"Controller as" syntax for ng-view

Question

I was wondering how I use the Controller as syntax in combination with ngRoute since I cant do ng-controller="Controller as ctrl"

Answer 1

You can use the controller as syntax when you specify your controller in the $routeProvider configuration.

e.g.

$routeProvider     .when('/somePath', {         template: htmlTemplate,         controller: 'myController as ctrl'     });

Or, you can specify a controller assigning like when you create a new directive using controllerAs.

    $routeProvider         .when('/products', {             templateUrl: 'partials/products.html',             controller: 'ProductsController',             controllerAs: 'products'         });
