Defining a string in an angular directive

<input type="file" my-file="angularVar" my-file-type="MY_STRING" />

angularVar is just a normal var on the scope, that I want to bind task-file to.

How do I make my-file-type accept a normal string though? Just something to pass through to the directive?

I have this:

scope: {
    taskFile: '=',
    taskFileType: '='
},

But what I want in my "link" logic is something like:

if (scope.myFileType != null && scope.myFileType == "MY_STRING") {
    // do something
}

How can I do that? Without it trying to bind to some non-existant var called MY_STRING.

Cheers

Declare a variable in scope with @

Like this

scope : {
  myFileType:'@'
}

Then in html

<input type="file" my-file="angularVar" my-file-type="'MY_STRING'" />

Use a single quote to denote it as a string and use @ binding instead of =:

 my-file-type="'MY_STRING'"
