Angular JS has a
$scope object which is mostly used to expose the domain model, model or domain level properties are assigned to $scope and can be accessed in view as well as controller.
In a single application we can have multiple controllers and each controller can refer to their own instance of $scope object, parent scope as well as
$rootScope which is parent most scope of an application.$rootScope is created when the application bootstraps.
In the below example I have 2 controllers for my application, one is
mainController and other one is named as
subController. subController has a child controller named as
childController.
MainController has one property named as
Mngname, and it assigns a property named
compayName to it's parent scope which is nothing but $rootscope.
SubController has one property named as
amName.
ChildController takes $rootScope along with $scope as it's inputs, it has one property named
empName, it creates and assigns one property of it's parent scope i:e, scope of SubController named as
dept. It creates another property
comp which holds the value of companyName property of $rootScope.
