AngularJS call a function in another controller from a link

Question

I need to call a function in another controller from a link.

Now I'm in controller DashboardCtrl and I need to call function aggiornaListamedici() that is in controller AggiornaCtrl, how can I do that starting from a link??

This is my code now:

HTML

<div>
    <a href="#/aggiorna" ng-click="aggiornaListamedici()">
        <span ng-class="{button_download:true}"></span>
    </a>
</div>

ROUTING

medicoFvgAppModule.config(['$routeProvider', function($routeProvider) {
    $routeProvider.when('/aggiorna', {templateUrl: 'partials/dashboard.html', controller: 'AggiornaCtrl'});
    $routeProvider.otherwise({redirectTo: '/dashboard'});
}])

CONTROLLER

medicoFvgAppControllers.controller('DashboardCtrl', ['$scope','$location','$rootScope',
    function($scope,$location,$rootScope) {
        // my controller dashboard
    }]);

medicoFvgAppControllers.controller('AggiornaCtrl', ['$scope', '$rootScope','$http', '$timeout', function($scope, $rootScope, $http, $timeout) {

    $scope.aggiornaListamedici = function(){
        // my function
    }
}]);

You shall use service for that

You have two options here.

The most "right way" is to use a service that will do the job, and inject this service in both AggiornaCtrl and DashboardCtrl. If you're new to AngularJS you might want to read the official docs to know how to do it.

The other option is to make a common Controller that will be the parent of your two Controller, using controller inheritance, as described in this blog post. It is more a trick than an "official way of doing thing", but this hack has been proven very useful to me so far.
