AngularJS: Disable data binding on page/controller load, and enable it later

I want to serve a page that already has data populated from PHP, and use AngularJS to edit and update this data, but initially I don't want to load the data into AngularJS.

Is there a way to disable data binding on load so that AngularJS doesn't replace the data that's already there, but enable it later when I edit some data and want to update the element?

You can use the ng-init attribute. This post describes how you can use it.

May be you should to populate the template only using angularjs. Why would you want duplicate work by doing serverside templating and client side templating? I agree with @tymeJV. It is very un-Angular-y,

Or if you really want, you would want to have an init_function inside the angularjs controller that will be called only on edit and will load data when it does that. But I am not very convinced
