## Definition and Usage
**ng-focus** directive is used to tell AngularJS what operation to perform when an HTML element gets focus.
**ng-focus** directive does not override the element's original onfocus event. When the event is triggered, both the **ng-focus** expression and the original onfocus event will be executed.
