How can I dynamically add a directive in AngularJS?

by

You have a lot of pointless jQuery in there, but the $compile service is actually super simple in this case:

.directive( 'test', function ( $compile ) {
  return {
    restrict: 'E',
    scope: { text: '@' },
    template: '<p ng-click="add()">{{text}}</p>',
    controller: function ( $scope, $element ) {
      $scope.add = function () {
        var el = $compile( "<test text="n"></test>" )( $scope );
        $element.parent().append( el );
      };
    }
  };
});

You’ll notice I refactored your directive too in order to follow some best practices. Let me know if you have questions about any of those.
