'this' vs $scope in AngularJS controllers

Question

In the \"Create Components\" section of AngularJS\'s homepage, there is this example:

controller: function($scope, $element) {
  var panes = $scope.panes = [         


        

Answer 1

In this course(https://www.codeschool.com/courses/shaping-up-with-angular-js) they explain how to use "this" and many other stuff.

If you add method to the controller through "this" method, you have to call it in the view with controller's name "dot" your property or method.

For example using your controller in the view you may have code like this:

    


       Your first pane is {{aliasOfYourController.panes[0]}}
