AngularJS Controller

To control the flow of data AngularJS mainly relies on controllers. It is defined using ng-controller directive. Controller contain attributes, properties and functions.

Example of Controller:

<html>
<head>
<title>AngularJS Controllers</title>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.14/angular.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h2>AngularJS Controllers</h2>
<div ng-app="ngApp" ng-controller="nameController">
    First name: <input type="text" ng-model="name.firstName"><br><br>
    Last name: <input type="text" ng-model="name.lastName"><br>
    <br>
    Full name: {{name.fullName()}}
</div>
<script>
var ngApp = angular.module("ngApp", []);
ngApp.controller('nameController', function($scope) {
   $scope.name = {
      firstName: "Mark",
      lastName: "Taylor",
      fullName: function() {
         var nameObject;
         nameObject = $scope.name;
         return nameObject.firstName + " " + nameObject.lastName;
      }
   };
});
</script>
</body>
