Re: [angular.js] ng-click on directive with isolated scope

[Suller Andras]

I'm not sure if there is a $parent when you use isolated scope:

" The 'isolate' scope differs from normal scope that it does not
prototypically inherit from the parent scope. This is useful when
creating reusable components, which should not accidentally read or
modify data in parent scope. "

If you want to access parent scopes in your directive, don't use isolated scope.

I agree this feels really odd. I would expect at least some kind of event bubbling from ng-click, that could be captured from the parent scope. 

Nice to know about $parent - I didn't see it in the docs.

You can use $parent to get out of the isolated scope.  As much as I dislike the fact that passing evaluated/bound variables attributes to a directive results in an automatic isolated scope, it is what it is.  The angular team seems not to be interested in allowing a regular prototypically inherited parent scope.

Technically it might make sense that you'd have to specify $parent to get out of the isolated scope in ng-click, it just feels ugly.  I guess I'm back to my strong dislike of not being able to pass parameters to a widget via inline attributes without being stuck with an isolated scope.

Here's an example that working with $parent:  http://jsfiddle.net/ItsLeeOwen/AG3Dm/
