JavaScript AngularJS An Introduction to Two-Way Data Binding Two-Way Binding: ngModelCtrl

I am not sure if I am using treehouse correctly.

During the Angular course, one of the exercises asks to use ngModelCtrl with a value from the input form. However, the videos never really went over how I might do this. Are there any other resources that I missed?

app.js 
angular.module('myApp', [])
.controller('myController', function($scope) {
  $scope.user = {
    name: 'Alex'
  };
})
.directive('myDirective', function () {
  return {
    require: 'ngModel',
    priority: 1,
    link: function ($scope, $element, $attrs, ngModelCtrl) {

      // YOUR CODE HERE
      var myDirective = function(){console.log()} 
    }
  }
});
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
  <title>Angular.js</title>
  <script src="js/angular.js"></script>
  <script src="app.js"></script>
</head>
<body ng-controller="myController">

  <p>Hello {{user.name}}</p>
  <input type="text" ng-model="user.name" />
  <div my-directive ng-model="user.name"></div>

</body>
</html>

Hi Grant,

Take a look at this previous question. This doesn't answer the question about any resources you may have missed, but should point you in the right direction for understanding and solving this challenge.

Best, Cena
