title: Strategies for Combining Existing JavaScript into AngularJS
body: <p>I'll preface this with that I'm new to AngularJS and still learning the best practices.</p>
  
  <p>What is the best practice for integrating existing JavaScript features/plugins/code into an Angular application? </p>
  
  <p>For instance when should the integrated JavaScript fire if a normal implementation fires when the DOM is ready?</p>
  
  <p>Or should it be rewritten as a directive or can the JavaScript be used without any changes?</p>
  
  <p>In my experience I have tried to follow instructions for using scripts such as <a href="http://maman.github.io/JVFloat.js/" rel="nofollow">JVFloat</a> or <a href="http://kenkeiter.com/skeuocard/" rel="nofollow">SkeuoCard</a> with limited success out of the box. I've been able to hack them into my code, but I'm not sure what the best practice would be.</p>
