Getting $scope object in Angular's run() method

Question

I\'d like to do some stuff when my app loads to set up the default state. So I\'m trying to use the run method on the Module object. When I try to access the $scope variable

Answer 1

app.run(function ($rootScope) {
    $rootScope.someData = {message: "hello"};
});

You can only get $rootScope injected to services and run function, because each child scope is inherited from its parent scope and the top level scope is rootScope. Since it would be ambigous to inject any scope. Only root scope is provided.
