Is there a convention when I should create a new controller in my page?
Is it something like 1 controller per page? PageController
Or something like HeaderController, NavigationController and FooterController which is per component?
Any helpful resource will also help. Thanks a lot!
It is better to create one controller for the page content, and one for each component repeated on the page (navbar, footer ...), in order to be reused on other page.
Bests practices here : https://scotch.io/tutorials/angularjs-best-practices-directory-structure (see "modularize" and "components")
I can't find anything to justify my claims so just count on my 2+ years of experience in angular.
These are the cases where I would create a new controller: 1. A new view in the app. 2. A reusable piece of code (can be integrated with a directive). 3. When there's a lot of logic in a view controller I usually create 'sub-controllers' just so it becomes more lean.
Final say about controller - Angular2 & React are saying goodbye to controllers, so I'd recommend to move controller logic either to services or directives.
Cheers
