angular controller inline annotation syntax

Question

I have a MyResource service defined like this:

angular.module('resourceApp')
  .factory('MyResource', ['$resource', function($resource) {
      return $resource('/data');
}]);

And then I have a controller which uses MyResource as a dependancy:

angular.module('resourceApp')
  .controller('MainCtrl', ['MyResource', function($scope, MyResource) {
    $scope.data = MyResource.get(); // <-- this is where the error occurs
}]);

When I define the dependancy like above, using an Inline Array Annotation, I get an error "MyResource is undefined" at the line marked with the comment.

But if I change the syntax to Implicit Annotation:

angular.module('resourceApp')
  .controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, MyResource) {
    $scope.data = MyResource.get();
});

I somehow magically get things working!

The question is: what's wrong with the first one? I could leave the implicit annotation, but the documentation says that it won't survive the minification.

You are forgetting the $scope in the first one, it should be:

anguar.module('app').controller('CTRL', ['$scope', 'MyService', function($scope, Service)

Currently you have no scope, and the $scope variable actually points to the service

Yes! I tried including '$scope', but put it after 'MyService'! That's why it didn't work.

You forgot to specify the $scope in your array:

.controller('MainCtrl', ['$scope', 'MyResource', function($scope, MyResource) {
