</div>
</div>
showData directive:
app.directive('showData', function () {
return{
restrict: 'E',
replace:true,
templateUrl: 'views/directives/datas.directive.html',
scope: {
data: "="
},

<span class="col-md-1">{{data.definition}}</span>
</div>
</div>
and my controller
'use strict';
angular.module('app')
.controller('DataCtrl', function ($scope, DataService, $log) {
$scope.getDataList = function () {
var list = DataService.getDataList(1);
list.then(
function (result) {
$log.info(result);
$scope.dataList = result;
}, function (status) {
$log.error(status)
$scope.msg = "error " + status + " has been occur,please report to admin ";
});
};
});
and when I run my app it does not work .
when I watch it in chorome development tools my directive is comment
what is my problem.How can I call this directive as soon as page load.

As you already noticed, you see empty list because your dataList in ng-repeat is not filled yet.
But you have some errors in your code:
First of all - you should never use one controller twice. So you need to create separate controller for your directive.
replace directive parameter is deprecated, better not to use it.
In your DataCtrl you set the dataList variable: $scope.dataList = result;, but in HTML you refer to list variable: <li ng-repeat="data in list" class="col-md-5">.
Maybe that example will help you to figure out with your code.
