AngularJS Using AngularJS with TypeScript Using the Controller with ControllerAs Syntax
Example
The Controller we have made can be instantiated and used using controller as Syntax. That's because we have put variable directly on the controller class and not on the $scope.
Using controller as someName is to seperate the controller from $scope itself.So, there is no need of injecting $scope as the dependency in the controller.
Traditional way :
// we are using $scope object.
app.controller('MyCtrl', function ($scope) {
$scope.name = 'John';
});
<div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
{{name}}
</div>
Now, with controller as Syntax :
// we are using the "this" Object instead of "$scope"
app.controller('MyCtrl', function() {
this.name = 'John';
});
<div ng-controller="MyCtrl as info">
{{info.name}}
</div>
If you instantiate a "class" in JavaScript, you might do this :
var jsClass = function () {
this.name = 'John';
}
var jsObj = new jsClass();
So, now we can use jsObj instance to access any method or property of jsClass.
In angular, we do same type of thing.we use controller as syntax for instantiation.
