在`$ scope`或`this`上定义的控制器函数之间的性能差异 - AngulrJS

Question

In Angular, you can define methods in your controller by attaching them to $scope :

$scope.myFunction = function () { ... }

Of course, you can also attach them to this , which I've seen used for communicating between directives and a parent controller:

/* within the controller */
this.myFunction = function () { ... }

Are there performance differences between the two approaches due to Angular watching the values?

Even if there aren't performance differences, it seems like a nice way of keeping some methods private, so they won't accidentally be accessed from the View.

From the docs ( http://docs.angularjs.org/guide/dev_guide.mvc.understanding_controller ):

NB: Previous versions of Angular (pre 1.0 RC) allowed you to use this interchangeably with the $scope method, but this is no longer the case. Inside of methods defined on the scope this and $scope are interchangeable (angular sets this to $scope), but not otherwise inside your controller constructor.

So this is $scope , but not for long.
