Creating enter animations with ngIf

AngularJS provides hooks to define a custom animation when a directive fires an enter event. The following directives will generate enter events:

ngIf: This fires the enter event just after the ngIf contents change, and a new DOM element is created and injected into the ngIf container
ngInclude: This fires the enter event when new content needs to be brought into the browser
ngRepeat: This fires the enter event when a new item is added to the list or when an item is revealed after a filter
ngSwitch: This fires the enter event after the ngSwitch contents change, and the matched child element is placed inside the container
ngView: This fires the enter event when new content needs to be brought into the browser
