I need some help on better understanding custom animations in AngularJS 1.3.
The objective
- Click on an element
- Animate separate element on the DOM
I have created the following plunkr with no success

Animate Action Baby

JS
'use strict';
var app = angular.module('app', ['ngAnimate'])
app.directive('animateTrigger', ['$animate', function ($animate) {
return function (scope, elem, attrs) {
elem.on('click', function (elem) {
var el = angular.element(document.getElementsByClassName("divtoanimate"));
console.log("clicked");
var promise = $animate.addClass(el, "bounceIn");
promise.then(function () {
$animate.removeClass(el, "bounceIn");
});
});
}
}]);
Since you're using the jquery event handler, you need to call
scope.$apply(function() {...})
to perform your $animate calls.Here's plunkr updated with
scope.$apply

More on
scope.$apply
:https://github.com/angular/angular.js/wiki/When-to-use-$scope.$apply()
Use $scope.apply for the initial animation and inside your promise to both add and remove the classes. Check out the code below and the attached plunkr, which demonstrates the animation repeating each time the animage-trigger directive is clicked.
