title: How to prevent html from being rendered until after $http call?
body: <p>So in my "articles" example from the MeanJS boilerplate, I added a comments function. The problem is, is that I have to make a separate call to an API endpoint on the server side to load the comments. I was wondering if it is possible to prevent the HTML that contains the comments from being loaded until <em>after</em> the $http call is finished? Where can I find resources on how to do this? I have tried ng-if, and the element in which the comments reside already has a <code>data-ng-init</code>. </p>
