$rootScope.Scope

  1. - type in module ng

A root scope can be retrieved using the $rootScope key from the $injector. Child scopes are created using the $new() method. (Most scopes are created automatically when compiled HTML template is executed.)

Here is a simple scope snippet to show how you can interact with the scope.

Inheritance

A scope can inherit from a parent scope, as in this example:

         var parent = $rootScope;
         var child = parent.$new();

         parent.salutation = "Hello";
         child.name = "World";
         expect(child.salutation).toEqual('Hello');

         child.salutation = "Welcome";
         expect(child.salutation).toEqual('Welcome');
         expect(parent.salutation).toEqual('Hello');

Usage

$rootScope.Scope([providers], [instanceCache]);
