AngularJS : Directive not able to access isolate scope objects

Question

I am trying to put some default values in my directive with Isolate scope. Basically, I need to do some DOM manipulations using the scope object when my directive is bound.

Answer 1

Most likely the isolated scope variable is not available when the directive's controller first instantiates but probably its available when you need it for a following event such as: within a function bound to an ng-click

its just a race condition and the object doesn't arrive exactly when directive's controller loads
