I'm using Angualr 1.1.x - Inside all my controllers I am doing am using the key word this that I use to store all my data and access it in the html file.

var vm = this;

Then inside my HTML views I am delearing my controllers like this:

<div ng-controller="ControllerName as vm">

But I have been wondering why when I call

$scope or vm in the console it turns out to be undifined.

Can anyone explain this to me?

Because the console will only list globals. – cst1992 Oct 15 '17 at 14:56
Note there are dev tools extensions like batarang that let you see scope also – charlietfl Oct 15 '17 at 14:58
Just use [Batarang](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/angularjs-inspector/gjhmfjbfdbeeekiijofbikifokdkfhcc?hl=en). – cst1992 Oct 15 '17 at 14:58

And by the way, you should upgrade your stack. AngularJS 1.1 is very old and has even been superseded by Angular which currently is at version 4.4.4. – str Oct 15 '17 at 14:59
