How prevent angular version earlier than 1.3.0 auto trim for fields?

Question

Is there any way prevent angular version earlier 1.3.0 from auto trim for fields in the whole application? I know that I can prevent it for specified field using ngTrim directiv

Answer 1

In Angular prior to 1.3.x you can try to decorate compile function:

app.config(function($provide) {
    $provide.decorator('inputDirective', function($delegate) {

        var directive = $delegate[0];

        directive.compile = function(orig) {
            return function(element, attrs, transclude) {
                attrs.$set('ngTrim', 'false');
                return orig.apply(null, arguments);
            };
        }(directive.compile);

        return $delegate;
    });
});

This approach should also work in 1.3.x though.
