So lets say in my HTML I have something like this:
<tabcontent></tabcontent>
Then the javascript for this directive is this:
tabsApp.directive('tabcontent', function(){
var myObj = {
priority:0,
template:'<div></div>',
replace: true,
controller: 'TabCtrl',
transclude: false,
restrict: 'E',
scope: false,
compile: function (element, attrs){
return function (parentScope, instanceEle){
parentScope.$watch('type', function(val) {
element.html('<div '+val+'></div>');
});
}
$compile(parentScope);
},
link: function postLink(scope, iElement, iAttrs){}
};
return myObj;
});
The HTML is parsed properly, and the value for type is found in the controller JS.
so <tabcontent></tabcontent> is replaced with <div recipe></div> for example..
(that part does happen properly)
So I also have a directive for recipe:
tabsApp.directive('recipe', function(){
var myObj = {
priority:0,
template:'<div>TESTING</div>',
replace: true,
controller: 'TabCtrl',
transclude: false,
restrict: 'E',
scope: false,
compile: function (element, attrs){
return {
pre: function preLink(scope, iElement, iAttrs, controller){},
post: function postLink(scope, iElement, iAttrs, controller){}
}
},
link: function postLink(scope, iElement, iAttrs){}
};
return myObj;
});
Which is obviously pretty simple, and just for testing. But the recipe directive is not being processed...
Whats going on here?
