Hey about angular-content-editable

Hi Ben,
thanks for using the script and appreciating it, it's the gas that makes us go ahead.

I've never though of doing it but, since right now Angular is stable I can try it, maybe is not going to take too much.

Honestly I was a little bit disappointed about angular(2/4) frequent changes and I never get too much into it, I've moved to Vue, but I know Angular is still the leader framework.

I will post some updates on this the next days, have a good day!

Yes the project here is awesome! It was one of the first places I found when researching contenteditable. I couldn't agree more about Angular. I've been using it on a project since its beta and yes before V4 it was painful... Angular's Material 2 alpha releases are also painful.

However Angular has leveled off and seems to be stable, including it's planned features, it should not bring breaking changes as far as I can see.

Also, there is no comparable project that I've found yet for NG2/contenteditable. I think you'd have a great audience! Let me know if I can help, I really want to learn about using it well..

i'm on it, started few hours ago, so I didn't forget :]
but the more i'm digging into troubles and into documentation, the more I'm disappointed, to quote a phrase that I just red in a issue talking about Renderer.invokeElementMethod and how to trigger manually the focus on a element from a directive:

I was thinking of angular as a modern and easy framework...but unable to activate focus on next field when validating with enter . for myself writing 15 lines of directive to do this is too much work.

Which totally resumes what I'm thinking right now lol...but I will still finish this.

That's really funny that you got into the renderer... I've been working with it too and yes it's a huge pain. I think the voice around the community is that dynamic components should be much easier to work with.

okk, I finally did it, ngx-content-editable it's still a work in progress and there are not yet all the functions as in this one but mainly because I'm not using angular quite often in this time.

@BenRacicot if you want to contribute, beta test, write a cool demo page, tests or something else it will be appreciated a lot!

If you have any question about how doing this feel free to ask anytime!
