What does the ng stand for in Angular.js directives

Question

Angular.js uses several directives prefixed with ng like below:

ng (base directive)

ng-switch 

ng-repeat 

ng-view

I was wondering if anyone knew what ng stood for because I couldn't find it in the docs. Is it an acronym for something? 

Answer 1

In Angular.js the prefix ng stands for "Angular;" all of the built-in directives that ship with Angular use that prefix. Similarly, it is recommended that you do not use the ng prefix on your own directives in order to avoid possible name collisions in future versions of Angular.
