calling method of parent controller from a directive in AngularJS

angularjs, angularjs-directive

Solution

Just simple change your html as below

<my-directive mandate-person="mandat.person" updateparent="updatePerson(person)" >

      </my-directive>

you are not passing "person" with updatePerson thats why it is not working

Problem

Following my previous question, I'm now trying to call a method on the parent controller from my directive. I get an undefined parameter. Here's what I do: ``` <body ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="MainCtrl"> <span>{{mandat.rum}}</span> <span>{{mandat.surname}}</span> <input type="text" ng-model="mandat.person.firstname" /> <my-directive mandate-person="mandat.person" updateparent="updatePerson()" > </my-directive> </body> ``` And the script: ``` var app = angular.module('myApp', []); app.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope) { $scope.mandat = { name: "John", surname: "Doe", person: { id: 1408, firstname: "sam" } }; $scope.updatePerson = function(person) { alert(person.firstname); $scope.mandat.person = person; } }); app.directive('myDirective', function () { return { restrict: 'E', template: "<div><span>{{mandatePerson.id}}<span><input type='text' ng-model='mandatePerson.firstname' /><button ng-click='updateparent({person: mandatePerson})'>click</button></div>", replace: true, scope: { mandatePerson: '=', updateparent: '&' } } } ) ``` when the updatePerson method gets called, person is undefined. jsfiddle here : http://jsfiddle.net/graphicsxp/Z5MBf/7/
