md-dialog and directives

[lrondanini]

Hi all,

I apologize if this is an old question but I cannot find a solution. I'm trying to include the code for a dialog inside a directive. In other words:

$mdDialog.show({ ..... template: '<my-directive></my-directive>', ..... })

and, of course, "my directive" would be

<md-dialog>.....</md-dialog>

The problem is that with this approach I get an error from angular-material.js at runtime (I believe it's trying to access the root node for the dialog finding the directive). The only solution is to have the full skeleton of the dialog outside "my-directive" and directly imported in $mdDialog.show(). FYI, I tried transclude=true but it's not working either.

In case you are wondering the reason for this mess, I'm trying to avoid controllers. Any suggestion?

Thanks!

The solution I found so far, if someone lands here from Google or Google Groups:
