Custom editor with Angular JS - element compiled twice

[Nolte]

It seems the Angular howto: "Custom editor with Angular JS" is out-dated?

From the howto...

$scope.categoryDropDownEditor = function(container, options) {
    var editor = $('<input kendo-drop-down-list required k-data-text-field="\'CategoryName\'" k-data-value-field="\'CategoryID\'" k-data-source="ddlDataSource" data-bind="value:' + options.field + '"/>')
        .appendTo(container);

    $compile(editor)($scope);
    editor.css("visibility", "visible");
}

The function creating the cell editor does a $compile on the custom element "editor". However when I follow this approach I noticed that in my own code the link functions in my directives on the custom element execute twice. Upon investigation it seems that since Kendo compiles the TD containing my custom element, my custom ​element will automatically get compiled so doing a compile within the custom cell editor function is not correct?

Hello Nolte,

You are right that since the latest release it is not needed to compile the directive again. I will update the example. Thanks for bringing this up.
