non scope functions and variables

[Jake K.]

Hello

I was wondering what is the proper way of declaring functions and variables inside controllers that are not part

of the scope, for instance:

function controller( $scope ){

 $scope.var;

 var myvar = 'Hello world';

 var myfunction = function(){

  alert('Hello world');

 }

}

How should I properly declare myvar and myfunction inside a controller?

Thank you

PS: The reason why I do this is because some variables inside my controllers act more like helpers, and 

do not need to be bound or displayed in the view.

Thanks

What you have works fine.  If you need to share something between controllers, consider moving it a service.   If you are doing UI manipulation with jQuery, consider making a directive.

Declaring private/internal functions and variables like you did is perfectly legitimate use of Javascript. You can even declare functions like this:

function controller( $scope ){
 $scope.var;
 var myvar = 'Hello world'

;

 function myfunction(){
  alert('Hello world');
 }

}

Hi All,

Ok, maybe I’m weird, but doesn’t anybody see the obvious bug in here ;)

function controller( $scope ){ 
   $scope.var; 
   var myvar = 'Hello world'; 
   function myfunction(){ 
       alert(myvar);  // <----- I assume this is the needed code for this brilliant piece!!
   }
 }

On a serious note,
Yeah, this is perfectly valid, and I my opinion preferable above putting everything on the $scope!

Thanks for all your answers,

I asked this question because sometimes I see sample code

with the keyword 'this' used for non-scope variables.

Jake,

That is something different! Probably those controllers are designed to be used with the controller-as constructor.
a sample say’s more then 1000 words:

js:
App.controller('somecontroller',function () {
   this.name='Sander Elias'
});

html/template:
<div ng-controller='somecontroller as person'>Name : {{person:name}}</div>

This is also a form you can use. Also you can mix and match it with the $scope style!

Regards
Sander
