In this example having three directives i need to get the directive-sub1 att-name value to directive-sub2. Actually i tried using $rootScope also is not working.

Please help me to achieve this. I hope explained well.

The best way to share data between directives or controllers in angular its to use a factory, here its a simple example to share data between 2 directives.

HTML:

<div ng-app="myApp">
    <div ui-foo>I should change iamfoo</div>
    <br>
    <div ui-bar att-label="HELLO">I should change to iambar</div>
</div>

JS:

angular.module('ui.directives', []).directive('uiBar',
    function($parse,Data) {
      return {
        restrict: 'EAC',
        require: '?ngModel',
        link: function($scope, element, attrs, controller) {
          var controllerOptions, options;
          element.text(attrs.attLabel);
          Data.setDataDirectives(attrs.attLabel);
        }
      };
    }
  )
  .directive('uiFoo', 
    function(Data) {
      return {
        restrict: 'EAC',
        require: '?ngModel',
        link: function($scope, element, attrs, controller) {
          var controllerOptions, options;
          var changeattr = function() {
            element.text('iamfoo 4324242'+Data.getDataDirectives())
          }
              $scope.$watch(function(){return Data.getDataDirectives();},function(newValue,oldValue) {
           changeattr();
          })
        }
      };
    }
  );

angular.module('ui.factory',[]).factory('Data',
function() {
var dataDirectives;
return {
    setDataDirectives: function(data){
        dataDirectives = data;
  },
  getDataDirectives: function() {
    return dataDirectives;
  }
}
})
angular.module('myApp', ['ui.directives','ui.factory']);

VERSION 2

If u only want assign value to scope and use this in another directive, im still thinking the best way its use a factory to make this abstract, but u can assign value to scope without factory:

HTML:

<div ng-app="myApp">
    <div ui-foo>I should change iamfoo</div>
    <br>
    <div ui-bar att-label="HELLO">I should change to iambar</div>

</div>

JS:

angular.module('ui.directives', []).directive('uiBar',
    function($parse,Data) {
      return {
        restrict: 'A',

        link: function($scope, element, attrs, controller) {
          var controllerOptions, options;
          element.text("iambar " + attrs.attLabel);
          $scope.label = attrs.attLabel;
        }
      };
    }
  )
  .directive('uiFoo', 
    function(Data) {
      return {
        restrict: 'A',
        link: function($scope, element, attrs, controller) {
          var controllerOptions, options;
             $scope.$watch(function(){return $scope.label;},function(newValue,oldValue) {
           element.text("iamfoo " + $scope.label)
          })
        }
      };
    }
  );
angular.module('myApp', ['ui.directives']);
