W3C validation with AngularJS directives

by

Strict w3c validation allows any data-* attributes, and any class.

Directives can be applied to DOM elements with any of:

  1. <tag directive-name>
  2. <tag data-directive-name> (*)
  3. <tag x-directive-name>
  4. <tag directive_name>
  5. <tag x_directive_name>
  6. <tag data_directive_name>

At least the data- one is fully W3C compliant (provided you declare HTML5 doctype). So the following code validates (the attribute name, of course it fails for missing title, missing encoding etc):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 <body data-ng-app="MyApp">
 </body>
</html>
