angular 1.4 directive toggle view - angularjs

Question

I want to show two different inputs depending on a toggle attribute.
No I have the problem that I should define each attribute/property of the input in my directive, but the binding doesn't work.
Directive:
angular.module('directive')
.directive('inputBlock', function () {
return {
restrict: 'AEC',
replace: true,
scope: {
model: '=',
modernStyle:'=',
name:'=',
type:'=',
label:'='
},
link: function (scope, elem, attrs, ctrl) {},
templateUrl: 'views/templates/inputBlockTemplate.html'
};
});
Template:
<div>
<div ng-if="!modernStyle">
<label>{{label}}</label>
<input ng-model="model" name="{{name}}" type="{{type}}"/>
</div>
<md-input-container ng-if="modernStyle">
<label>{{label}}</label>
<input ng-model="model" name="{{name}}" type=" {{type}}"/>
</md-input-container>
</div>
Usage:
<input-block model="name" label="'firstname'" modern-style="true" name="'firstname'" type="'text'">
</input-block>
Is it possible to do something like a toggle in directives?
Furthermore is it possible to redirect the bindings to directives?

Answer 1

ng-if creates a new child scope, try change by ng-show/ng-hide
Understanding Scopes
Other considerations:
As you use name,label and type as text inside your directive is not necesary that it will be binding, I recomend use # instead of =, or access it directly from the attrs link argument.
The scope.model could be set as ngModel to use the default angular directive.
Javascript:
angular.module("directive").directive("inputBlock", function () {
return {
restrict: "AEC",
replace: true,
scope: {
ngModel: "=",
modernStyle:"#",
//name:"#",
//type:"#",
//label:"#"
},
link: function (scope, elem, attrs, ctrl) {
scope.type=attrs.type;
scope.name=attrs.name;
scope.label=attrs.label;
},
templateUrl: "views/templates/inputBlockTemplate.html"
};
});
Template:
<div>
<div ng-show="!scope.modernStyle">
<label>{{scope.label}}</label>
<input ng-model="scope.model" name="{{scope.name}}" type="{{scope.type}}"/>
</div>
<md-input-container ng-show="scope.modernStyle">
<label>{{scope.label}}</label>
<input ng-model="scope.model" name="{{scope.name}}" type={{scope.type}}"/>
</md-input-container>
</div>
Usage:
<input-block ng-model="name" label="firstname" modern-style="true" name="firstname" type="text">
</input-block>
