In this simplified scenario, I have two files: index.htm, lazy.htm.
index.htm:
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.controller('embed',function($scope){
$scope.embed = 'Embedded Controller';
});
<div ng-controller="embed">{{embed}}</div>
<div ng-include="'lazy.htm'"></div>
lazy.htm
myApp.controller('lazy',function($scope){
$scope.lazy = 'Lazy Controller';
});
<div ng-controller="lazy">
{{lazy}}
</div>
The result is an error: "Argument 'lazy' is not a function, got undefined"
Using a function instead
lazy.htm
function lazy($scope) {
$scope.lazy = 'Lazy Controller';
}
<div ng-controller="lazy">
{{lazy}}
</div>
This works until version 1.3 beta 14. In beta 15 was removed the global controller functions: https://github.com/angular/angular.js/issues/8296
So now, what is the better way to get angularized contents of lazy.htm dynamically?
UPDATE:
In this article (http://ify.io/lazy-loading-in-angularjs) I found another possible solution. The $controllerProvider allow us to register new controllers after angular bootstrap. Works like a charm. Tested in v1.3.0-beta.18
index.htm:
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', [])
.controller('embed',function($scope){
$scope.embed = 'Embedded Controller';
})
.config(function($controllerProvider) {
myApp.cp = $controllerProvider;
});
<div ng-controller="embed">{{embed}}</div>
<div ng-include="'lazy.htm'"></div>
lazy.htm
myApp.cp.register('lazy',function($scope){
$scope.lazy = 'Lazy Controller';
});
<div ng-controller="lazy">
{{lazy}}
</div>
UPDATE 2:
Two other alternatives that works are:
lazy.htm
_app = $('[ng-app]').scope();
_app.lazy = function($scope) {
$scope.lazy = 'Lazy Controller';
};
OR
var $rootScope = $('[ng-app]').injector().get('$rootScope');
$rootScope.lazy = function($scope) {
$scope.lazy = 'Lazy Controller';
};
But I believe these last two examples should not be used in production.
