AngularJS directive DOM manipulation not executing link()

Question

Trying to do some DOM manipulation, but link() is never called so nothing happens:

app.js

var app = angular.module('app', ['directives', ...]);
var directives = angular.module('directives', []);
...

directives.js

directives.directive('doIt', ['$window', function($window) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
            console.log('Inside link()');
            // Do stuff with $window
        }
    };
]});

HTML

<html ng-app="app">
    <body>
        <div ng-view>
            <div do-it>
                // ....
            </div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

What am I missing?

Answer 1

Your square bracket is incorrect

directives.directive('doIt', ['$window', function($window) {
    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
            console.log('Inside link()');
            // Do stuff with $window
        }
    };

    }]);//Check this part. The square bracket was on the wrong side of }

Move it like like I have it above

You also have some extra periods in your module decleration

var app = angular.module('app', ['directives']); //remove the extra ....'s
