I have an ionic v1 app. I want to add a basic animation to an element when it gets added to the view via ng-repeat. Reading the docs, the element should have a ng-enter class I can use to add CSS animations but it doesn’t.

`ngAnimate` is included with Ionic. I’m loading the module:

```auto
angular.module('app', [
    'ionic',
    'ngAnimate',

```

Here’s view code which uses `ng-repeat`:

```auto
<div class="entry" ng-repeat="message in messages | orderBy:'-id'">{{message}}
</div>

```

When I dynamically add a message to `$scope.messages` it gets added to the view as you would expect but it does not contain the `ng-enter` class which according to the docs it should.

I’m using ionic version 1.3.3, Angular 1.5.3 and ngAnimate 1.5.3.

What am I missing? Thanks.
