AngularJS: Force loss of focus

Question

I need to be able to force everything on the page to lose focus at a certain point when the user is editing some items.

I found this solution apparently works using jquery - $(':focus').blur()

Is there a way i can do something similar using angular?

Answer 1

Along the lines of

var activeElement = document.activeElement;

if (activeElement) {
   activeElement.blur();
}

This is not really angular, it's pure DOM and javascript.
