Does a function gets invoked automatically

Question

I have a function sendData(). My question is can it get executed without invoking it, inside the controller?

No, but you can call it just after declaration.

var sendData = function() {
  //dostuff
}
sendData();

You can wrap your method in self execution name function.

var sendData = (function _() {
  // your stuff

  return _;
})();

It will directly executes and you can also later call it using sendData()
