Bug description / Feature request:

I used a custom template for the calendarMonthCell. To do what I needed, I needed access to functions in the controller for the parent scope. I couldn't find any options that allowed that, so I wanted to make a feature request for one. Here's how I solved it:

In the mwlCalendar directive I added to the scope:

parentCtl: '=?'

In the mwlCalendarMonth directive I added to the scope:

 parentCtl: '=?'

(You could add it to the other view directives too, but I am only using the month view)

In the template for the month view that uses the mwl-calendar-month directive I added:

   parent-ctl=\"vm.parentCtl\"

(Again you could do the same thing in the other view templates.)
Then I used the mwl-calendar directive like so:

<div ng-controller="MyCalendarController as cal">
        <mwl-calendar
            view="cal.calendar.view"
            view-date="cal.calendar.date"
            events="cal.events.list"
            view-title="cal.calendar.title"
            custom-template-urls="{calendarMonthCell: 'customMonthCell.html'}"
            cell-is-open="cal.calendar.cellIsOpen"
            slide-box-disabled="true"
            parent-ctl="cal"
        >
        </mwl-calendar>
</div>

And in my custom template I was able to access the parent controller via vm.parentCtl.

There might be a better way to do this via transclusion but I had trouble doing it that way because I then also needed transclusion in the view directives and it caused conflicts. I'm open to other possibilities though. I think this would be a really good addition to angular-bootstrap-calendar.

Great job with angular-bootstrap-calendar. It works really well!

Seems like a reasonable request, I'll get this implemented this weekend 😄
