ngClass
directive in module ng

Description

The ngClass allows you to set CSS classes on HTML an element, dynamically, by databinding an expression that represents all classes to be added.

The directive won't add duplicate classes if a particular class was already set.

When the expression changes, the previously added classes are removed and only then the new classes are added.

Usage

as attribute
<ANY ng-class="{expression}">
   ...
</ANY>
as class
<ANY class="ng-class: {expression};">
   ...
</ANY>

Animations
