app.js is:
var app = angular.module('myApp',[]);
app.directive('myDirective2', function () {
return{
restrict: 'A',
priority: 100,
//template:"<h1>myDirective2</h1>",
controller: function ($scope, $element, $transclude,$timeout) {
//$scope.name = "executed myDirective2";
$timeout(function () {
$scope.name = "executed myDirective2";
}, 3000);
}
};
});
app.directive('myDirective3', function () {
return{
restrict: 'A',
priority: 200,
//template:"<h1>myDirective3</h1>",
controller: function ($scope, $element, $transclude, $timeout) {
$timeout(function () {
$scope.name = "executed myDirective3";
}, 3000);
}
};
});
And index.html is:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html ng-app="myApp">
<head>
<script src="js/angular.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="js/app.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div my-directive3 my-directive2></div>
<br/>
Name:{{name}}
</body>
</html>
Though priority for my-directive2 is lesser than my-directive3 still why my-directive2 is getting executed? Should not it be the directive with higher priority which in this case is my-directive3?

Reset to default 16Priority is a number for which directive gets executed first in case of multiple priorities. Basically you use it to determine the order of execution, not to exclude other directives.
Directives with greater numerical priority are compiled first. Pre-link functions are also run in priority order, but post-link functions are run in reverse order. The order of directives with the same priority is undefined. The default priority is 0.
