How to programatically get the name from an alias of a AngularJS controllerAs syntax?

MyController as mine

How I get the mine variable? To be clear, I have MyController with multiple usages:

How inside MyController I get the use1 or the use2

Answer 1

Here is how to use it

var app = angular.module("myShoppingList", []); 
app.controller("myCtrl", function($scope) {
    var mine = this; //You can change "mine" with whatever you want
    mine.products = ["Milk", "Bread", "Cheese"];
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="myShoppingList" ng-controller="myCtrl as mine"> <!--Use the choosen name-->
    <ul>
        <li ng-repeat="x in mine.products">{{x}}</li>
    </ul>
</div>

Answer 2

An example of "Controller As" syntax that was revealed in Angular JS 1.2.0

angular.module('app')
    .controller('Customers', [function() {
      var vm = this;
      vm.title = 'Customers';
      vm.customers = [
        {name: 'Haley'}, {name: 'Ella'}, {name: 'Landon'}, {name: 'John'}
        ];
}]);

To use it in view

<article ng-controller="Customers as vm">
   <ul ng-repeat="c in vm.customers">
       <li></li>
</ul>
</article>
