Get controller name from $scope

Question

Is there a way to get the controller name from the current $scope in AngularJS?

Answer 1

I'm not sure this is a good solution, but I was able to inject $scope.controllerName using this technique:

app.config(['$provide', function ($provide) {     $provide.decorator('$controller', [         '$delegate',         function ($delegate) {             return function(constructor, locals) {                 if (typeof constructor == "string") {                     locals.$scope.controllerName =  constructor;                 }                  return $delegate.apply(this, [].slice.call(arguments));             }         }]); }]); 

Then

app.controller('SampleCtrl', ['$scope', '$log', function ($scope, $log) {     $log.log("[" + $scope.controllerName +"] got here"); }]);

So, based on the answer from Kevin Hakanson and the comment from Darkthread, this code works with at least 1.3.15:dev

app.config(['$provide', function ($provide) {     $provide.decorator('$controller', ['$delegate', function ($delegate) {         return function (constructor, locals, later, indent) {             if (typeof constructor === 'string' && !locals.$scope.controllerName) {                 locals.$scope.controllerName = constructor;             }             return $delegate(constructor, locals, later, indent);         };     }]) }]);
