I have a very simple directive

.directive('myDirective', ['$window', function ($window) {
    return {
        restrict: 'AE',
        scope: {
            ...
        },
        link: function ($scope) {
            
        },
        template:
            '<SOME HTML...>'
           
    };
}])
            

I need to execute some code once the directive is loaded. What I tried is to put inside link this:

element.on('load', function(event) {
    console.log('loaded');
});

with no luck. What else should I do? Thanks.
