Angular.js 1.3: bindToController

I keep finding new stuff inside Angular 1.3. One of the things I found is the bindToController attribute. I’m an advocate of using the controllerAs syntax to get rid of the $scope variable. The only problem before is that in a directive you still had to use $scope…until now.

Let’s first have a look at what the AngularJS documentation has to say about the bindToController attribute:

When an isolate scope is used for a component (see above), and controllerAs is used, bindToController: true will allow a component to have its properties bound to the controller, rather than to scope. When the controller is instantiated, the initial values of the isolate scope bindings are already available

Before scope variables were not included in the controller scope when controllerAs was used. This means that the directive's scope variables were not bound to the object created by controllerAs.  The bindToController attribute fixes this.

Enough talk, show me the code:

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t
