Multiple directives [myPopup, myDraggable] asking for new/isolated scope

Question

I wrote a directive for dialogs (myPopup) and another one for dragging this dialog (myDraggable), but I allways get the error:

Multiple directives [m

There is a way to work around it.

You will not isolate scope of the directive, instead of it, we will create a new isolated scope using $new method . This method creates a new child scope, if you use true at 1st parameter it will create an isolated scope:

If true, then the scope does not prototypically inherit from the parent scope. The scope is isolated, as it can not see parent >scope properties. When creating widgets, it is useful for the widget to not accidentally read parent state.

But it isn't a problem because we have access to private scope by the directive link function, so is possible to work parallel with "parent" and isolated scope into a very close behavior of a directive with an isolated scope.

Se the example bellow:

app.directive('myDraggable', ['$document',
    function ($document) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        replace: false,
        scope: false,
        //scope: { enabled: '=myDraggable', oneWayAttr: "@" }, //Just for reference I introduced a new 
        link: function(parentScope, elem, attr) {
        var scope = parentScope.$new(true); //Simulated isolation.
            scope.oneWayAttr = attr.oneWayAttr; //one-way binding @
            scope.myDraggable = parentScope.$parent.$eval(attr.myDraggable);

            scope.watchmyDraggable = function () {
                    return scope.myDraggable = parentScope.$parent.$eval(attr.myDraggable); //parent -> isolatedscope
            };          
            scope.$watch(scope.watchmyDraggable, function(newValue, oldValue) {
             //(...)
            });

            parentScope.innerScope = scope; //If you need view access, you must create a kind of symbolic link to it.

        //(...)
        }

I developed this work around to a validation directive, that's works very well.
