这是我的一般方法。

mainApp.service('aService',[function(){
        var self = this;
        var callbacks = {};

        this.foo = '';

        this.watch = function(variable, callback) {
            if (typeof(self[variable]) !== 'undefined') {
                if (!callbacks[variable]) {
                    callbacks[variable] = [];
                }
                callbacks[variable].push(callback);
            }
        }

        this.notifyWatchersOn = function(variable) {
            if (!self[variable]) return;
            if (!callbacks[variable]) return;

            angular.forEach(callbacks[variable], function(callback, key){
                callback(self[variable]);
            });
        }

        this.changeFoo = function(newValue) {
            self.foo = newValue;
            self.notifyWatchersOn('foo');
        }

    }]);

在控制器中

function FooCtrl($scope, aService) {
    $scope.foo;

    $scope._initWatchers = function() {
        aService.watch('foo', $scope._onFooChange);
    }

    $scope._onFooChange = function(newValue) {
        $scope.foo = newValue;
    }

    $scope._initWatchers();

}

FooCtrl.$inject = ['$scope', 'aService'];

当我面对一个非常相似的问题时，我观察了一个作用域中的函数，并让函数返回服务变量。我已经创建了一个js小提琴。您可以在下面找到代码。

    var myApp = angular.module("myApp",[]);

myApp.factory("randomService", function($timeout){
    var retValue = {};
    var data = 0;

    retValue.startService = function(){
        updateData();
    }

    retValue.getData = function(){
        return data;
    }

    function updateData(){
        $timeout(function(){
            data = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);
            updateData()
        }, 500);
    }

    return retValue;
});

myApp.controller("myController", function($scope, randomService){
    $scope.data = 0;
    $scope.dataUpdated = 0;
    $scope.watchCalled = 0;
    randomService.startService();

    $scope.getRandomData = function(){
        return randomService.getData();    
    }

    $scope.$watch("getRandomData()", function(newValue, oldValue){
        if(oldValue != newValue){
            $scope.data = newValue;
            $scope.dataUpdated++;
        }
            $scope.watchCalled++;
    });
});

你可以在$rootScope中插入服务，然后观察:

myApp.run(function($rootScope, aService){
    $rootScope.aService = aService;
    $rootScope.$watch('aService', function(){
        alert('Watch');
    }, true);
});

在你的控制器中:

myApp.controller('main', function($scope){
    $scope.aService.foo = 'change';
});

另一个选择是使用外部库，例如:https://github.com/melanke/Watch.JS

"发射架:IE +， f4 +，稳定基金5+

您可以观察一个、多个或所有对象属性的变化。

例子:

var ex3 = {
    attr1: 0,
    attr2: "initial value of attr2",
    attr3: ["a", 3, null]
};   
watch(ex3, function(){
    alert("some attribute of ex3 changes!");
});
ex3.attr3.push("new value");​

如果您想避免$watch的暴政和开销，您总是可以使用老式的观察器模式。

在服务中:

factory('aService', function() {
  var observerCallbacks = [];

  //register an observer
  this.registerObserverCallback = function(callback){
    observerCallbacks.push(callback);
  };

  //call this when you know 'foo' has been changed
  var notifyObservers = function(){
    angular.forEach(observerCallbacks, function(callback){
      callback();
    });
  };

  //example of when you may want to notify observers
  this.foo = someNgResource.query().$then(function(){
    notifyObservers();
  });
});

在控制器中:

function FooCtrl($scope, aService){
  var updateFoo = function(){
    $scope.foo = aService.foo;
  };

  aService.registerObserverCallback(updateFoo);
  //service now in control of updating foo
};

有点丑，但我已经为切换添加了范围变量的注册到我的服务:

myApp.service('myService', function() {
    var self = this;
    self.value = false;
    self.c2 = function(){};
    self.callback = function(){
        self.value = !self.value; 
       self.c2();
    };

    self.on = function(){
        return self.value;
    };

    self.register = function(obj, key){ 
        self.c2 = function(){
            obj[key] = self.value; 
            obj.$apply();
        } 
    };

    return this;
});

然后在控制器中:

function MyCtrl($scope, myService) {
    $scope.name = 'Superhero';
    $scope.myVar = false;
    myService.register($scope, 'myVar');
}

看看这个活塞:这是我能想到的最简单的例子?

http://jsfiddle.net/HEdJF/

<div ng-app="myApp">
    <div ng-controller="FirstCtrl">
        <input type="text" ng-model="Data.FirstName"><!-- Input entered here -->
        <br>Input is : <strong>{{Data.FirstName}}</strong><!-- Successfully updates here -->
    </div>
    <hr>
    <div ng-controller="SecondCtrl">
        Input should also be here: {{Data.FirstName}}<!-- How do I automatically updated it here? -->
    </div>
</div>



// declare the app with no dependencies
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
myApp.factory('Data', function(){
   return { FirstName: '' };
});

myApp.controller('FirstCtrl', function( $scope, Data ){
    $scope.Data = Data;
});

myApp.controller('SecondCtrl', function( $scope, Data ){
    $scope.Data = Data;
});
