How will you know your scope?

Know Your Scope

It is important to know which scope you are dealing with, at any time.
In the two examples above there is only one scope, so knowing your scope is not an issue, but for larger applications there can be sections in the HTML DOM which can only access certain scopes.

Example

When dealing with the ng-repeat directive, each repetition has access to the current repetition object:

<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">

<ul>
    <li ng-repeat="x in names">{{x}}</li>
</ul>

</div>

<script>

var app = angular.module('myApp', []);

app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
    $scope.names = ["Emil", "Tobias", "Linus"];
});

</script>
