Angularjs ng-bind-html-unsafe replacement

Question

I used to be able to use ng-bind-html-unsafe to output unsanitized code (because sanitization happens serverside).

But now that option is gone? I know I can use $sce.trustAsHtml but adding that to the JavaScript all over the place is a huge pain when unsafe was so easy to use.

How do I get unsafe back?

Well, it's quite simple to just create your own directive, here is an example.

Directive:

app.directive('bindHtmlUnsafe', function( $compile ) {
    return function( $scope, $element, $attrs ) {

        var compile = function( newHTML ) { // Create re-useable compile function
            newHTML = $compile(newHTML)($scope); // Compile html
            $element.html('').append(newHTML); // Clear and append it
        };

        var htmlName = $attrs.bindHtmlUnsafe; // Get the name of the variable 
                                              // Where the HTML is stored

        $scope.$watch(htmlName, function( newHTML ) { // Watch for changes to 
                                                      // the HTML
            if(!newHTML) return;
            compile(newHTML);   // Compile it
        });

    };
});

Usage:

<div bind-html-unsafe="testHTML"></div>
