Using 'controller as' with the ui-router isn't working as expected

Question

I have the following state setup for a page using an abstract state and the controller as syntax:

# Details page route
.state \'title\', 
  url: \'/title\',
  ab         


        

Answer 1

If this helps anyone my problem came about from using templated views but specifying the controllerAs outside the views element. This took forever to figure out. Credit to this thread https://github.com/driftyco/ionic/issues/3058

** WRONG **

views: {'content@': { templateUrl: 'views/listing.html' }},
controller: 'ListingCtrl',
controllerAs: 'ctrl'

** RIGHT **

views: {
  'content@': { templateUrl: 'views/listing.html' },
   controller: 'ListingCtrl',
   controllerAs: 'ctrl'
}
