AngularJS - Controllers | OpenWritings.net

The ng-controller directive defines the application controller. It is within the controller that you control the data of the AngularsJS application. The controllers are simply JavaScript objects.

Here is an example of the controller myData that returns a name and a list of fruits.

<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myData">
    <p>My name is {{ name }}.</p>
    <p>I love {{ fruits[1] }}.</p>
</div>
 
<script>
var app = angular.module("myApp", []);
app.controller('myData', function($scope) {
    $scope.name = 'Joe';
    $scope.fruits = ['apple', 'pineapple', 'banana'];
});
</script>

Output

My name is Joe.
I love pineapple.
