First define the service (in this case it uses the factory pattern):
.factory('dataService', function() {
var dataObject = {};
var service = {
// define the getter method
get data() {
return dataObject;
},
// define the setter method
set data(value) {
dataObject = value || {};
}
};
// return the "service" object to expose the getter/setter
return service;
})
Now you can use the service to share data between controllers:
.controller('controllerOne', function(dataService) {
// create a local reference to the dataService
this.dataService = dataService;
// create an object to store
var someObject = {
name: 'SomeObject',
value: 1
};
// store the object
this.dataService.data = someObject;
})
.controller('controllerTwo', function(dataService) {
// create a local reference to the dataService
this.dataService = dataService;
// this will automatically update with any changes to the shared data object
this.objectFromControllerOne = this.dataService.data;
})
