Initially, I had set up two controllers in the following way:
function ControllerA(DependencyA, DependencyB) {
// code
}
function ControllerB(DependencyC, DependencyD) {
// code
$injector.invoke(ControllerA);
}
However, for minification purposes, I made changes to the controller definitions as shown below:
myApp.controller('controllerA', ['DependencyA', 'DependencyB'
function (DependencyA, DependencyB) {
// code
}]);
myApp.controller('controllerB', ['DependencyC', 'DependencyD']
function (DependencyC, DependencyD) {
// $injector.invoke(controllerA) // ReferenceError: controllerA is not defined
}]);
The issue here is that $injector.invoke() requires a function as an argument, so the question arises on how to pass controllerA to $injector.invoke()?
