New to Angular - Computed Variables

Question

I am moving to Angular from Knockout, and I have a few issues. I\'m assuming that I must be doing something a non-angular type of way.

The $watch function that is made available through the $scope variable is best for this job in my opinion.

$scope.$watch(function(scope) { return scope.data.myVar },
              function(newValue, oldValue) {
                  document.getElementById("myElement").innerHTML =
                      "" + newValue + "";
              }
             );

The $watch function takes in a: value function & a listener function

The above example is taken from this awesome article: http://tutorials.jenkov.com/angularjs/watch-digest-apply.html

After reading through it, I learnt a lot and was able to implement the solution I was looking for.
