I made a small angular module to integrate with the bootstrap "buttons-group" ('s plus a bit of javascript to make them work like radio buttons. I made it on this module to do the same for checkboxes: http://jsfiddle.net/evaneus/z9rge/

My code is at http://jsfiddle.net/askbjoernhansen/YjMMD/

My questions:

1) Is this the right approach?

2) Will the model be watched three times, or does $scope.$watch() figure out that it's the same model and just do it once? It seems that way.

3) Is it "correct" to muck around with the DOM in the $watch function like I do? It feels "dirty", but I guess that's what I am asking for when I am adding angular to something that's not angularjs compatible natively. Or?

4) Is there a way to put the ng-model attribute on the btn-group instead of on each button? That'd make it appear a lot cleaner.

You can see it at my jsfiddle above, or the code is here, first the html:

 <!-- to test the two-way model -->
  <input name="test" type="radio" ng-model="myModel['A']" value="left"> Left<br>
  <input name="test" type="radio" ng-model="myModel['A']" value="middle"> Middle<br>
  <input name="test" type="radio" ng-model="myModel['A']" value="right"> Right<br>


myModel A {{myModel['A']}}<br/>

<div class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons-radio">
  <button type="button" buttons-radio=""
    ng-model="myModel['A']" value="left"   class="btn">Left</button>
  <button type="button" buttons-radio=""
    ng-model="myModel['A']" value="middle" class="btn">Middle</button>
  <button type="button" buttons-radio=""
    ng-model="myModel['A']" value="right"  class="btn">Right</button>
</div>

And the javascript:

angular.module('
jquery twitter-bootstrap angularjs
