disable nganimate for some elements

If you want to enable animations for specific elements (as opposed to disabling them for specific elements) you can use the $animateProvider to configure elements with a particular class name (or regex) to animate.

The code below will enable animations for elements that have the angular-animate class:

var myApp = angular.module("MyApp", ["ngAnimate"]);
myApp.config(function($animateProvider) {
  $animateProvider.classNameFilter(/angular-animate/);
})

Here is example markup that includes the angular-animate class to enable animations:

<div ng-init="items=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]">
  <input placeholder="Filter with animations." ng-model="f" /> 
  <div class="my-repeat-animation angular-animate" ng-repeat="item in items | filter:f track by item" >
    {{item}}
  </div>
</div>

Plunker example borrowed and modified from this blog where only the first filter has animations (due to having the angular-animate class).

Please note that I’m using angular-animate as an example and it is completely configurable using the .classNameFilter function.
