var dialogApp = angular.module('tableExample', []);

    dialogApp.directive('myTable', function() {
        return function(scope, element, attrs) {

            // apply DataTable options, use defaults if none specified by user
            var options = {};
            if (attrs.myTable.length > 0) {
                options = scope.$eval(attrs.myTable);
