temporary solution: controller: 'pageController as ctrl'

still using the temporary solution...
ng-controller: 'pageController as ctrl'

Would be great if the controllerAs syntax was supported. I'm just trying to change my code to adhere more closely to john papa's fabulous angular style guide and I just spent an hour trying to figure out what I was doing wrong by using controllerAs: 'vm' only to find out that this is an ionic problem.

@elebetsamer Same with me! I spent an hour trying to make controllerAs syntax with Ionic. Even I am following john papa's style guide! But what about when using es6? His style guide has minor issues with respect to es6?

@SiddharthaRRamesh I'm not crossing that bridge yet. Think I'm going to wait for angular 2 and ionic 2 before worrying about it.

@elebetsamer, @SiddharthaRRamesh, Yes, I was following john papa's fabulous angular style guide, too. Only to find out ionic currently works with controller: 'XxxController as vm'. I think we might as well follow this style now

@SiddharthaRRamesh I use ES6 with ionic too. To circumvent this issue, I injected $scope into the controller class and assigned this to $scope.ctrl. Thus I don't have to change my template markup and it just looks as if the controllerAs syntax worked.This trick works well in my app.

My code looks like this:

class LoginController {
  constructor($scope) {
    $scope.ctrl = this;
  }
  // some method definitions...
}

LoginController.$inject = ['$scope'];

Just sent PR #3651 to fix this issue. Hopefully it will be merged soon :)

@urish you are everywhere !!!!! ;)

Same with you @thaiat :)

p.s. here is the repro codepen with the fixed ionic version: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/QbbQPo

Please see us @Ionitron

I cant believe that something trivial as controllerAs is not working.

@perrygovier can you please look into merging this?

it's a small change, and will help many people. Thanks!

definitely need this to be fixed, mustn't be that complicated to fix since the controller: 'controller as vm' syntax is working fine!

@clmntfrndz the fix is already available in #3651, but hasn't been merged in yet

Any expected timeline of when this will be merged in yet and fixed?

Looks like it's set for 1.1 release

Please make that this happen

It is not fixed in the 1.1 release :(

Why is the fix not being merged? well, I guess we'll have to patch it ourselves...

@telemakhos please check out the PR, I have addressed this.

There were a few other things that took priority. Will revisit this.
You can still use controller as though, nothing is preventing you from doing so

controller: 'MainCtrl as main'

@mhartington ah! ok! I think that'll do the trick
