The following code does not work. Apparently I cannot access someFunction() from child-dir.

Is it a matter of accessing a parent scope from a child directive? How to do it, when the child directive comes from an external library?

Angular/HTML:

<parent-dir ng-controller="parentCtrl">
  <child-dir ng-click="someFunction()">
  </child-dir>
</parent-dir>

JS:

.controller('parentCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.someFunction() {
    console.log('hello');
  }
}
