                </ul>
            </div>

my question is how not to render the form at all, not to hide it with ng-show or ng-if

Answer 1

I usually use ui-if from angular-ui for this.

Answer 2

ng-switch is designed to do precisely this. It actually removes and inserts items into the DOM based on the condition.
