AngularJS Controllers

Controllers manage AngularJS applications. The ng-controller directive specifies the application controller. A controller is a JavaScript object created using a standard JavaScript object constructor.

AngularJS Example

<div ng-app=”myApp” ng-controller=”myCtrl”>

First Name: <input type=”text” ng-model=”firstName”><br>
Last Name: <input type=”text” ng-model=”lastName”><br>
<br>
Full Name: {{firstName + ” ” + lastName}}

</div>

<script>
var app = angular.module(‘myApp’, []);
app.controller(‘myCtrl’function($scope) {
  $scope.firstName = “John”;
  $scope.lastName = “Doe”;
});
</script>

Application explained:

The AngularJS application is defined by ng-app=”myApp“, which allows it to run within the <div>.

The ng-controller=”myCtrl” attribute specifies the controller, and the myCtrl function is a JavaScript function that AngularJS calls with a $scope object that contains application variables and functions. The controller creates two properties, firstName and lastName, while the ng-model directives connect the input fields to these properties.
