Using 'controller as' with the ui-router isn't working as expected

Question

I have the following state setup for a page using an abstract state and the controller as syntax:

# Details page route
.state \'title\', 
  url: \'/title\',
  ab         


        

Answer 1

Your controller needs to return the value of this in order for the controllerAs feature to work properly. Since CoffeeScript implicitly returns the last line, you need to write:

return this

or if you are using the vm syntax and have written:

vm = this

you can write at the very end of the controller:

return vm
