how to access outer scope inside the ng-repeat in a directive

Question

I have a directive, inside a link function, i have a scope variable which I need to access inside 'ng-repeat'. But it is not picking up the value.

I have tried using $parent also went through couple of answers, but still it doesn't work.

This is what I tried:

HTML:

<div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
    <div my-directive ng-repeat="item in items" item='item'></div>
</div>

You gotta pass scope to your link function:

link: function(scope){
        scope.val = "thing"
}
