Cannot get to $rootScope

angularjs

Solution

You can not ask for instance during configuration phase - you can ask only for providers.

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

// configure stuff
app.config(function($routeProvider, $locationProvider) {
  // you can inject any provider here
});

// run blocks
app.run(function($rootScope) {
  // you can inject any instance here
});

See http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/module for more info.

Problem

The following file "works" (the sense that it does not throw any errors): ``` <!doctype html> <html ng-app="modx"> <script src="http://code.angularjs.org/angular-1.0.0rc7.js"></script> <script> angular.module("modx", [], function($routeProvider) { }); </script> </html> ``` but this ``` <!doctype html> <html ng-app="modx"> <script src="http://code.angularjs.org/angular-1.0.0rc7.js"></script> <script> angular.module("modx", [], function($routeProvider, $rootScope) { }); </script> </html> ``` gives the error: Error: Unknown provider: $rootScope from modx Source File: http://code.angularjs.org/angular-1.0.0rc7.js Line: 2491 WTF?
