mockDirectiveController

gistfile1.js

// Usage : 
//
//  1 - Load the real module
//  ============================
//  beforeEach(module('app', 'partials/my-directive.html'));
//  
//  2 - Create the mock constructor function and call module(mockDirectiveController(...))
//  ============================
//  beforeEach(function () {
//    function CtrlMock() {
//      this.DoSomething = function () { };
//    }
//    module(mockDirectiveController('<my-directive>', 'myDirectiveCtrl', CtrlMock));
//  });
//
//  3 - Instanciate directive
//  ============================
//  beforeEach(inject(function ($rootScope, $compile) {
//    element = $compile('<my-directive/>')($rootScope);
//  }));
//
// The beforeEach block where you call mockDirectiveController() must be a 'vanilla' beforeEach block;
// not one with the 'module(' or 'inject(' callback.
//
window.mockDirectiveController = function mockDirectiveController(fixture, name, controllerCtor) {
  var moduleName = fixture + 'Mock';
  var appMock = angular.module(moduleName, []);

  if (!(controllerCtor instanceof Function)) {
    throw new Error('The mock must be a constructor; not an instance of a mock');
  }

  appMock.controller(name, controllerCtor);
  return moduleName;
};
