Pass form to directive

Question

I want to encapsulate my form fields in a directive so I can simply do this:

Answer 1

To access the FormController in a directive:

require: '^form',

Then it will be available as the 4th argument to your link function:

link: function(scope, element, attrs, formCtrl) {
    console.log(formCtrl);
}

You may only need access to the NgModelController though:

require: 'ngModel',
link: function(scope, element, attrs, ngModelCtrl) {
     console.log(ngModelCtrl);
}

If you need access to both:

require: ['^form','ngModel'],
link: function(scope, element, attrs, ctrls) {
    console.log(ctrls);
}
