What's the difference between using $scope vs $ctrl? Is it that I'm able to reference $scope data from other components? I'm still a beginner at AngularJS and am trying to understand scope.
angular.
module('phonecatApp').
component('phoneList', {
template: '<li ng-repeat="phone in $ctrl.phones">'
+ '<span>{{phone.name}}</span>'
+ '<p>{{phone.snippet}}</p>'
+ '</li>',
controller: function PhoneListController() {
this.phones = [
{
name: 'Nexus S',
snippet: 'Fast just got faster with Nexus S.'
}, {
name: 'Motorola XOOM™ with Wi-Fi',
snippet: 'The Next, Next Generation tablet.'
}, {
name: 'MOTOROLA XOOM™',
snippet: 'The Next, Next Generation tablet.'
}
];
}
});
versus
angular.
module('phonecatApp').
component('phoneList', {
template: '<li ng-repeat="phone in phones">'
+ '<span>{{phone.name}}</span>'
+ '<p>{{phone.snippet}}</p>'
+ '</li>',
controller: function PhoneListController($scope) {
$scope.phones = [
{
name: 'Nexus S',
snippet: 'Fast just got faster with Nexus S.'
}, {
name: 'Motorola XOOM™ with Wi-Fi',
snippet: 'The Next, Next Generation tablet.'
}, {
name: 'MOTOROLA XOOM™',
snippet: 'The Next, Next Generation tablet.'
}
];
}
});
