JQuery custom dropdown plugin with AngularJS

I have seen this amazing drop down [on codrops][1]. But I need to use this in an AngularJS application. How can I use this JQuery plugin in my AngularJS application. I am very new to AngularJS. Is there a better way to do it just in AngularJS without using the pligin?

Edit

I have tried the following directive

heeloApp.directive('dropDown', function() {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
            $(element).dropwdown(scope.$eval(attrs.dropDown));
        }
    };
});

and here is the html for my select drop down but it dont seem to work.

<select id="cd-dropdown" class="cd-select" drop-down>
                        <option value="-1" selected>Choose your favorite animal</option>
                        <option value="1" class="icon-monkey">Monkey</option>
                        <option value="2" class="icon-bear">Bear</option>
                        <option value="3" class="icon-squirrel">Squirrel</option>
                        <option value="4" class="icon-elephant">Elephant</option>
                    </select>

The error I can see is

TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'dropwdown'
