Using instantiated object reference within the controller

Question

I'm trying to figure out how I could use one JavaScript object instantiation across multiple controllers in AngularJS. Try to envisage the following scenario:

var objTemplate = new templateObject();
objTemplate.init();

app.controller('HomeController', function($scope) {

    objTemplate.slidePage();

});

Obviously the objTemplate.initialise(); doesn't work within the controller and I'm not quite sure how to do it.

EDIT:

Thanks for the answer @Atrix - it looks like the way forward will be to create a new service and move all of the functionality from the JavaScript object to it - then use the service to perform all these operations.

Why wouldn't it work in the controller?

Not sure why - but it doesn't.

You can try using a factory in order to instantiate your object once and access it from all controllers.

For more details about factory and service and also examples check @matys84pl & @JustGoscha answers about services & factory
