AngularJS 1.5 - How to Set Two Way Bindings on Component
You need to pass the value from the directive into the component:
<my-view passed-var='ctrl.passedVar'></my-view>and in the component:
myApp.component('myView', { templateUrl: '/path/to/view', bindings: { passedVar: '=' }, controller: function () { var vm = this; console.log(vm.passedVar); }});then you will be able to access in the component as in the example
There are a few other ways to do it, such as using a service to handle the information or using require which would give your component access to the controller of the directive. You can find the above method and others here: https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/component.
I had to explicitly state the variable I wanted to bind:
myApp.component('myView', { templateUrl: '/path/to/view', bindings: { controllerVariable: '@' }});Also, since controllerVariable is a string, I had to use the @ sign binding.
