@ngdoc error
@name ngRef:nonassign
@fullName Non-Assignable Expression
@description

This error occurs when ngRef defines an expression that is not-assignable.

In order for ngRef to work, it must be possible to write the reference into the path defined with the expression.

For example, the following expressions are non-assignable:

```
<my-directive ng-ref="{}"></my-directive>

<my-directive ng-ref="myFn()"></my-directive>

<!-- missing attribute value is also invalid -->
<my-directive ng-ref></my-directive>

```

To resolve this error, use a path expression that is assignable:

```
<my-directive ng-ref="$ctrl.reference"></my-directive>

```
