AngularJS Using AngularJS with TypeScript Angular Controllers in Typescript
Example
As defined in the AngularJS Documentation
When a Controller is attached to the DOM via the ng-controller directive, Angular will instantiate a new Controller object, using the specified Controller's constructor function. A new child scope will be created and made available as an injectable parameter to the Controller's constructor function as $scope.
Controllers can be very easily made using the typescript classes.
module App.Controllers {
class Address {
line1: string;
line2: string;
city: string;
state: string;
}
export class SampleController {
firstName: string;
lastName: string;
age: number;
address: Address;
setUpWatches($scope: ng.IScope): void {
$scope.$watch(() => this.firstName, (n, o) => {
//n is string and so is o
});
};
constructor($scope: ng.IScope) {
this.setUpWatches($scope);
}
}
}
The Resulting Javascript is
var App;
(function (App) {
var Controllers;
(function (Controllers) {
var Address = (function () {
function Address() {
}
return Address;
}());
var SampleController = (function () {
function SampleController($scope) {
this.setUpWatches($scope);
}
SampleController.prototype.setUpWatches = function ($scope) {
var _this = this;
$scope.$watch(function () { return _this.firstName; }, function (n, o) {
//n is string and so is o
});
};
;
return SampleController;
}());
Controllers.SampleController = SampleController;
})(Controllers = App.Controllers || (App.Controllers = {}));
})(App || (App = {}));
//# sourceMappingURL=ExampleController.js.map
After making the controller class let the angular js module about the controller can be done simple by using the class
app
.module('app')
.controller('exampleController', App.Controller.SampleController)
