AngularJS : How to watch service variables?

Question

I have a service, say:

factory(\'aService\', [\'$rootScope\', \'$resource\', function ($rootScope, $resource) {
  var service = {
    foo: []
  };

  return          


        

Answer 1

// service: (nothing special here)

myApp.service('myService', function() {
  return { someVariable:'abc123' };
});

// ctrl:

myApp.controller('MyCtrl', function($scope, myService) {

  $scope.someVariable = myService.someVariable;

  // watch the service and update this ctrl...
  $scope.$watch(function(){
    return myService.someVariable;
  }, function(newValue){
    $scope.someVariable = newValue;
  });
});
