The angular.element method should be used instead of the $ or jQuery object (if you are using jQuery of course). If the jQuery library is imported, angular.element will be a wrapper around the jQuery object.
Rule based on Angular 1.x
The following patterns are considered problems;
/*eslint angular/angularelement: 2*/
// invalid
$('.some-class'); // error: You should use angular.element instead of the jQuery $ object
// invalid
jQuery('.another-class'); // error: You should use angular.element instead of the jQuery $ object
The following patterns are not considered problems;
/*eslint angular/angularelement: 2*/
// valid
angular.element('.some-class');
This rule was introduced in eslint-plugin-angular 0.1.0
