I find it easier to unit-test controllers vs. link() functions since it's
easy to inject $scope into former in beforeTest() and thus subsequently
access $scope properties and methods for unit-testing. ie:
var scope = {};
beforeEach(function(){
$controller(MyCtrl, {$scope:scope});
})
it('test scope.foo(), function(){
expect(scope.foo()).toBe();///etc.
});
Seems like there is not a way to do the same for link() functions - without
modifying build process. Thus, no easy way to unit-test scope.foo(), if
declared inside a link() function *(right?)*
...which may be OK since I can just declare foo() inside controller. One
issue with keeping logic inside directive controller vs link() that I
encountered is dependency on injected ngModelCtrl (ie for directives which
require latter). *Is there a way to inject that ctrl instance into
directive controller (similar to $element)?* I only came up with:
link: function(scope,element, attrs, ngModel){
scope.$ngModel = ngModel; //for use in directive controller
}
