AngularJS: How can I pass variables between controllers?

Question

I have two Angular controllers:

function Ctrl1($scope) {
    $scope.prop1 = \"First\";
}

function Ctrl2($scope) {
    $scope.prop2 = \"Second\";
    $scope.         


        

Answer 1

Besides $rootScope and services, there is a clean and easy alternative solution to extend angular to add the shared data:

in the controllers:

angular.sharedProperties = angular.sharedProperties 
    || angular.extend(the-properties-objects);

This properties belong to 'angular' object, separated from the scopes, and can be shared in scopes and services.

1 benefit of it that you don't have to inject the object: they are accessible anywhere immediately after your defination!
