smart-float is an HTML attribute. It does not "sound" like C++. Maybe you should learn HTML5 first?

Why this is the top comment is beyond me. This is whining.

What do you think an Angular directive is?

It is a DOM marker (HTML attribute, element, class or comment) with behavior (JavaScript) tied to it.

Angular lets you create your own HTML attributes. That's what a directive is.
