Slide up/down effect with ng-show and ng-animate

Question

I'm trying to use ng-animate to get a behavior similar to JQuery's slideUp() and slideDown(). Only I'd rather use ng-show

I'm looking at the ng-animate tutorial here - http://www.yearofmoo.com/2013/04/animation-in-angularjs.html,

and I can reproduce the fade in/out effect in the example provided.

How could I change the css to get slide up/down behaviour? Also, if possible, it's better that the css doesn't know about the component height in pixels. That way I can reuse the css for different elements.

Answer 1

I've written an Angular directive that does slideToggle() without jQuery.
