Separate common parts of controller into a common controller - angularjs

Question

I'm developing an web app using AngularJS with uiRouter. I developed my route configuration as follows:
(function () {
'use strict';
var module = angular.module('app', ['ngMaterial', 'ui.router']);
function Config($urlRouterProvider, $stateProvider) {
$urlRouterProvider.otherwise('/');
$stateProvider.state('Home', {
url: '/',
templateUrl: 'Partials/homeview.html',
controller: 'homeCtrl'
}).state('Table', {
url: '/tableview',
templateUrl: 'Partials/tableview.html',
controller: 'tableCtrl'
}).state('List', {
url: '/listview',
templateUrl: 'Partials/listview.html',
controller: 'listCtrl'
}).state('New', {
url: '/new',
templateUrl: 'Partials/new.html',
controller: 'newCtrl'
}).state('Edit', {
url: '/edit/:index',
templateUrl: 'Partials/edit.html',
controller: 'editCtrl'
});
}
Config.$inject = ["$urlRouterProvider", "$stateProvider"];
module.config(Config);
}());
The thing in some controller passed to the view the code is duplicated, so I would like to know if there is a way to pass 2 controllers to the view at the same time or if there is a way to create a separate file with that specific part of the duplicated controller and pass it as Dependency Injection in the desired controllers.

Answer 1

You can't have two controllers linked to a uiRouter route. But you could certainly make a service or factory that includes your universal functionality. (See angular.service vs angular.factory for more research.)
var app = angular.module('app',[])
app.service('myFunctions',function() {
this.addNumbers = function(a,b) {
// calculate some stuff
return a+b;
}
}
app.controller('myController',function(myFunctions){
myFunctions.addNumbers(2,2); // 4
})
