Empty action attribute on a form with angularJS

Question

I\'m trying to submit a form the normal way in a AngularJS application but I encounter an issue : it seems that I must specify the action attribute.

According to the

Answer 1

I created a small directive to solve this:

.directive('form', ['$location', function($location) {
    return {
        restrict:'E',
        priority: 999,
        compile: function() {
            return {
                pre: function(scope, element, attrs){
                    if (attrs.noaction === '') return;
                    if (attrs.action === undefined || attrs.action === ''){
                        attrs.action = $location.absUrl();
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}]);

Seems to be good for me. It looks for a form where the action is empty, and sets it to the current url.

Actually, it doesn't set the action - it sets the attr value, so the actual form directive thinks it's got one.

Update by @Reimund is good - I have actually had to do the same.

New Update - I have added the option to add a noaction attribute to the form element; this enables you to return to a "normal" angular situation. Otherwise this directive will submit forms twice if using ajax.
