can i inherit a parent controller's variables?

Question

Here is my code:

function ParentCtrl($scope) {
$scope.people = [\"Tom\", \"Dick\", \"Harry\"];
$scope.count = $scope.people.length;
}

function ChildCtrl($scope)         


        

Answer 1

By default, child scopes prototypically inherit from the parent scope (see Scope), so you already have access to the parent controller's $scope properties in the child. To prove it:

function ChildCtrl($scope) {
    alert($scope.people)
}
