how to go from angular event to jquery selector

Question

I know this is bad design but would like to introduce angular to a current project. I would like sayHello to be able to determine whether the element has the class 'is-a-favorite'

<div ng-click="sayHello(29, $event)" class="is-a-favorite" data-type="location" data-global-id="29" data-make-disappear="false">&nbsp;</div>

$scope.sayHello=function(global_id,event){
  //var selector=???
  if(selector.hasClass('is-a-favorite')){
      console.log("this is-a-favorite");
  }
};

How would (or could) I get a reference to current DOM element to query via hasClass?

thx

The clicked element is available as $event.target, so you could check $($event.target).attr('class') or something similar.

EDIT: actually, what you'd want is to check $($event.target).hasClass('is-a-favorite')
