empty the element that is being transcluded

[littlemtravis]

call empty() on the element that is being transcluded.

This would allow me to have default content in the element, but allow the user to override the content.

//assume this is in a directive template named testDirective
<div ng-multi-transclude="footer">
   <div>This is text for the footer</div>
</div>

//implementation
<test-directive>
  <div name="footer">
    <div>Now this is the footer</div>
  </div>
</test-directive>

//Current - result
<test-directive>
  <div name="footer">
    <div>This is text for the footer</div>
    <div>Now this is the footer</div>
  </div>
</test-directive>

//Requested - result
<test-directive>
  <div name="footer">
    <div>Now this is the footer</div>
  </div>
</test-directive>

Yeah, this seems like a no-brainer, should have done this in the first place. What do you think about the idea of raising an error (or just a warning) if you don't pass a block for which there is no default? You could always pass an empty block. So:

<div class="container">
    <div ng-multi-transclude="required"></div>
    <div ng-multi-transclude="optional">Some default.</div>
</div>

And then this would work fine:

<div test-directive>
    <div name="required">Some thing.</div>
</div>

And this would raise an error about missing required:

<div test-directive>
    <div name="optional">Override the default.</div>
</div>

You could always just pass an empty block to signal your intention and avoid the error/warning:

<div test-directive>
    <div name="required"></div>
    <div name="optional">Override the default.</div>
</div>

Zach,

I don't think an error is required. I have a template that I am allowing any section to be filled in, if nothing is set then it's just empty.

Thanks,
