Angular 1.3 - How to use $scope.$on inside controller because $scope is no longer work

[lovedota]

Hi guys.
Sorry I am new to angular-new-router. How can I upgrade from angular-route to angular-router
I changed using $scope to this, but some event subscribing like ``$scope.$on` How can I replace them. Thanks !

I'm using the activate method (add it to your controller's prototype) to access $scope at the moment. Not sure if it's ideal, or even intended, but it works!

From memory, something like this should work:

class YourController {
  constructor (UserModel) {
    this.UserModel = UserModel;
  }

  activate ($scope) {
    $scope.$on('userUpdated', (e, user) => {
      $scope.user = new this.UserModel(user);
    });
  }
}

edit: I'm using 1.4 so YMMV.

This has since been fixed in master; you can now ask for $scope in controller constructors.
