Angular Scopes

View and Controller

Angualr scope is the binding part between the HTML and JavaScript. The scope is available in View and Controller.

Use of Scope

You can use scope in Angular using $scope variable as show below example

<div ng-app="devApp" ng-controller="devCtrl">

<h1>{{name}}</h1>
</div>

<script>
var app = angular.module('devApp', []);

app.controller('devCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.name = "Developerdiary";
});
</script>

In the view, you do not use the prefix $scope, you just refer to a propertyname, like {{name}}.

</ul>
</div>

<script>
var app = angular.module('devApp', []);

app.controller('devCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.number = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5"];
});
</script>
