements, manipulate DOM elements, and bind event handlers.

Example code

var element = angular.element('<div>Hello World</div>');
console.log(element);

Output example

[<div>​Hello World​</div>​]

The code above wraps a HTML string as jQuery element and logs it in the console.

Code explanation

• angular.element() - wraps a raw DOM element or HTML string as a jQuery element
• '<div>Hello World</div>' - the HTML string that is wrapped as a jQuery element
• console.log(element) - logs the jQuery element in the console
