Can I inject a service into a directive in AngularJS?

Question

I am trying to inject a service into a directive like below:

var app = angular.module('app',[]); 

app.factory('myData', function(){ 

return {

name : "myName" 

} 

}); 

app.directive('changeIt',function($compile, myData){ 

return { 

restrict: 'C', 

link: function (scope, element, attrs) { 

scope.name = myData.name; 

} 

} 

});

But this is returning me an error Unknown provider: myDataProvider. Could someone please look into the code and tell me if I am doing something wrong?

restrict: 'C', 

link: function (scope, element, attrs) { 

scope.name = myData.name; 

} 

} 

}]);
