Can you include a sample of a template with your custom directive? I'm not sure what the expected thing out of the box would be. (not the code of the directive, just the use)

Here's the original article I took inspiration from:

http://sporto.github.io/blog/2013/06/24/nested-recursive-dir...

I've modified it a bit to add a $watchCollection listener. So when a recursive array is updated, it deletes a child OL and then recompiles again:

I don't particularly like the fact that this creates a dependency on jQuery (through .empty()).

There are other approaches where the recursion is sorta-kinda-but-not-really built into a single directive:

Edit: I guess what I wished for would be something like this --

    <div ng-repeat="recursive items in sub_items">{{foo}}</div>

or

    <div ng-recursive="items in sub_items">{{foo}}</div>

or

    <div ng-repeat="items in sub_items" ng-recursive>{{foo}}</div>

Whichever is easiest to get into the mainline code.

This would also be useful for me. To properly do the recursion though, I think it needs to have a function attribute "recurse-by" specified which, at any level in the structure, returns the items for the next level.
