angular.js - Why can't I directly write the name of the controller when specifying the controller in the angularjs route?

Question

Writing like this works: controller: 'loginctrl as loginctrl'
It doesn't work when I write controller: 'loginctrl'. What's going on?

Answer 1

ng1.2 introduced controllerAs, which is what you use ctrl as ctrl, mainly to avoid having to inject $scope and the lightweight controller itself.

If you want to use the original ng-controller. You cannot use this to bind scope, and you have to manually inject $scope.
