How to Capture Page View Enter Event in Directive in Ionic 1 Angular 2?

Directives do not get the normal $ionicView.enter events like controllers. You have to register for the parent view event using $ionicParentView.enter.

$scope.$on("$ionicParentView.enter", function (event, data) {
    // will fire enter event in your directive              
});

Note: Do not import $ionicParentView into your directive, this will cause your code to break.

Good luck!
