Declaring controllers in AngularJS

Question

I've seen that on AngularJS tutorials, that some people declare their controller functions like so:

function FirstController($scrope) {
    // do something with $scope
}

and other have done it like this:

var FirstController = function ($scope) {
    // do something with scope
}

Which way is the best way to declare a controller in your JS file, that will work best with the latest version of AngularJS ( right now 1.0.7 ), as in what are the best practices? Or does it not really matter?

Answer 1

myApp.controller('myControl',['$scope',function($scope){
    $scope.controlname = "Something";
}]);

Answer 2

The recommended way of declaring Controllers is using the array notation:

 someModule.controller('MyController', ['$scope', 'dep1', 'dep2', function($scope,  dep1, dep2) {
     ...
     $scope.aMethod = function() {
     ...
    }
  ... 
}]);
