AngularJS Essentials

Scope
The scope is an object that acts as a shared context between the view and the
controller that allows these layers to exchange information related to the application
model. Both sides are kept synchronized along the way through a mechanism called
two-way data binding.
In this chapter, we are going to cover the following topics:
• Two-way data binding
• Best practices using the scope
• The $rootScope object
• Broadcasting the scope
Two-way data binding
Traditional web applications are commonly developed through a one-way data
binding mechanism. This means there is only a rendering step that attaches the data
to the view. This is done with the following code snippet in the index.html file:
Show Plate
Consider the following code snippet in the render.js file:
var plate = "AAA9999";
$("#plate").val(plate);
$("#showPlate").click(function () {
alert(plate);
});
