Directives have dependencies too, and you can use dependency injection to provide services for your directives to use.
Bad: If you want to use <alert> in another controller or page, you have to modify the AlertService. This might break things.

angular.module("app", ["ui.bootstrap"])
.controller('MainCtrl', function MainCtrl(AlertService) {
var mainCtrl = this;
mainCtrl.AlertService = AlertService;
})
.service('AlertService', function AlertService() {
var AlertService = {};
AlertService.false = true;
AlertService.showAlert = function() {
AlertService.alertType="success";
AlertService.alertMessage = "There is a message";
AlertService.isShowAlert = true;
}
return AlertService;
});
Good: Using Directive injected by the service. Then the <alert> is no longer bind with the controller anymore.
