What's the correct way to communicate between controllers in AngularJS?

Question

What\'s the correct way to communicate between controllers?

I\'m currently using a horrible fudge involving window:

function StockSubgro

Here's the quick and dirty way.

// Add $injector as a parameter for your controller

function myAngularController($scope,$injector){

    $scope.sendorders = function(){

       // now you can use $injector to get the 
       // handle of $rootScope and broadcast to all

       $injector.get('$rootScope').$broadcast('sinkallships');

    };

}

Here is an example function to add within any of the sibling controllers:

$scope.$on('sinkallships', function() {

    alert('Sink that ship!');                       

});

and of course here's your HTML:

Sink Enemy Ships
