AngularJS Scopes

This lesson is part of AngularJS · All levels

Summary

$scope is the object that represents the model on an application part, whereas $rootScope is the parent scope of all. The scope is hierarchically linked so that the child can inherit the parent's property prototypically. Avoid accumulating too much data in the $rootScope to be easily maintained.

Key points

$rootScope is the parent of all $scope
The child's scope inherits the parent's scope property prototypically
Making separate scope per section keeps the data isolated
Too much use of the $rootScope makes treatment difficult.
