Angular Directive Interpreting attribute as string

Question

My directive is the following

angular
    .module('app.directives')
    .directive('myTable',function(){

        function linkFn(
            scope,
            element,
            attrs
            ) {

            console.log(attrs.attributes);

        }

        return {
            link: linkFn,
            template: 'some.html',
            scope: {
                attributes: '=',
            },
            replace : true
        }
    });

And I use the directive as

<my-table attributes="management.table.attributes"></my-table>

However the attrs.attribute value in the link function resolves to the string management.table.attributes, instead of being an array.

I will appreciate any kind of help or guidance.

Thanks!

attrs.attribute is always going to be a string, because attributes are strings by definition. You need corresponding scope.attributes which is going to be evaluated object reference:

console.log(scope.attributes);
