title: How to access host component from directive?
body: <p>Say I have the following markup:</p>
  
  
  
  <pre><code>&lt;my-comp myDirective&gt;&lt;/my-comp&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any way I can access the component instance <strong>from the directive</strong>?</p>
  
  <p>More specifically I want to be able to access the properties and methods of <code>MyComponent</code> from <code>MyDirective</code>, ideally <strong>without adding anything to the HTML above</strong>.</p>
