Call start tour method from within another component

[simonemazzoni]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a Tour component to handle tours on my project.

Since angular-intro.js is a directive, I wrapped it inside a component with its own controller plus a service. I made this because I need to fire the start tour method from another component, but since the angular-intro.js directive binds the start method to the $scope in which is placed, theres no way to fire the start tour from another component (since there's not an easy way to access a component scope).

Is there a way to accomplish my task?

Why there's no service exposed for this directive?

I don't see why it isn't a service

i agreed on that, i'll make the changes and i'll be careful about those currently using as directive.

Thanks @millerscout!! Let me know when it's done!

@simonemazzoni i've finished the service, i'm currently testing on my environment that uses both ways, the service and the directive.

later i'll make the pull-request and update the documentation.

but you'll be able to use on this branch:

@millerscout thanks!
I'll have a look at it as soon as I can.
Once tested, could you please also update in on npm?

Thanks

[millerscout]

@mendhak when it's possible, may you update npm package for the last release?
