AngularJS Batarang - What are interceptedExpressions?

I'm currently using the AngularJS 1.3.0 stable build and the Batarang Chrome extension. In the watch tree I notice that under many of my scopes there's something called "interceptedExpression". What is that or what scenarios create an interceptedExpression?

Solution

    • What is interceptedExpression?

      interceptedExpression is a function returned by $parse.

    • Why its called interceptedExpression in Batarang?

      Because the function declared inside angular source code is a named function called interceptedExpression.

    • What scenarios create an interceptedExpression?

      One of the scenarios I know is when you declare a local scope property using = in a directive. This will create a interceptedExpression record in batarang. See angular src here.
