AngularJS: Inject controller inside another controller from the same module

Move your logic into a "service" (either a factory/service/provider). I personally prefer factories, I just like controlling my own object instead of using this or anything like that with the other options.

Using a service, you give yourself the ability to abstract business logic from your controllers, and make that logic -- reusable -- !

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

// typically people use the word Service at the end of the name 
// even if it's a factory (it's all the same thing really...

.factory('sharedService', function () {

    var methods = {};

    methods.helloWorld = function () {
        return 'Hello World!';
    };

    // whatever methods/properties you have within this methods object
    // will be available to be called anywhere sharedService is injected.

    return methods;
})

Notice sharedService is injected

.controller('ControllerOne', ['$scope', 'sharedService', function($scope, sharedService) {
    $scope.helloWorld = sharedService.helloWorld();
}])

// Notice sharedService is injected here as well
.controller('ControllerTwo', ['$scope', 'sharedService', function($scope, sharedService){

    // Now we can access it here too!
    console.log( sharedService.helloWorld() );
}]);

Side note : Controllers should be capitalized to show their significance!

The power of services :)

If the a controllerTwo needs to call the same function as controllerOne, you may want to create a service to handle it. Angular Services - they are accessible throughout your program through dependency injection.

var app = angular.module('myAppModule', [])
.controller('controllerOne', ['$scope', 'Hello', function($scope, Hello){
   console.log(Hello.helloWorld() + ' controller one');
}])
.controller('controllerTwo', ['$scope', 'Hello', function($scope, Hello){
   console.log(Hello.helloWorld() + ' controller two');
}])
.factory('Hello', [function() {
   var data = {
      'helloWorld': function() {
          return 'Hello World';
       }
   }

   return data;
}]);

Hope this helps!

You cannot inject controllers in another controllers,only serviceProviers are injectable.That's the reason you are getting error as unkown provider in controller one.

Use Services instead and inject them in controllers,if there is some come functionality to be shared among controllers.Services are the best way to share data in between controllers.

You can declare a variable or function or say object on $rootScope, it's exists in your whole application.
