Scope
if (newValue == oldValue) return;
$scope.plateCounter++;

Best practices using the scope
The scope is not the model itself—it's just a way to reach it. Thus, the view and
controller layers are absolutely free to share any kind of information, even those that
are not related to the model, and they only exist to fulfill specific layout matters such
as showing or hiding a field under a determined condition.
Be careful about falling into a design trap! The freedom provided by the scope can
lead you to use it in a wrong way. Keep the following advice in mind:
"Treat scope as read-only inside the view and write-only inside the controller
as possible."
Also, we will go through some important advice about using the scope:
Avoid making changes to the scope directly from the view
This means that though it is easy, we should avoid making changes to the scope by
creating or modifying its properties directly inside the view. At the same time, we
need to take care about reading the scope directly everywhere inside the controller.
The following is an example from the faq.html file where we can understand
these concepts in more detail:
