Is there a way to get the raw DOM element from an angular.element

angularjs, angularjs-directive, jscolor

Solution

Found it:

ang_element = angular.element(element);
raw_element = ang_element[0];

Problem

angular.element All element references in Angular are always wrapped with jQuery or jqLite; they are never raw DOM references. How can I get the raw DOM element, because I have legacy JS code (jscolor Picker) that needs the raw DOM element?
