I've talked about the timing of directives in AngularJS a few times before. But, it's a rather complicated topic, so I don't mind digging a bit deeper. This time, I'm looking at the timing of directive controllers vs. directive link functions. As the DOM (Document Object Model) is compiled by AngularJS, the directive controllers and link functions execute at different parts of the compile lifecycle.

When AngularJS compiles the DOM, it walks the DOM tree in a depth-first, top-down manner. As it walks down the DOM, it instantiates the directive controllers. Then, when it gets to the bottom of a local DOM tree branch, it starts linking the directives in a bottom-up manner as it walks back up the branch. This doesn't mean that all directive controllers are run before all directive linking; it simply means that in a local DOM branch, the directive controllers are instantiated before they are linked.

To see this in action, I've put together a very simple DOM tree in which each element has a unique (but almost identical) directive. As each directive controller and link function is executed, it will log to the console. This way, we can see the timing of the various methods in relation to the DOM tree structure.

app.directive(

Before we look at the console output, take note that there are two "mid" branches. This means that AngularJS has two branches to explore before it can fully walk back up to the top DOM node. That said, when we do run the above code, we get the following console log output:

Outer - Controller
Mid - Controller
Inner - Controller
Inner - Link
Mid - Link
Second Mid - Controller
Second Mid - Link
Outer - Link

As you can see, as AngularJS walks the DOM tree, it instantiates the directive controllers on the way down; then, it links the directives on the way back up.

This is an important difference. While you can only access the DOM tree in the bottom-up linking phase, the directive controller can provide a hook into the top-down lifecycle. This can be critical if you have to handle DOM events based on when elements of the DOM tree came into existence. The linking phase can never give you that because it's executed in reverse.
