In case of angular, in its life cycle when does the controller that we define using the .controller method get executed?
1 Answer
First, when you are accessing a DOM with ng-controller attached to it.
E.g.
<ul ng-controller="YourCtrl">
<li ng-repeat="name in names">
{{name.firstName}}
</li>
</ul>
Documentation: https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/controller
Second, when you are accessing a URL route using $routeProvider / $stateProvider that has the method when() / state() with the parameter controller.
E.g.
Using ngRoute:
$routeProvider
.when('/', {
templateUrl: 'app/views/home.html',
controller: 'homeCtrl'
})
.otherwise({
redirectTo: '/'
});
Using ui.router:
$stateProvider
.state('home', {
url: '/home',
templateUrl: 'partial-home.html',
controller: 'homeCtrl'
});
Hope it helps.
