How to call a method defined in an AngularJS directive?

Question

I have a directive, here is the code :

.directive(\'map\', function() {
    return {
        restrict: \'E\',
        replace: true,
        template: \'<         


        

Answer 1

Just use scope.$parent to associate function called to directive function

angular.module('myApp', [])
.controller('MyCtrl',['$scope',function($scope) {

}])
.directive('mydirective',function(){
 function link(scope, el, attr){
   //use scope.$parent to associate the function called to directive function
   scope.$parent.myfunction = function directivefunction(parameter){
     //do something
}
}
return {
        link: link,
        restrict: 'E'   
      };
});

in HTML

    
    call()
