I would like to know what it mean when directive definition have no scope:, and also what would be equivalent if I where to add scope:.

Like this example:

.directive('myCustomer', function() {
  return {
    template: 'Name: {{customer.name}} Address: {{customer.address}}'
  };
});

docs.angularjs.org/guide/directive. Clearly laid out in the documentation, and much too much information to cut and paste into an answer here. – Claies Oct 21 at 7:55

Short answer: It means that it that the directive inherits the scope of the controller and doesn't have its own 'isolate scope'.

Not having an isolate scope means more coupling with the controller and less reusability (as it depends on the controller's scope).

What would be equivalent "scope:"? "scope: true" ? – przemo_li Oct 21 at 13:09
    
yes, if you want an isolated scope in the directive. – Tarun Dugar Oct 21 at 13:20
    
did the answer help you? – Tarun Dugar Oct 21 at 14:08
    
No. I do not want to change any behaviour. I ask what is equivalent "scope:" notation to having no "scope:". Is there equivalent? – przemo_li Oct 21 at 14:15
    
To not have an isolate scope, dont have a scope property in your directive. – Tarun Dugar Oct 21 at 15:51
