what function(s) will be executed inside a angular controller

[Martin Bogar]

Suppose I have a angularJS (1.x) controller like

var app= angular.module("myModule");

app.controller("myCtrl", myCtrl);

myCtrl.$inject=['$scope', myService];

function myCtrl($scope, myService) {

    $scope.isOk = true;

   $scope.function1 = function() {

       ....

    }

    $scope.function2 = function() {

      ....

     }

}

********

Question: will ALL the methods inside this controller be executed when it is loaded ?  Or will them just be executed when they are invoked ?

Hi Martin,

None, only when invoked. There are a couple of special named ones that will get invoked if you defined them, the so-called life-cycle hooks. You can read about them in the component documentation.
