Controller definition inside ng-view

[michaldudak]

If a ngRoute view contains an inline script with controller definition, that controller fails to register. A workaround is to enable $controllerProvider.allowGlobals(); and define a controller as a global function, but the recommended approach does not work.

Here's the plunker showing the problem: http://plnkr.co/edit/JU350xL7X9ryF3S72o6s

I'm not sure this is behavior that was intended to be supported.

Nope, currently there is no mechanism to load controllers on demand. We are working on it and @btford owns the topic, you can read more about it here: #11015

Global controllers were dropped in 1.3 so this is not a path to take either.

Closing as duplicate of #11015

Thanks, good to know you're taking it into consideration.
