jQuery's elem.html('') is way slower than elem.empty(). As clearing
element contents happens quite often in certain scenarios, switching
to using .empty() provides a significant performance boost when using
Angular with jQuery.
Closes#4457
when the transluded content is being teleported to the translusion point, we should ensure that
the translusion point is empty before appending otherwise we end up with junk before the transcluded
content
previously the translusion was appended the the ngTranslude element via
$evalAsync which makes the transluded dom unavailable to parent
post-linking functions. By appending translusion in linking phase,
post-linking functions will be able to access it.
we now have two types of namespaces:
- true namespace: angular.* - used for all global apis
- virtual namespace: ng.*, ngMock.*, ... - used for all DI modules
the virual namespaces have services under the second namespace level (e.g. ng.)
and filters and directives prefixed with filter: and directive: respectively
(e.g. ng.filter:orderBy, ng.directive:ngRepeat)
this simplifies urls and makes them a lot shorter while still avoiding name collisions
