i what LazyLoading images with Unveil inside an Angular app. Unveil uses the real Image URL in data-src and can't use a custom "data attribute" like data-unveil.

The Problem is that Angular is automatically converting "data-src" to "src". WTF!

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app>
    <ul>
        <li>Angular uses data-src as src attribute</li>
        <li ng-repeat="foo in ['Photo A', 'Photo B']">
            <img data-src="http://placehold.it/250x150&text;={{foo}}" src="http://placehold.it/250x150&text;=LazyLoad" />{{foo}}
        </li>
    </ul>
    <ul>
        <li>Changed "data-src" to "data-unveil", but unveil can't use it</li>
        <li ng-repeat="bar in ['Photo A', 'Photo B']">
            <img data-unveil="http://placehold.it/250x150&text;={{bar}}" src="http://placehold.it/250x150&text;=LazyLoad" />{{bar}}
        </li>
    </ul>
</div>

Angular is not automatically converting "data-src" to "src", I don't know what you are talking about: jsfiddle.net/a7doobqt (it would do that if for "data-ng-src", because that would conflict with the ngSrc directive, but that's not your case) –  Josep Sep 19 at 6:55
    
After running the snippet, the first img tag looks like this "<img data-src="placehold.it/250x150&amp;text={{foo}}" src="placehold.it/250x150&amp;text=Photo A">" –  Sinky Sep 19 at 8:01

You can use a directive:

app.directive('unveil', function () {
  return {
    link: function (scope, element, attrs) {
        $(element).unveil();            
    }
  };
});

Rule of thumb: always use directives if you want to integrate jquery plugins.
