Question

I was wondering how I use the Controller as syntax in combination with ngRoute since I cant do ng-controller="Controller as ctrl"

Answer 1

You can use the controller as syntax when you specify your controller in the $routeProvider configuration.

e.g.

$routeProvider
    .when('/somePath', {
        template: htmlTemplate,
        controller: 'myController as ctrl'
    });

Or, you can specify a controller assigning like when you create a new directive using controllerAs.

    $routeProvider
        .when('/products', {
            templateUrl: 'partials/products.html',
            controller: 'ProductsController',
            controllerAs: 'products'
        });
