Order of execution of directive functions in AngularJS

Question

What is the order of execution of directive functions? The documentation doesn\'t seem to address this.

Ex

1. template / templateUrl (is evaluated)

Answer 1

on related note, here my understanding of exec order across the DOM.

Here is a demo (open browser JS console)

Given this DOM using directive foo:

  

    one
    
one.one
  

  
two

...AngularJS will traverse the DOM - twice - in depth-first order:

1st pass foo.compile()

1) compile: 1

2) compile: 1_1

3) compile: 2

2nd pass: foo.controller() traversing down; foo.link() while backtracking

controller: 1

controller: 1_1

link: 1_1

link: 1

controller: 2

link: 2
