Ui-Router Create New Controller In View - angularjs

Question

Given that I am going to the following state:
$stateProvider.state('applicant', {
url: "/admin/applicants/:name",
templateProvider: function($http, $stateParams) {
return $http({
method: 'GET',
url: 'http://example.com/applicant',
params: {
request: $stateParams.name,
}
}).then(function successCallback(html) {
return html.data;
});
},
controller: 'SendToCtrl'
});
With the view that is being returned by $http looking like this:
<script>
app.controller('ChildController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.applicant = <?php echo $applicant ?>;
}]);
</script>
<div class="row" ng-controller="ChildController">
<div class="col-md-12">
{{applicant.State}}
</div>
</div>
I get a Argument 'ChildController' is not a function error. I read that in the regular ng-view calling a new controller like this is not supported, but couldn't find an answer for ui-router. What would be the proper way to do templating then if I need the template to display data that is only there once the view is served?

Answer 1

So I couldn't generate the controller from within the view like I wanted, so instead I used the controller generated by the state and attached the php variable to the view, then picked it back up again from said set controller, like so:
State Definition:
$stateProvider.state('applicant', {
url: "/admin/applicants/:name",
templateProvider: function($http, $stateParams) {
return $http({
method: 'GET',
url: 'http://example.com/applicant',
params: {
request: $stateParams.name,
}
}).then(function successCallback(html) {
return html.data;
});
},
controller: 'SendToCtrl'
});
View:
<?php
$applicant = str_replace('"', "'", $applicant);
?>
<div class="row">
<div id="fetchMe" class="col-md-12">
</div>
</div>
<script>
applicant = <?php echo $applicant ?>;
$('#fetchMe').data('key',applicant);
</script>
SendToCtrl:
app.controller('SendToCtrl', ["$scope", "$stateParams", "$state", function($scope, $stateParams, $state) {
console.log($stateParams);
$scope.applicant = $("#fetchMe").data('key');
console.log($scope.applicant);
}]);
