I'm trying to implement a d3 directive in Angular, and it's hard because visually nothing is happening, and no errors are being thrown on the console.

Here's my d3 directive:

myApp.directive('d3-bars', ['d3Service', function($window, d3Service) {

  return {

    restrict: 'EA',

    scope: {},

    link: function(scope, element, attrs) {



// More code below ....

Here is my HTML:

<d3-bars bar-height=20 bar-padding=5></d3-bars>

At first I thought it wasn't appending an svg, because inspecting the element that's what it looks like, but now I don't think the directive is even running at all. I stuck a console.log inside of it at the very beginning and it didn't appear either. Am I missing something simple?

EDIT:

I tried changing the top line to

angular.module('myApp.directives', ['d3'])

.directive('d3-bars', ['d3Service', function($window, d3Service) {

But that didn't work either. I don't even know what's the difference between the two headers anyway...
