pin(element, parentElement);
Associates the provided element with a host parent element to allow the element to be animated even if it exists outside of the DOM structure of the Angular application. By doing so, any animation triggered via $animate can be issued on the element despite being outside the realm of the application or within another application. Say for example if the application was bootstrapped on an element that is somewhere inside of the <body> tag, but we wanted to allow for an element to be situated as a direct child of document.body, then this can be achieved by pinning the element via $animate.pin(element). Keep in mind that calling $animate.pin(element, parentElement) will not actually insert into the DOM anywhere; it will just create the association.
Note that this feature is only active when the ngAnimate module is used.
