AngularJS access parent scope from child controller

Question

I\'ve set up my controllers using data-ng-controller=\"xyzController as vm\"

I have a scenario with parent / child nested controllers. I have no problem

Some times you may need to update parent properties directly within child scope. e.g. need to save a date and time of parent control after changes by a child controller. e.g Code in JSFiddle

HTML

    event.date = {{event.date}} 

    event.time = {{event.time}} 

    

        event.date = {{event.date}}

        event.time = {{event.time}}

        

        event.date: 

        event.time: 

    

JS

    function Parent($scope) {
       $scope.event = {
        date: '2014/01/1',
        time: '10:01 AM'
       }
    }

    function Child($scope) {

    }
