Communicating between controllers in AngularJs

Question

I have a simple question: what\'s the best (\'cleanest\', \'scaleable\') path one should go when it comes to interact between (let\'s say) two controllers. Would that be to defi

Answer 1

This is the best way to communicate b/w the controller sharing same data via sevice but it is limited b/w controllers having the same service:-

Instead you can also choose to broadcast events that are captured by other controllers and change that data accordingly this way is more scaleable but not clean :-)

Sender ctrl :-
$rootScope.$broadcast('update', 'Some data'); //method that lets pretty much everything hear it even $scope too.

or

$rootScope.$emit('update', 'Some data');// only lets other $rootScope listeners catch it 

Listen Ctrl :-

   $rootScope.$on('update', function (event, data) {
        console.log(data); // 'Some data'
      });
