Call outside JavaScript function inside angularJS brackets

Question

Is there a way to call an outside javascript function inside angularJS brackets, without having to use signals?

For example:

HTML

<td data-title="'PHONE'"> {{ formatPhone(p.phone) }} </td>

JAVASCRIPT

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

//my controller
app.controller('MyController', function($scope, $http, NgTableParams) {

    //...

});

//my outside function
var formatPhone = function(p) {
    //...
};

You can't evaluate unless the function is attached to some scope — F.Almeida

Why do you even want to do that ? What would that make any difference from attaching scope tot the function? — ngCoder

@Angular_10 to reuse code and avoid having equal functions on my code. But I solve that by calling this function from another function attached on the scope. — afjm

In order to use a scope function, it needs to exists in the scope. You can just pass the function inside of the controller.

app.controller('MyController', function($scope, $http, NgTableParams) {
     $scope.formatPhone = formatPhone
});

//my outside function
var formatPhone = function(p) {
    //...
};
