Upgrading To Angular 1.3+ Style

The first step of any migration is to upgrade the codebases style to conform to Angular 1.3+ style, ideally an Angular 1.5+ style. This means:

• All controllers should be in controllerAs form, and ideally should only exist on directives
• Use directives, specifically "component directives", that use the following properties:
  • restrict: 'E'
  • scope: {}
  • bindToController: {}
  • controllerAs
  • template or templateUrl
  • transclude (optional)
  • require (optional)
• Component directives should not use the following attributes:
  • compile
  • replace: true
  • priority/terminal
• Ideally have one component, or one thing per file
• Ideally have folders organized by feature
