Add\remove\change data events in angularjs collections?

Question

Angular

Is there any way to keep track of adding, deleting, changing data in an array of models in angularjs, as it is implemented, for example, in backbonejs collections?
something from the category (the code is invalid, I'm more to explain what I need)

$scope.$watch('collection_expression_on_delete', function (delete_item) {
    });

it's just $watch if it watches the collection, then it gives new and old values ​​to the callback and in order to understand which element was deleted, I have to compare them - it seems to me that in such a large frame there should be a beautiful way for such a trivial task

Answer 1

$watchCollection is in 1.1.4, focused on tracking collections

Answer 2

There are no built-in tools for what you want.
