angularjs <timer /> won't update - angularjs

Question

I have this angularjs controller
angular.module('dashboardApp', ['timer']);
function timingController($scope) {
$scope.timerRunning = false;
$scope.startTimer = function () {
$scope.$broadcast('timer-start');
$scope.timerRunning = true;
};
$scope.stopTimer = function () {
$scope.$broadcast('timer-stop');
$scope.timerRunning = false;
};
$scope.resumeTimer = function () {
$scope.$broadcast('timer-resume');
$scope.timerRunning = true;
};
}
timingController.$inject = ['$scope'];
and this HTML
<div class="row" ng-controller="timingController">
<div class="col-md-12">
<p>
<timer> minutes, seconds.</timer><br />
<button type="button" ng-click="startTimer()" ng-show="!timerRunning" ng-disabled="timerRunning" class="btn btn-success btn-lg btn-block" id="start-timer">Start Timer</button>
<button type="button" ng-click="resumeTimer()" ng-show="timerRunning" ng-disabled="!timerRunning" class="btn btn-success btn-lg btn-block" id="resume-timer">Resume Timer</button>
<button type="button" ng-click="stopTimer()" ng-show="timerRunning" ng-disabled="!timerRunning" class="btn btn-danger btn-lg btn-block" id="stop-timer">Stop Timer</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger btn-lg btn-block" id="reset-timer" style="display:none;">Reset Timer</button>
</p>
</div>
</div>
The controller is detected, methods are called and i have inserted the timer js directive.. But The values doen't seem to update (broadcast doesn't seem to work). Do you see any problem with this code?
I haven't got any online hosting to host the timer.js script, so my jsfiddle here has problems loading :(

Answer 1

Just change <timer> minutes, seconds.</timer> to <timer>{{minutes}} minutes, {{seconds}} seconds.</timer>.
See the code snippet below. (I embedded the code for the timer directive only so that you can test it here.)
angular.module('dashboardApp', ['timer']);
function timingController($scope) {
$scope.timerRunning = false;
$scope.startTimer = function () {
$scope.$broadcast('timer-start');
$scope.timerRunning = true;
};
$scope.stopTimer = function () {
$scope.$broadcast('timer-stop');
$scope.timerRunning = false;
};
$scope.resumeTimer = function () {
$scope.$broadcast('timer-resume');
$scope.timerRunning = true;
};
}
timingController.$inject = ['$scope'];
