angularjs - Angular: how to scope a function call to directive instead of controller? -

<my-dir ng-show="isvisible()"></my-dir>

isvisible phone call isvisible in controller.

what if want phone call isvisible within my-dir directive instead?

note: my-dir in application tree command recursively calls using $compile there may many of them nested within each other. using singleton service may not work because of asynchronicity.

edit: in retrospect right reply create filter directive. can say, angular different way of doing things.

if you're using directive have total command of element. this: <my-dir check-visible="true"></my-dir>

then in directive's link function can go: if(attrs.checkvisible) isvisible();

then can show or hide element like.
