I wanted to use the jquery's UI layout plugin in an angular application. Is there an angular directive that does this already, or serves the same purpose?

AngularJS is here to be built for robust arhitecture and that is why we see so many modules in terms of directives and other components. Putting JQuery with it will be like going away from their core design and you will yourself end up in a mess maintaining the codebase.

jQuery is a crutch if you are writing AngularJS applications.

If you’re starting an AngularJS app, take a good look at ng-boilerplate. Then take a look at ui-bootstrap’s directives. They are a living example of how you can do “jQuery things” with a fraction of the code, and build an app that is easier to maintain, way more testable, and generally nicer to work with.

Is it okay to use Angular's Jquery Passthrough as in angular-ui.github.io/ui-utils/#/jq if using the plugin was a must for me .
If you are using jquery seperate it from angular, you can use lodash to define your own jquery function and call then in angular

To create a layout template: http://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial/step_07

Or flexible routing with nested views: https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router
