Can i use $rootScope inside a factory?

Question

I have a function inside a factory that needs to set a variable to true on the $rootScope. How would I apply this?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Inject $rootscope dependency in the factory's function constructor and use it.

module.factory( 'factoryName', function($rootScope){
    $rootScope.value = "value";
});

EDIT:

If I understood corectly, this is how you use it from the service's return statement:

module.factory('ModifyRootScopeService', function($rootScope){

   return {
       setRootScopeValue: function(value){
            $rootScope.value = value;
       }
   }
});

Then, whenever you use this service (after injecting it), call

ModifyRootScopeService.setRootScopeValue("true");
