AngularJS access parent scope from child controller

If you want to access $scope parent property from within your child controller. You can follow the below-mentioned steps:-

As you have defined cities in the parent controller your child controller will inherit all scope variables. But you do not have to call $parent.

See the code below:-

function ParentCtrl($scope) {

$scope.cities = ["NY","Amsterdam","Barcelona"];

}

function ChildCtrl($scope) {

$scope.parentCities = $scope.cities;

}
