Steps for Configuring the AngularJS Applications

The below steps will be followed to configure the AngularJS Applications, to perform controller inheritance:

Step 1: Create a new folder for the project. We are using the VSCode IDE to execute the command in the integrated terminal of VSCode.

mkdir controller-inherit
cd controller-inherit

Step 2: Create the index.html file which will have the entire behavior of the application including the styling, AngularJS code, and structural HTML code.

How can AngularJS controller inherit from another controller in the same Module ?

In the AngularJS Framework, Controller Inheritance allows the controller to inherit the properties, methods, and other kinds of utilities from the other controller in the same module. It is nothing but the inheritance concept of OOP. So, in AngularJS, to perform the controller inheritance, we can use two different approaches, i.e., the $controller service and the Object Prototypes. In this article, we will cover both approaches with a demonstration of the approaches in terms of examples.

Performing controller inheritance using $controller Service

In this approach, to perform the controller inheritance from another controller in the same module we are using the $controller service. Here, we have defined the BaseController using the app. controller. This controller has the methods and the properties that we want to inherit from another controller. Then we have defined one more controller as ChildController. This controller is also defined as app.controller. This uses the $controller service which mainly inherits the properties and the methods from the BaseController....
